'Up Above Down Below' Concept

There's going to be 3 separate environments, an EARTH environment, SPACE and WATER.

In a nutshell here's what I have planned to happen:

The scene starts in the earth environment with a man boarding the rollercoaster, the camera then switches perspective form 3rd point to 1st allowing the audience to sit in the seat of the man, essentially to be him. The rollercoaster then kicks into gear going through both rural and urban areas, showing off the extremes of both, as it becomes more rural the track begins to travel up a mountain-side, and because it's at the depth of the rural environment it looses power, the rollercoaster is then launched up the track at a tremendous speed only to reveal that the track ends.
The cart is launched into space (second environment) and travels around various stars, planets and extra terrestrial lifeforms. As well as the journey on the track there will be cuts of environments and maybe the man, to show him astounded.

The cart will eventually lose power from being in space and begin to fall to a new planet that is coated in water. The cart falls onto a track on the water planet and begins to go round on it, it passes through corals and fish filled areas, but as the journey goes on the terrains and creatures became less familiar and more alien like, again with this there are cuts off the track to the environment and the astounded look on the mans face. After passing through this area the rollercoaster will stop in an alien station.

Elements and Theme:
  • The rollercoaster will be a rocket cart with huge thrusters.
  • When the cart looses power the thrusters boom with fire and launch the cart into space.
  • There is no dominant theme, I want the clip to show variety in environments.
  • The track is important, it will start off stable but as it travels through the environments there will be loops, corkscrews, jumps - just generally getting more exciting as it goes on.
  • Im going to try and put in dominant features throughout, so in the urban areas there will be huge buildings, cracked roads, tramps etc. in the rural trees, mountains, rivers and wildlife. In space shooting stars, comets, floating chuncks of rock, black holes and on the water planet there will be corals, deep and shallow water, sunken ships, caves, flurries of fish and sea creatures etc.
