God Bless you

This story takes place in a world where people’s souls are kept in a little chamber inside their chest which can be opened with a little door. The souls are represented by birds.

Story line

A man walking.
While walking he finds a girl sitting on a bench with her back hunched.
He gets close to her and asks her what’s wrong.
While he is talking to her he sees that the girl’s chamber is open and her bird is not inside.
He asks, what happened? She says, my soul was stolen by a demon. He promised he’ll help her you out.
He opens his chamber and we see his bird. The bird has a collar in the neck with its name is GOD BLESS YOU.
The bird flies away, and the camera follows the bird.
The bird goes into the demon world, which consequently is a darker world.
The bird gets to a place where a lot of caged birds (souls) are captured. by this black crow that represents the demon.
The bird with the power of God Bless You scares away the crow and sets free all the birds including the one that belongs to the girl.
The bird gets back to the man with the girls bird and the birds get into their respective chambers.
When they are ready to go, a third person enters the screen, just passing by, and sneezes, to what the man and the girl say at the same time GOD BLESS YOU.

THE END.

Birthday Candle Blackout

The story talks about how inside the moon exists a machine that processes all the wishes that people make when they blow out the candles of their birthday cake.

Story line

Full shot of NY skyline with the moon.
We see a girl in front of a birthday cake.
We also see a man with a birthday cake in front of him.
And another woman with a birthday cake in front of her.
The same woman blows her candle.
The camera follows the smoke that goes up to moon.
As we go inside the moon we see this machine that contains crystal spheres with some sort of energy inside.
Suddenly a malfunction in the machine occurs, we see that one of the spheres gets stuck inside of the machine and the machine turns off.
Back in NY, we see the people that were celebrating their birthdays try to blow out the candles of their respective cakes. However, the candles have mysteriously blown out by themselves. Everyone tries to light them all again but none of flames want to remain on the candles. Back inside the moon, we see where the sphere is stuck.
An arm shows up on the screen and hits the machine, this action moves stuck sphere and the machine starts running again.
Back on the earth ,we see how the candles that didn’t want to light up earlier start burning again by themselves.
We see people closing their eyes indicating that they’re making a wish and blowing out their candles.
When the last person blows out their candle the smoke forms the title of the piece, Birthday Candle Blackout.
