Synopsis
The idea for "UNmarked" came to me as I was browing through my mind-map notes and listening to Groove Armada's 'Vertigo' album.
"If everybody looked the same,
we'd get tired of looking at each other"
Groove Armada
"UNmarked" is going to be a 3D animated piece that starts off at a 'factory' which produces (prints) paper-people. Every man, woman, son and daughter is printed and die-cut with exactly the same template.
The story starts when one of the paper accidentally bypasses the printing process (probably blown by the wind) and goes straight to the die-cut stage thus creating a 'daughter' that doesn't have an identity resulting in the parent figures calling her 'Freak' and choosing another 'daughter' over her.
The 'Daughter' then ends up trying to 'draw' and make up her own identity. In all her efforts, she is still unable to look like the rest and is still shunned by the community. In her desperation, we see her trying all sorts of things to fit in and is faced with all sorts of calamity.
Finally, she see's a paper shredder nearby...

why so depressing.. but it doesent reallie go with the saying that if everyone looked the same then we would get tired of looking at each other.. its more like.. if u conform to the norm.. there is nothing to life.. u will not be celebrated for ur uniqueness.. instead u will be shunned for ur differences.. to the point of suicide.. am i making any sense?!?
The line from the Groove Armada song is just a reference point from which this idea derived. Not necessarily the driving force of the story. However, I have posted one other thought that does conform to the lyrics of the song.
