draftLehi's Vision of the Tree of Life
Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life (1 Nephi 8; imagery also 1 Nephi 11)
Look & feel: Photoreal cinematic and reverent, with a dreamlike luminous quality fitting a symbolic vision (not cartoon). Moves from cold dark blue wilderness and grey mist into warm radiant white-gold at the tree. People in simple ancient robes; the mockers in fine ornate ancient finery. The great-and-spacious building glows with cold artificial light, floating in the air across the river. Slow, drifting, reverent camera. 16:9.
