A scene breakdown for Boxin.

There were many influences for the scenes, however I’ll list the titles:

• Mistaken identity
• Off your trolley
• Tickling for control. You can only push people so far. We all have a comfort zone.
• Inside your head (Hoods)
• The Bewildered Herd, the hypnosis, controlled by the rhythm
• The See-Saw. Walking on shaky ground
• The Party. The Promise of Abundance
• Boxed In.
• The Chaos. The result of the confusion.
• The Slippery Slope. Charles is losing control
• Tunnel Vision
• Testing the Water
• Solitude. Colour Blindness
• The Awakening
• The sunbed interview – Colour without the culture. Hey my tan makes me look healthy
• Human Parkour. The Twisted Collision
• Siamese crocodiles. Why fight over food when they share the same stomach.
• Charles, Nature or Nurture.
• Carousel of happy families
• The consuming hatred. Let go of what is eating you
• The Turmoil. Go or Stay
• Get Over the Barriers,
• The Hidden Destruction
• Linkage. Pulling it back together
• Breakin’ (breakdancing) and contact. Charles cuts himself off
• Pen is mightier than the sword
• Washing. It’s a New Dawn, a New Day
