Premise

The film opens with a juggler juggling a pack of shapes and showing the computer animation film the shapes and objects around the scene. As the version included in the DVDs and Blu-rays bonus material is taken straight from one of the company's demo reels, a Mercedes-Benz logo is seen inside the green ball, which was not in the original short film. The film ends with the juggler vanishing the scene.
