I was inspired by a fun idea and a popular meme online; “meanwhile in an alternate dimension”. So in an alternate dimension sharpies are people and people are sharpies. To incorporate this idea I thought of having a video or picture of people on the street who are leaving a trail in the footsteps where they walk. A particular man is in a sulking, grey, unfortunate mood. He has been through the ringer as an artist as a writer. Non of the publishers will take his manuscript. After this event when he walks he leaves a pencil trail which is quickly faded and dispersed by the walking trail of others. This is a metaphor for the idea that his confidence is so low there is no way he can leave a permanent mark on the world. He visits publisher after publisher and gets emails only saying “we’ll let you know”. Non of which are very promising. So finally, he sits down in a park and receives a phone call. Not knowing what he heard, all we see is him running into a building and to a desk where he is handed his manuscript with green sharpie edits scribbled all over but a large approved sign to publish the first 500 copies. His face lights up and when he exits, gripping both his novel and the sharpie his trail now is solid green for his confidence, prosperity, hard work, and dedication gets permanently make his mark.
