This narrative is inspired by the concept of "Building Life Cycle". The story presents a series of various processes of "Building Life Cycle" starting from obtaining raw materials, transforming, construction, deterioration, demolition, deconstruction, recycle, and reconstruction. In the video, "Lego" is used as a representative of building as it can perform in all processes of the life cycle of building in reality. The mixture of childhood and adulthood world will assist all audiences to easily understand the concept of Building Life Cycle.
At the beginning of the video, the real construction site with children's voice playing inside the container is presented to provoke the curiosity of the audiences. The camera follows the children's voice and closes up at the container's door. The door is opened to reveal the inside container. There will be a number of different-sized Lego representing raw building materials, as well as the Lego men which are the main characters that represent real life.
The building processes start. Lego men become alive and run the representative world inside the container. The construction of Lego acts like the construction of real building. At the beginning, the Lego construction site and real construction site are still distinguishable. The scenes are cut between these two sites. After the Lego men transport building materials and components out of the container, the two construction sites are merged into a story. The Lego men and builders cooperate as teamwork. The Lego men supply some materials and Lego components such as bricks, windows, and doors to the builders. The real materials and Lego materials are built together into the building.
As time goes by, the construction has been completed and the building gradually becomes deteriorated. There is an earthquake and the building is demolished. The building components shatter around the place. Then, the camera zooms out to reveal the truth. The container is moved away from the construction site and the real building is reconstructed. The scenes come back to the Lego world again and end with reconstruction of the building by recycling building materials and components. The themes of “Lego Life Cycle” and “Building Life Cycle” are merged together harmoniously at the end.
