Trailer text
This movie begins with a story [“Once upon a time…”]
A story that starts at the dawn of time [powers of 10]
When infinitely small particles [powers of 10]
Assembled themselves to build the primitive forms of life. [powers of 10]
Microorganisms collaborated [microscopic life]
And invented entire civilizations of cells living together as single bodies [cells together]
Giving birth to vegetal [plant] and animal life [animal].
Then plants and animals built their own societies,
Leading to entire ecosystems composed of billions of beings living together [savana Serengeti]
Trees and plants, forests [camera following a tree down to the ground in forest],
Flocks [flock of birds], schools [school of fish], colonies [ants], herds [herds], families [lions], clans [monkeys]…
From the very small [amoebia] to the very big [whale].
Enter the late comers: humans. [human shape]
They organized themselves in small groups, villages, tribes, [village in native population]
And later built entire civilizations of their own,
From ancient Egypt [Ancient Egypt]
To current modern superpowers [NYC]
So far, big organizations could only exist in pyramidal and centralized forms [pyramidal CI]
Nations [flags], companies [brands], religions [symbols], administrations [building], armies [parade]…
Pyramidal collective intelligence has accomplished great things, [Eiffel Tower, Intl space station]
However power remains concentrated in the hands of a few [fast series of power people along history]
Which keeps society trapped in a paradigm that doesn’t work anymore. [series of photos]
Does the story end here?
No.
Human collective intelligence evolves [interconnected world]
People invent new collectives, [logos social networks]
distributed and decentralized, peer-to-peer, self-regulated [holomidal CI chart]
Local and global [zoom out from Earth],
Where everyone can co-create [Minecraft], contribute [kick starter], innovate [Thingiverse], make decisions [Loomio],
In a collaborative economy [Image collaborative economy].
This movie will explore how humanity reinvents itself, [“We are the 99%”]
And how social engineering, coordinated by communityware, [OS software logos]
has become the most efficient way to co-create the future. [creative commons]
From energy [smartgrid] to arts [3D printed art],
From science [zooniverse] to production [3D printers],
From education [MOOCs] to food [CSA],
A new human society redesigns itself. [transition pyramidal to holomidal chart].
We will share the story of collective intelligence [ants inside letters]
We will see how the I plays in the We [zoom out from pixels or parts]
And how the We plays in the I [leading to a face]
The way a collective designs itself
determines the way it sees reality,
and the way it innovates. [summary of differents forms of CI + pictures]
The New Republics
Humanity reinvents itself
