creation video

i'm making a video about creation - not creation as in the great outdoors - not creation as in creationism - the poetic nature of creation.

anyway, i'm hung up on man. we're using Neal's hands in dirt for the forming part and we found a cool picture for man coming to life, but i don't have a clue how to do the breath part.

ideas?

Close up of a glass aquarium filled with water so all you can see is the water. Have a guy hold a mouthful of milk in his mouth. Then show a closeup of a guy's lips slowly going into the water and blowing the milk out through his lips. Milk in water has a slow dreamlike quality of clouds forming, swirling out like smoke in air, drifting. I saw photos of this that Salvadore Dali did and it's beautiful.

It also helps that milk flowing through water looks kinda like sperm-to add to the idea of creation.
