    JP Serra Setting Up The Future

    What I learned doing this assignment is that AI gave me the idea that the magical silver oil could be made from Sylvanor’s broken stone fragment. This is a real breakthrough actually!

    Make a list of events/character reveals/under-the-surface info that COULD be set up in the pilot.

    – Ben reveals the power and curse of his stone. This raises the question, what are the powers and the curses of the other stones?

    – Sylvanor prepares his army for an eventual attack.

    – Mirelle brings one of Cody’s toy to life but there are many toys. Will she bring the other ones to life as well?

    – Nayeli sees something lurking in the shadows and hears a kid laughing? What is it?

    – Nayeli travels alone? What is she looking for?

    – Who destroyed Cody’s project?

    – Where does the magical oil come from?

    – What happened to the mineworkers? Where were they taken?

    – Why can’t Mirelle have any children?

    – Why does Sylvanor need all of the Stonevale’s mineworkers?

    – Why doesn’t Cody want to follow his parents’ footsteps?

    – How will Mirelle hide the creature she created?

    – What will be the villager’s reaction when they find out about her secret?

    – Are the creatures born from the magical oil good or bad?

    – Rivalry between Lambert and Urnek. How will this end?

    – How will Lambert’s weapons defend when they will be attacked?

    Fill those into the Outline and tell us which ones you are going to use.

    SKYY LAR needs to work on its sense of purpose or identity as a leader, questioning the effectiveness of its efforts to protect and guide its flock amidst growing environmental threats.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: Flashbacks or subtle hints throughout the episode suggest SKYY LAR is not just an ordinary feral pigeon.

    INTRIGUE: SECRET IDENTITY: What is the true identity of this feral pigeon?

    Middle/Incident:

    SKYY LAR goes to the RIDLEY market, a hotspot for illegal wildlife trade, unknowingly supported by the Beauty Industry, for sustenance.

    SKYY LAR gets its legs trapped in synthetic waste while seeking food and cannot break free for three seasons.

    SURFACE LAYER: EMMA, an innocent, compassionate, and resourceful young girl, has a budding interest in environmentalism. She discovers SKYY LAR injured.

    She became interested in environmental activism during a school project and had a natural inclination to help others.

    She helps a distressed bird, intervenes by de-stringing, and cannot save one leg.

    LAYER: Past Transgression: EMMA’s family has ties to the beauty industry and is involved in undercover operations against it.

    Turning Point 1:

    SKYY LAR loses its left leg, is physically challenged, and has an emotional, how-to, and mental shift crisis.

    SURFACE LAYER: EMMA constructs a prosthetic leg for SKYY LAR to overcome barriers.

    Character Layer: Hiding Past Transgressions: EMMA’s family has a hidden connection to the environmental harm that led to SKYY LAR’s injury. EMMA grapples with the connection while concealing her family’s involvement.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: EMMA’s conflicted emotions when faced with evidence that implicates her family in environmental harm hints at deeper secrets she’s trying to keep hidden.

    SKYY LAR realizes the extent of the environmental threat that led to its injury and the genuine care EMMA gives her.

    SKYY LAR and EMMA bond.

    SKYY LAR adapts to the new situation, and their bond strengthens.

    Conflict Introduction: EMMA investigates the origin of synthetic waste and uncovers troubling ties to her family’s investment.

    SKYY LAR returns to its original home under the train bridges to the extent of the communities’ distress, an overwhelming concern and solidarity.

    SURFACE LAYER: RAPHAEL is an English Trumpeter Pigeon with a distinct personality and background who is indifferent. It tells SKYY LAR it rented out SKYY LAR’s roost. SKYY LAR faces a new reality.

    SKYY LAR acknowledges the scale of the injury and suffering witnessed among the 20,000 pigeons. The bird community has seen the adverse effects of environmental destruction firsthand. The ecological harm is not just incidental but a deliberate act by the Beauty Industry to monopolize resources, creating a direct conflict with the coalition’s goals.

    SKYY LAR can only protect its habitat if it forms and leads a bird coalition against ecological harm.

    SURFACE LAYER: Hidden Relationship: RAVEN, a mentor figure mentors SKYY LAR and the Rebellion.

    LAYER: RAVEN connects to ancient or mystical environmental knowledge and possibly a deeper connection to the events unfolding in the city.

    RAVEN offers guidance but stays out of direct action. He arrives from the Pembrokeshire Coast to spend the weekend.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: Through cryptic advice and enigmatic behavior, RAVEN hints at a deeper understanding of the conflict and its implications. As the pilot progresses, revelations about RAVEN’s past and true identity shed light on its motivations and the significance of its role in guiding the rebellion.

    TURNING POINT 1:

    RAVEN makes a strategic yet mysterious proposal for SKYY LAR to lead a collective action against environmental harm.

    TURNING POINT 2:

    Having witnessed adverse effects firsthand, the bird community supports SKYY LAR to lead the act against environmental harm.

    MIDPOINT: Conflict Expansion and Revelation

    IMPOSSIBLE GOAL

    SKYY LAR commits to forming and leading the birds’ coalition to dismantle the deeply entrenched and influential Beauty Industry, causing environmental destruction. It is inspired by the overwhelming support from other pigeons and RAVEN’s proposal.

    SKYY LAR collaborates with EMMA to broaden the group to a bird-human alliance.

    TURNING POINT 3:

    EMMA stands up for her environmental beliefs rather than protecting her family’s interests.

    SURFACE: SKYY LAR’s injury forces it to confront its limitations and redefine its leadership role.

    LAYER: Major Shift in Meaning: The discovery of the global conspiracy reshapes the rebellion’s goals and strategies, leading to a fundamental shift in their approach to combating environmental harm.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: The pilot culminates in a pivotal moment where SKYY LAR and its allies uncover the true scope of the Beauty Industry’s activities, prompting them to reassess their tactics and alliances. This revelation sets the stage for future conflicts and challenges as the rebellion prepares to confront the industry head-on.

    Act 3: Challenges, Strategy Development and Infiltration, Discovery.

    Deepening of the Conflict:

    Essence: SKYY LAR forms a core group, recruits RAVEN and skeptical RAPHAEL, and collaborates with EMMA. DR. GREEN joins. SKYY LAR and allies conduct peaceful fly-pasts, demand action from Industry, and infiltrate a Beauty Company Headquarters to gather evidence. The rebellion uncovers a global conspiracy that threatens their cause.

    Beginning:

    SKYY LAR recruits RAVEN as a mentor and core member. SKYY LAR recruits RAPHAEL. SKYY LAR recruits RAPHAEL, who grows interested, prompted by realizations about the crisis.

    SURFACE LAYER: RAPHAEL shifts his trajectory towards greater involvement.

    SKYY collaborates with EMMA to broaden the group with the human alliance.

    SURFACE LAYER: DR. GREEN is an environmental scientist working on an ecological technology. She is focused on her research and somewhat detached from grassroots movements.

    CHARACTER LAYER: DECEPTION: DR. AVA GREEN has a controversial past in the beauty industry and maintains secret connections to whistleblowers.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: Clues about DR. AVA GREEN’s past and hidden agenda emerge as he becomes more deeply involved with the rebellion. His interactions with other characters, especially when he exhibits conflicting loyalties or conceals information, gradually expose his true motivations.

    She encounters SKYY LAR and allies and chooses her innovative scientific discovery that could benefit the beauty industry by withholding it to support the coalition’s cause. She aligns her scientific expertise with SKYY LAR and EMMA’s coalition, seeing an opportunity to apply her work more effectively. (DR. GREEN joins and offers technological help).

    DR. AVA GREEN is an expert in a specific field of biotechnology that can counteract the harm of the beauty industry, making her role pivotal in the coalition’s strategy.

    RAVEN emphasizes the need for logical strategies, focusing on specific campaign targets and methods, while the coalition establishes communication networks, safe havens, and resource channels.

    He becomes increasingly aware of the potential risks and consequences of fully committing to the cause, including jeopardizing his interests and safety.

    RAPHAEL is approached by factions with conflicting interests who seek to exploit his hesitation for their gain, further complicating his decision-making process.

    PLOT LAYER: Blackmail: RAPHAEL is coerced into greater involvement through blackmail, forcing him to make difficult choices to protect himself or his interests.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: Subtle hints or cryptic conversations imply that RAPHAEL is being manipulated or pressured into taking a more active role in the coalition, raising questions about his motives and loyalties.

    LAYER: CONSPIRACY/SECRET MEETINGS: Raphael is secretly negotiating with factions tied to the Beauty Industry. He is observed having secret meetings with a group of pigeons tied to the Beauty Industry. These clandestine gatherings arouse suspicion among the alliance members, who wonder about Raphael’s true allegiances.

    DILEMMA INTENSIFIES:

    (SKYY LAR’s dilemma intensifies as the coalition gains momentum and begins confronting the Beauty Industry’s harmful practices.)

    SURFACE LAYER: SKYY LAR and allies conducted a peaceful fly-past to raise awareness of the Beauty Industry’s environmental impact. EMMA complements it with a social media campaign.

    They write ‘Beauty Industry chemicals harmful’ in the sky. EMMA uses social media platforms to spread the same message and increase awareness.

    <div>The campaign aims to pressure the industry to
    change harmful practices, such as adopting sustainable sourcing, red</div>

    adopting sustainable sourcing, reducing waste, and committing to eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

    SITUATION LAYER: A wrong person turns good

    A member of the Beauty Industry unexpectedly joins the coalition after witnessing the harmful effects of their practices, leading to a shift in alliances and strategies.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED:

    A key figure from the Beauty Industry expresses remorse or takes a stand against their own company’s unethical actions, surprising both the coalition and viewers alike and prompting a reevaluation of their goals and tactics.

    SKYY LAR meets a Beauty Industry representative, presents the Rebellion’s case, and demands action. The 20,000 pigeons and other coalition members highly expect change and protection.

    The Beauty Industry dismisses the Rebellion’s effort as a minor nuisance, exaggerated ‘Sky rats,’ and portrays itself as environmentally responsible.

    Some industry players employ intimidation tactics to create internal fear and division. As a result, one fruit pigeon died, and people suspected the industry had caused it.

    RAPHAEL doubts the coalition’s potential impact and fears the results of taking a definitive stand. He chooses his benefit for the well-being of the alliance.

    RAVEN projects confidence and proposes action plans for the coalition in memory of a dead member. However, RAVEN is concerned that the coalition’s actions might provoke a severe backlash, endangering the movement and the broader avian community.

    EMMA fears her actions might expose her to danger as she delves deeper into activism.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: As EMMA delves deeper into activism, she struggles with her family’s involvement in environmental harm, leading to conflicts and moral dilemmas. Clues about her family connections and secret activities are gradually revealed through subtle interactions and discoveries made by other characters.

    SKYY LAR is still determining its ability to lead effectively with its new physical limitations and fears potential harm to its followers.

    CHARACTER LAYER: Hidden Agenda: SKYY LAR has a hidden agenda to infiltrate and disrupt key facilities of the Beauty Industry.

    How the layer is revealed: Throughout the pilot, subtle hints are dropped about SKYY LAR’s true intentions, such as secretive conversations with other birds and moments where it shows knowledge beyond its apparent role as a mentor.

    The coalition must now operate under the threat of constant surveillance, complicating their efforts to mobilize and act.

    SKYY LAR hides his fears and infiltrates the Beauty Company’s HQ to gather evidence to prioritize avian safety.

    The mission is fraught with danger. They identified SKYY LAR as the critical figure.

    The Beauty Industry implemented advanced measures to hide its environmentally harmful practices, making it challenging for the Rebellion to find direct evidence.

    SKYY LAR and allies stumble on hidden information through a whistleblower revealing the industry’s broader, more sinister involvement in global environmental degradation.

    Sabotage Attempts: This is an instance where the alliance’s plans are compromised, leading to failed missions and potential danger for the members. Some evidence points to internal sabotage, and Raphael’s behavior during these incidents raises doubts about his loyalty.

    The Rebellion needs concrete evidence to convince the public and authorities. SKYY LAR questions its leadership in the face of a new challenge.

    Turning Point 1:

    SKYY LAR and allies infiltrate a Beauty Industry facility and gather evidence.

    Turning Point 2:

    The Industry covered its trail, and the Rebellion uncovered the global conspiracy.

    Turning Point 3:

    SURFACE LAYER: SKYY LAR and allies uncover a global conspiracy from a whistleblower and become targets.

    LAYER: ONGOING CONSPIRACIES: The beauty industry is orchestrating a larger conspiracy involving global environmental degradation.

    Act 4: Complications Intensify: (Echoes Teaser)

    Mystery 2:

    Essence: SKYY LAR takes a much-deserved solo freedom flight over the London Eye. A Falcon, equipped with a small, almost undetectable device, ambushes SKYY LAR, and a fierce aerial battle ensues.

    Beginning:

    SKYY LAR takes a freedom flight over the London Eye. As it swoops and glides, we see both legs point backward. One leg is fitted with a prosthetic. (Back story questions: INTRIGUE: MYSTERY: What happened to the feral pigeon’s leg? What led to the injury? Why is one leg fitted with a prosthetic?)

    SKYY LAR flight is abruptly interrupted by the sudden appearance of a Falcon with an undetectable technological device. The ambush forces SKYY LAR into an intense aerial battle. Amid the chaos, the audience catches glimpses of SKYY LAR’s prosthetic leg. (Back story questions: INTRIGUE: MYSTERY: Where did the prosthetic come from? How has the prosthetic impacted SKYY LAR’s ability?

    INTRIGUE: SECRET: The audience sees more of the prosthetic leg during the battle. (The Audience speculates about the events that led to SKYY LAR’s injury and the implications of its prosthetic for the ongoing conflict.)

    INTRIGUE: WOUND: The prosthetic leg is a visual reminder of the physical and emotional wounds SKYY LAR endured. Viewers must ponder SKYY LAR’s hardships and how it persevered despite its injury.

    INTRIGUE: WOUND: (SKYY LAR’s prosthetic leg hints at a deeper layer to its character, yet to be fully revealed.)

    SKYY LAR uses the prosthetic leg to kick the Falcon’s eye.

    EMMA witnesses the ordeal from the ground.

    Turning Point 1:

    A car coming towards them hit the Falcon.

    The mission’s outcome reveals sinister aspects of the Industry’s agenda, with RAPHAEL’s loyalty and RAVEN’s intentions under intense scrutiny.

    Turning Point 2:

    The coalition’s discovery of the Beauty Industry’s cover-up operations intensifies the conflict and sets up future confrontations.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: SKYY LAR and the rebellion delve deeper into their investigation, they stumble on clues suggesting a more significant and sinister agenda behind the industry’s actions. A whistleblower or critical piece of evidence unveils the scope of the conspiracy, setting the stage for future conflicts.

    Act 5: Climactic Confrontation and Future Directions

    Essence:

    The coalition reconsiders its strategies and fortifies its resolve on the ongoing threat from the beauty industry.

    The Beauty Industry might initiate legal actions against the Rebellion members, framing them as extremists or criminals who must face arrests or legal battles, diverting the group’s focus and resources.

    Responding to these threats and complications requires resources, which might drain the Rebellion’s already limited assets, impacting its ability to operate effectively.

    Some members might advocate aggressive actions against the beauty industry, shifting from their original non-violent stance, leading to legal repercussions, public backlash, or even personal harm.

    HOW THE LAYER IS REVEALED: Suspicion arises among the rebellion members as RAPHAEL’s behavior becomes increasingly questionable. Secret meetings and clandestine activities hint at RAPHAEL’s double-agent role, creating tension and uncertainty within the group.

    Turning Point:

    Cliffhanger: Doubts about RAPHAEL’s allegiance introduce a critical moment of uncertainty, propelling the narrative into future episodes.

    Can you tell me who betrayed us?

    Lock-In:

    After SKYY LAR loses a left leg, forming and leading a birds-human alliance, shifts its role and responsibility to activism, public commitment, and action, becomes a target and venerable, psychologically transformed, committed to community and relationships, conducts a peaceful fly-past, demands action from Industry, infiltrating Beauty HQ’s facility.

    SKYY LAR feels alive again. It is doing what he does better and will continue for a very long time until death does it part on the sixth birthday.
