PANEL 1 Night. A small one-person yacht, seen from a distance, empty sea and sky all around. The angle should allow us to see there’s someone lying on the deck, illuminated by a lamp. TITLE: Above/Below Art: Steve Pugh Script: Dan Whitehead Letters: Jim Campbell CAPTION: There is a unique spot… PANEL 2 A birds eye view of the person lying on the deck. It’s a young woman, looking directly up at us, wistful. We shouldn’t be too high – we need to be able to see that there’s a framed picture lying next to her – it shows the woman with another woman, her partner, happy, hugging, smiling for the camera. Next to the photo are some binoculars. CAPTION: Way out in the south east Pacific. PANEL 3 Reverse angle now, looking up with the yacht in frame at the starry sky above. If the angle allows us to see the woman, now looking straight up through the binoculars, even better. A particularly bright “star” draws our eye. CAPTION: 48°52.5′S CAPTION: 123°23.6′W CAPTION: If you want to be exact. PANEL 4 We’re in Earth’s orbit now. The International Space Station floats in the blackness, echoing the yacht from the first panel. CAPTION: They call it Point Nemo. CAPTION: The oceanic pole of inaccessibility. PANEL 5 We’re inside the ISS now. A young woman, the one from the photo, the partner of Yacht Girl, is floating inside, wearing a jumpsuit. She also looks wistful, but perhaps a hint of a smile. CAPTION: It is the place on Earth that is furthest from land. CAPTION: From other people. PANEL 6 Looking from behind her now, the ISS woman looks down at the Earth from the Cupola window on the ISS. CAPTION: So remote that if you time it just right… CAPTION: The closest human being is 200 miles straight up. PANEL 7 A split panel, with both women – looking up and looking down respectively - now smiling, maybe a tear or two – as their faces are brought close together by pure comics magic. CAPTION: And all the distance in the world no longer matters.
