150 Word Story- Refined and Final

The protagonist in this narrative is a box. This young box is going to grow up to be part of the built environment. Throughout the video he seeks inspiration for his own form when he grows up, and we see him grow up as the music video progresses.
The music video will be comparing the element of architecture to the final structure, and the bring up the idea of the architectural machine in the way that the architectural element itself "decides" how it will/"wants to" look. The block will grow in size and the goals will get more elaborate as the story goes on, and the video brings up the idea of the "machine" having opinions and a personality, referencing society's interest in the technology of robotics in life, and the relationship between the two.
The song used is called Radar Detector, which in literal terms is an electronic device that detects whether a driver's speed is being monitored by police using a radar gun. This relates to the concept of the music video through the idea of the viewer monitoring how this box goes through his life, and the speed at which the box makes decisions about his life as an architectural machine.
