well heres a rough blocking representation of my concept ..ill be posting my beirf along with this as well..Lemme Know what yall think :-)

[guruv]

So think bout this ..u wake up one day think bout the same old routine

you have to go through all day
(you know ..gettin to work on time, meetings, deadlines, client

briefings, project execution
, a table tennis game, mebe even a virtual multiplayer battle

game..etc).. and then you ask yourself .."is this what i was born for,

theres deffinately more to life than this
" ..and so you decide to do something spectacular, something thatll

make you appreciate life even more ..and so go shark diving
in order to conquere your existing fear of deep sea diving..and the

next thing you know is your in some coast in Austrailia staring at

chum(a very punjent mixture of dead fish
shrimp,all mixed up to attract great white sharks) clad water ..and

then in bout a few minutes you start to see some sails headin towards

the boat ur on
..only later to realise that those were actual great white dorsal fins

headin ur direction ...just when your bitting your nails at the sheer

savage
and gut wrenching scene that you see in the waters below, they lower

"THE CAGE"..your thinkin "mebe this was a bad idea" ..the spandex like

swim suit your wearin
suddenly starts freezin ..the cage now lowered is waiting for your

company just as your confirming the strength and durability of the

steel used
to make that cage with the captain....once comforted you enter the cage

wishing you had taken those swimming classes during school..inside you

finally get
what you have been waiting for
..out in the distance you notice the sillouhette of the beast ..who

could ever miss that tail fin ...and that sheer size itself defines a

cold hearted killer..and somewhere between admiring the sharks and

taking pictures with your camera u notice the cage sinking ..the chains

snapped!!...ur hearts pounding by now ..youve sunk to the bottom of the

sea bed surrounded by the most successful killing machine in the

planet..what would u do?
