Story about the Box Man

The Box Man

This is a story about a man who wants to get away from his inner limitations that appear to be symmetrical lines and quares in his real, visible life. Finally he discovers that all limitations are just the projections of his mind and he can consciously take them away and let the nature be the guide. In this way he learns to dream. By dreaming we get "out of the box" and discover new realities, so many new possibilities arrise, as well as the creative energy in ourselves. 

The man in this story lives a depressed life in the beginning (on the story board picture 1-4) but very suddenly he notices that everything is just about the perspective of seeing and interpreting the reality (picture 4-5). In the end he decides to "open his mind" (picture 5) and then, by seeing through his mind and thoughts, he sees the possibility for another options and ways of living, more open and free than the ones he has experienced before in his life (picture 6). The world has now another and more clear meaning.

This can surely be a longer story than on the story board, but here we can see some main points of the story. Comic strip can be made into a short film or animation, having a bit humorous, as well as philosophical feeling inside. So called "box man" or main character transforms during the story into a more free and self confident person.       

The story board: starting from a general view to apartment, then moving to a window and man. Then we see the man´s point of view and his eye behind the paper box, while opening its little hole and peeking outside, finally taking the box away from his head and looking it from outside view.
