On a delightful, yet uneventful summer day Trent rides his bike through the park on his way to the store. Thrown from the seat of his bike, because of the uneven sidewalk, he lands face down on the ground. As fate would have it, he comes across an old piece of cardboard partially protruding from the ground. He picks it up. It is an antique baseball card. Physically there is no significant value to this card. He examines the card. There is something familiar about this card, however. He then proceeds to secure it into the spokes of his bike, to operate as a noise-making device. Trent continues on his destination.
As he rides off, the spinning motion from the wheel with the card attached begins to animate like a Zoetrope. The card unlocks a dream-like gateway to fond old memories. These are the memories of the card, and how it use to entertain its previous owner. But gradually over time they grow distant between one another.
The interest to this card fades as the previous owner matures and finds a new interest, girls. Rejected now, the card falls to the wayside and remains unnoticed until Trent discovers it.
Back on the bike, Trent and the card continue on their destination.
Thesis statement: Digital compositing creates the perception of something that could have happened, although it really could not.
