DAY 341: Edit some of your older material.

Here is an edited scene from a pilot I’m developing about the HR recruiting world. Fuk format!

INT - MANUFACTURING FACILITY - DAY

HOT SALES GIRL (25) walks into plant. Pan from left to right with all those different boxes across the screen popping up 2 at a time until whole screen is filled w/ 8 boxes (so the screen begins black and lights up as she walks past…each box represents another disaster from MALE WORKERS watching her walk through.)

BOX 1: Guy on towmotor crashing into wall.

BOX 2: Welders lifting hat up and welding sparks getting on face and eyes.

BOX 3: Guy dropping heavy hand tool on foot and wearing no steel toes—-make it known that the company doesn’t provide steel toes or hard hats due to expenses cutbacks.

BOX 4/BOX 5: Guy drops box from top area and it falls on Guy below who isn’t wearing hard hat.

BOX 6: Guy turning blue because of material handling chemicals, because he took off his respirator mask to see lady.

BOX 7: Guy falling off ladder.

BOX 8: 2 Guys running into each other and papers going everywhere.

CUT TO:

INT. BOSS’ OFFICE

Hot Sales Girl is meeting with BOSS (55). Hot Sales Girl is blabbing and cue his narrative in his mind of what he’s thinking.

Boss: Man, I wanna get some of that.

Closeup of upper sweating lip and eyebrows. He puckers and licks his lips; tugs his balls; rubs his sweat off; starts bobbing his head; grinding teeth and then more grinding teeth; starts making donkey noises out loud.

FIREMAN (45) enters room and extinguishes him off, hosing him off with extinguisher foam.

DAY 12: Try rewriting a comedy idea you wrote for one genre into another genre.

Today’s task is a doozy (I love saying that term…it’s like saying “he’s such a ham”).  Anyway,  the genre I initially created this bit for was standup comedy.  However, I think I will attempt to make this a 30 second radio voiceover trailer.  The bit mocks “Prison Break” coming to DVD.  For those who don’t know, Prison Break is a shitstorm of a show that I never got into.  Here is the bit below.  If you listen to the audio that’s attached to this posting, you will hear my attempt to make it a funny commercial ad spoof.

PRISON BREAK: So this Christmas, my sister-in-law wanted the Prison Break DVD.  You guys remember Prison Break, right?  I mean it was a show…….about BREAKING…. outta prison.  Shouldn’t this be over by now?  Doesn’t a prison break only take a day.  What, so I’m supposed to see everything leadin up to the “big night”. Who gives a shit about what some asshole criminal did to break outta jail.  I’m sure its not much different from the usual ‘mixed-up cops’ and a SHANKING.  How much can they actually show?  (TRAILER GUY’S VOICE) “1st, they found something to dig with…then they dug…then, they, dug even more.  Now, stay tuned for the season finale where they…catch a cab.” And the fact it took ya a whole season must’ve meant it wasn’t a very good plan.  I mean let’s do a show where at least I’m breaking outta something more interesting like my Columbia Record House contract.
