Opens w/ sculpture of a man stradling a long pipe; like a series of cylinders stretching out of larger cylinders; above it a part of something flat that looks like a wing; this is mounted very high -- in BG is an upper-story balcony; Next; a tramcar filled w/ life-size papier-mache(?) "people". Pan up; to a giant flying insect attached to the top of the tram; gripping it with its legs; buildings in BG. Another view of the big bug - like a dragon-fly. w/ buildings in BG; emphasizing that this is indeed a giant insect. Looks like a sci-fi horror movie concept - the tram stolen by the giant bugs. Next up is a construction of a part of a church; w/ people in front. CU Man & woman sculptures sitting together on bench; man's arm moving. CU the "people" outside the "church". GV crowd of people gathered around some other structure - can't see details but it does look like a parade float. Then a big ship; with various passengers; crew placed around the decks etc -- real people stand below. (Decomposition starts in this shot.) (Quality poor) crowd in street;; part of it seems to be moving. Pan rt. crowd; shop buildingss smoke is coming from something. Shot of another possible float. | |
