Gravitas

I rendered another version with the narrative connecting ex nihilo to the tape codex creation. It helps a lot. It's as if simply acknowledging that there needs to be something there and filling it up with something—anything—helps. When I rendered that version I realized I have another problem. I stripped so much out of the story that the final realization about creation ex nihilo doesn't have enough impact. It is without weight. In the case of our film, this is not a dramatic problem, it's an information problem. The impact lies in the reasoning about why modern physics was developed. So I have to put some voice over about that. I'll try it tonight.
