So after letting the concept I wanted to work with float around in my head for a while longer I managed to narrow it down some. I decided that what I was really trying to get at through this series was about the "naturalness" of Man. The destructive effects to the environment that we become more and more aware of in society kind of only come about as our technology to study such things becomes better. I think technological advancement is a natural part of our evolution. Another tool leading us to some higher awareness, of what nobody knows but in the end just a tool.
This first movie in the series was just kind of connecting the physical body to other elements in the natural world. Life, biologically, starts from just a cell and begins to grow more and more complex until you get a human being, a super complex form built of billions of cells. I don't think this is news to anybody now a days but I'm always kind of dumbfounded how widely this fact is only slightly accepted. I find it pretty ridiculous that today in the 21st century there is still a debate of whether evolution should be taught in biology classes. Today's concept of evolution is founded on observable phenomena in biology, no theories are accepted as scientific fact only recorded results through observation. Anyway, I digress, I just attempted to convey this in a creative way.
