More to report on this newborn

NEW TITLE (kindof): Dragonfruit Drift
OVERALL: An transformative journey inside a pipe's colorful brain.
SECTION 1 / 1 minute intro:
MEDIUM: maybe stop-mo/green screen background. or abstract watercolour with ink
Euclid sits on his roof. Roof has dragonfruit and vines. He grabs his toy pipe and holds it in front of his face. Toy pipe turns into bearded man face. Old man looks to the side. Rooster and worm tease each other. Worm eats the rooster and the old man grabs the worm by twisting his beard around it and throws it on top where it morphs into a brain. Boy is unfazed. The pipe handle extends and twists like a french horn into his mouth. The dragonfruit plant crowds his space creating a hub and traps him. Desperate to save himself, the boy blows the pipe, the brain lifts and lights up in colored sections (Phrenology). Brain explodes into paint.
-----
SECTION 2 / 2'30 minute middle: Everything flows into each other. But a reoccuring image is the rooster from before - the boy's main goal is the find and catch it. Throughout this "tag", there are 7 brain sections he travels thru, all depicting their "trait" in phrenology. Traits include "MORAL", "ASPIRING", "PERCEPTIVES", "SELF-PERFECTING", "ANIMAL", "REFLECTIVES" and "DOMESTIC. In the end, he realizes he was in a giant rooster all along. When he realizes this, it goes to Section 3.
MEDIUM: 2D EXPERIMENTAL SECTION/WATERCOLOR OR GOUACHE AND INK/CUT-OUTS
- NEED TO MAP OUT
----
SECTION 3 / 30 sec outro:
MEDIUM: maybe stop-mo. or abstract watercolour with ink.
Boy emerges from the flood of dragonfruit plant. We barely recognize him cause he's fully camouflaged. He has a dragonfruit head that he peels off. The fruit inside is full of paint. Last shot is him licking the last sweet fruit off his face with a "yum" face.

TOTAL TIME: 4-5 minutes
NO CASTING NECESSARY, NO WORDS, NO DIALOGUE, ONLY MUSIC AND SOME SOUND DESIGN.
