And Another One
If people would contribute their own, that would be grand. Anyway, the other one from the list:
by taleswapper:
The camera pans across a normal downtown city street showing average
people going about their daily business.
VO: There is a world beyond our world...
The camera rotates 180 degrees and focuses on a woman standing outside a
building across the street. She is wearing a dress which looks like it
came from the future, but evokes the feel of Elizabethan fashion. No one
seems to notice her. The camera moves toward her rotating back 180 degrees
as it does so, showing us the world she sees- A mythical landscape of
city-spirits and urban flora/fauna with the occasional tree spirit eking
out a meager existence.
VO: ...a world of concepts...
A man wearing a tweed jacket with elbow patches leans against a massive
wooden desk explaining to someone off camera that, "Fear, Love, Regret...
these things are not merely ideas. These things exist because we embody
them. If the power of Love dies, Love dies with her.
VO: ...a world at war.
A pale rider on a white horse rides up an empty city street. His pace is
even. He bears a wicked blade which exudes death. He rides toward the
woman from the first shot. The man in tweed's voice can be heard behind
the scene, "The excrucian's are the one force which can permanently end a
power's life. They seek to destroy us all, and with us, everything that
exists."
VO: This summer...
...the Excrucians will march...
Wide shot of four Excrucians marching at the head of a host of the worst
mankind has to offer (serial killers, rapists, etc.)
VO: ...and everything you know...
Montage of quick shots of puppies, couples, children, games, the space
shuttle, wilderness, buildings, etc. The pace of the shots quickens...
VO: ...will cease to exist.
and cuts to black as the wicked blade we saw earlier slices through the
shot leaving behind a void
VO: All that stands in their way are...
the power of hope...
A young-man in his mid-twenties with the bright eyes of a child smiles at
the camera. His garb is reminiscent of twenties pulp and he has a button
on his shirt which reads, "Jules Verne Rules!"
VO: ...the power of love...
The woman from the opening scene watches a couple walking down the street
which we saw earlier. As they pass her, the man looks down at the woman,
they share a knowing look and wordlessly reach for eachother's hand.
VO: ...and the power of Kung-Fu.
An oriental man wearing a gi is standing atop a 50 story building. His
eyes narrow as he looks below. He leaps from the roof top to land
soundlessly behind a well-dressed man in a white suit. As he rises from
his landing position to a full stand, the suited man brings his fist back
towards Kung-Fu's head. Kung-Fu quickly moves his head to the side and
grabs the fist. A furious kung-fu battle ensues.
VO:...between men and gods...
A shadowy form in a hospital floats above a terminal patients bed,
stealing his breath. Hope steps out of a shadow and clutches the form
cutting off the flow of breath.
VO:...reality and myth...
The camera shot moves out the hospital window to a wide-shot city-scape.
The scene shifts from a city-scape to a myth-scape.
VO:...perfection and the end of everything...
The myth-scape is ordered and idealized, but begins to crumble and fade
as pieces are removed until only blackness remains.
VO:...there stand The NOBILIS
