Was offered a chance to direct a commercial...

That's sounds like a really cool idea, do you know what ballpark of cash you'd be working with? I really like the idea - especially the zombie part, natch.

[DjfunkmasterG]

My Budget is $300-$600 tops. I am going to plan this out, so it is executed perfectly, but the theater owner likes the idea, so thats a plus.

dude totally do it, i think you should do a comedy type vid, like mega 64 style, get someone (heres lookin' at you lou) to act out in 30 seconds every genre of film in the street, saves money, its memorable and might get a laugh.

I really love the whole concept you have. I can just imagine swiping crane shots and dolly rolls down the hall as maybe the couple come rushing out of one of the theater doors, whip around the couple as zombies flood in after them, ignoring the couple as they continue to walk, looking over their shoulder and back at each other. Anyway, once this is done, would you be able to post it on something like Youtube for us to see? Dawg

[DjfunkmasterG]

Oh totally I would post it. He wants to shoot it in two weeks, I said that is a tad too fast but I am aiming for the 1st weekend of June.

This is sounding like a really good idea. Deej, y'know, I don't know any McClane look-alikes, but I do know someone who looks exactly like Brad Pitt. The Mr. & Mrs. Smith-era Brad Pitt (short hair). Dunno if that would help. i think you should do a comedy type vid, like mega 64 style, get someone (heres lookin' at you lou) to act out in 30 seconds every genre of film in the street, saves money, its memorable and might get a laugh. ME?! Anything with my acting involved instantly becomes a comedy by default.

I have just finished two scripts for the commercial. Script # 1 "HAGERSTOWN 10 CINEPLEX COMMERCIAL - Zombies" Script # 2 "HAGERSTOWN 10 CINEPLEX COMMERCIAL - Action" I emailed them to the theater owner, and am waiting to hear back.

[MinionZombie]

*fingers cross for zombies* Either will rock cock though. Can't wait to see it.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Actually we are doing three scripted commercials and one safe bet commercial. Script for Commercial # 1: EXT – HAGERSTOWN 10 NEON Logo The camera cranes down from the logo to see the main walkway that leads to the box office. EXT – WALKWAY TO BOX OFFICE The camera will dolly in slow to see a couple approaching the box office. C/U Tickets printing from the system, we see the price on each ticket of $7.00 EXT- BOX OFFICE The couple is thanked by the box office CSR and the couple walks into the theater. CUT INT- MAIN LOBBY We see the couple walking with a bucket of popcorn, soda, and candy. Faint screams are heard coming from theater # 2. CUT The camera cranes down from the marquee that shows 28 weeks later is on the marquee, then the camera slowly zooms towards the 2 sets of doors to theater 2. Making sure the SDDS sign is in full view. We hear more faint screams grow louder. CUT The couple stops in the lobby about 15 feet from the doors. Suddenly BAM the doors burst open with running screaming people. We see zombies of the 28 Weeks Later variety running after them. CUT The couple runs to another theater and sits down to catch their breath. Suddenly the room gets bright and sitting behind them is a Psycho in a hockey mask. We see their frightened look. HAGERSTOWN 10 LOGO fills the screen Bringing Movies to Life with Digital Projection and Sound. Script # 2 - ACTION EXT – HAGERSTOWN 10 NEON Logo The camera cranes down from the logo to see the main walkway that leads to the box office. EXT – WALKWAY TO BOX OFFICE The camera will dolly in slow to see a couple approaching the box office. C/U Tickets printing from the system, we see the price on each ticket of $7.00 EXT- BOX OFFICE The couple is thanked by the box office CSR and the couple walks into the theater. CUT INT- MAIN LOBBY The couple walks into the lobby and a Harry Potter look alike appears in front of them welcoming them to the theater. He takes their tickets. CUT The couple walks up to the concession stand and suddenly they hear swords clanging. They look towards the theater #2 and a sword fight is happening between two pirates CUT They are served Popcorn Candy and Soda, and they begin walking down the corridor towards theaters 3-10. Suddenly Theater 6’s door’s burst open and two guys come out firing guns at each other. The couple ducks down against the wall, and a guy dressed in Military gear settles in next to them. Military Guy What are you fine folks going to see? The Man Live Free or Die Hard Military My kind of film… Follow me. They all get up and make a run for the theater. We see the couple sit down, and the H-10 Logo appears with the tagline “bringing Movies to Life with Digital Projection and Sound.”

Bad News today... The Commercial shoot has been canceled.

[MinionZombie]

Bummer. Is that just today's shoot, or no commercials at all?

[DjfunkmasterG]

I won't be doing them. I found out from my friend, the projectionist. That the owner hooked up with someone willing to do them for free. I don't mind that but the guy never called me to tell me that, I had to find out second hand. So I did call him and explain to him that I understand if you can get someone to do it for free, no problem (I was doing it for $250.00), but if you change something, call me don't leave me in the dark. I will be more mad being kept in the dark. I had a lot of great ideas and managed to put together a nice size crew to shoot these, tis a shame.

[MinionZombie]

Dude that's well lame.

[DjfunkmasterG]

No sweat off my nutsack. I just won't ever work with him again because of that.

[PJoseph]

Wtf?!?!?
