response to Alison's black box idea

I think thats definitely cool concept. I like the idea of this being very small and claustrophobic inside and of course dark! although I'm biased towards things that tend to be dark, as you know. I think the idea of flashing images very fast would definetely be more successful than just showing these images of "life" being created or beginning. The danger is that it can be too obvious. the baby giggling strikes me. or even crying, cause babies cry when they come out of the womb. perhaps there is whispers of wind, followed by tornadoesque wind the abruptly interrrupted by a loud cry from a baby. almost these story of us being born of The Spirit/wind and being born as children of God. Even little children. Jesus says we are to be converted and become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven and whoever humbles themself as a little child will be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. so the baby crying - loudly I believe - can be a very powerful tool and brings much "wow" factor and interaction with the viewer. Lets face it, we are trying to leave a "mark" on the viewer and perhaps change their perspective or even enhance their view on the theme of regeneration.
