We open on people viewing Friedrich’s Northern Landscape, Spring on the wall
The figures subtly animate and come to life, the dialogue volume increases, and the painting fades to real landscape
The dialogue continues as the camera slowly reverses its zoom and the figures begin to walk

Camera moves toward the painting, slowly zooming in on the two distant figures
Now in the Bonneville Salt Flats, the figures are unexpectedly holding a satellite GPS phone
The live action scene fades back into the painting, but with the painted figures animated and continuing to walk as the dialogue fades

The zoom continues, closing in on the two small figures as we hear faint dialogue getting louder (sample dialogue at bottom of page)
Reverse angle, facing the two men as they study the GPS service and pick a direction
The reverse zoom continues until we are back in the gallery with the painting, but the painting is now subtly altered to show the two figures walking to the right
Sample dialogue:
“...this is Bodnick’s latest Super Kiowa Carbon recurve hiking staff. Demo model, not in stores yet….best money can buy imho…”
“Yeah, that’s substantial, but I’ve come correct with a hand carved mountain ash walking spear, reinforced with a bison horn grip!”
“Tight! Hey, where are we anyways?”
“I’m not sure, pass me the Garmin SatCom…”
“See our 20?”
“I think we need to go this way…”
