Week 05 | 10/06/2022

Our group meeting and discussion started deep and philosophical — by talking about human beings’ existence, the meaning of universe and life. It’s always a topic that, personally, makes me feel I am tiny and worthless. I triple majored in astronomy, physics and mathematics many years ago, and then switched to architecture. One of the reasons why I switched is that I did not want to constantly think about those philosophical questions. Anyways, our discussion went for two hours, and our plan was constantly changing. It was a great meeting.

We decided to make two stories, both based on the life of two coffee beans. The reason why coffee beans were chosen is complicated, it is probably the best solution after our 120-minute conversation — we are trying to make the stories fun, serious, and worth thinking and rethinking.

Each story will be able to loop itself. However, the fun part is, these two stories can become one longer story if they are combined.

Story I:

  1. the park scene — peaceful and quite

  2. a coffee beans walks towards the bench and sits on it

  3. the bean starts crying because he/she/it feels alone

  4. another bean comes and joins the first bean

  5. they fall in love

  6. they leave together and plan to grab something to drink - back to the park scene

Story II:

  1. the coffee shop scene

  2. the beans arrive the coffee shop

  3. coffees are served

  4. they start drinking coffee

  5. they realized how coffee is made

  6. they are shocked

  7. they faint

  8. coffee cups are thrown

  9. back to the coffee shop scene
