Spores
are falling on the ground, spawning amoebas that erupt from behind every rock/
plant.
An
overall feeling of happiness and plenty is communicated through the visuals and
the music. The different stages of the development of the slime mold are shown
through camera movements. The camera zooms in on the amoeba characters, showing
that they are eating but soon enough starvation strikes with the drop of the
last autumn leaf. The amoebas can’t find food which triggers their instinct to
survive through change, communicated by the loss of their eye colour, making
the pupil appear white. The amoebas huddle together producing a strong sphere of
light . When the light disperses it reveals the feeding plasmodium – the next
stage of the development of the slime mold. At the last stage the feeding
plasmodium huddles together one last time creating the fruiting body. The
animation ends with the fruiting body exhaling spores into the air, repeating
the cycle with which “Transform” started.
