    Very Simple but Quite Poignant
    The premise here is quite simple. Begin by focusing on a boy in a boat with his dog. Now pan back. Keep moving until you have slipped the bonds of earth and moved farther and farther away, until you reach a sort of vast nothingness. Now, return to that figure and go into the micro-universe, moving toward the atomic world. This is something we all think about as we recognize a universe we can't truly understand or fathom. Well done. Should appeal to children as a talking point.
