The idea is to make a film in which we see a cycle...This cycle will study an idea of new creation without pleasure and the art of numbing for progression......
Conditioning...
We will have animated / live action models (M/F) connected with wires, sitting back to back and breeding.
In between them a large vessel bubbles a growing product...the product will be an exact momentary translation of these two figures ...connected via cerebral and genital insertions displaying from which tubes and wires...with both sets connected up to the vessel.

At the time of conception the two figures will be bombarded with images displayed on TVs directly in front of their faces ( wars, presidents, terrorist scams, cover ups and truths etc etc) meanwhile a surgeon will perform agonising experiments upon them.

Once this transfer is complete the two subjects will be disposed of....
The embryo will grow using animation and become a fully functioning human...it will be cross gender and able to regenerate on its own....
The new breed will have seen the worst of life in the first seconds of its own creation.....
A fully conditioned and new evolution of human.

Ok..
I did not get it all in there but It translates fairly well I think
I went for the idea of the birth coming from the TV as it seemed to be the completion of the cycle...Yes...this has been done many times ..But I looked at capturing the feeling and atmosphere created in these versions of the process...
It was homage and not an exact replica or rip off..
