Cloud close up

Camera pulls out slow

Full cloud now in shot (moonlight)

Cloud moves right to left

Cut to wider shot of birthing tree, almost all of it in shot

Camera pulls out to reveal all of tree and some of hill top

Cloud move slowly across to over tree

Cloud grows slightly and goes darker

Cloud starts to rain on tree, slowly at first then heavier

The two buds/pods on the tree begin to grow and swell in size

They blossom and start to flower

They open, and the two Galuppis, one male one female, roll out and down the trunk

They stretch and limber and look at each other

They smile

The male leans towards the female

The female begins to do the same

The female then pushes the males face in the mud and runs of giggling to past the camera right.

The male looks up shocked

His look then changes to a smile.

He then chases after her, past camera left and over
