Boom-de-yadda

Anyone watch the Discovery Channel? Lately they've been running this great commercial for itself. I'm thinking that someone, not me since I couldn't make a demo if I tried, could take the song of this video and make a great CoX demo. Here are the lyrics, with some ideas of mine in parentheses. If anyone makes this, I'm dying to see it!

"It never gets old, does it?"
"Nope."
"It kinda makes you wanna..."
"...Break into song...?"
"Yep."

I love the mountains (show Eden spire or Mount Diable)
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges (Independence Port)
I love when great whites fly (Spirit Shark power)
I love the whole world (Atlas)
And all its sights and sounds (panning down to a costume contest)

I love the oceans
I love real dirty things (Vahz in sewers)
I love to go fast (Super Speed)
I love Egyptian kings
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
boom-de-yadda
boom-de-yadda
boom-de-yadda
boom-de-yadda
I love tornadoes (Water Spout)
I love arachnids (all sorts of Arachnos possibilities)
I love hot magma! (Minions of Igneous)
I love the giant squids (Lusca)
I love the whole world
It's such a brilliant place

"I love the clear blue skies" (Shot of generic-flying character zipping through an open Zone)

"It's such a brilliant place" (A few characters standing around twirling their Rubiks about)

Also, Each single, 1-second "Boom-de-yadda" can be another snippet of a different group of baddies getting hammered by various killer-blows, knockbacks, body-slams, foot-stomps, Blaster-shots with particle-effects... etc.

For Hot Magma, shouldn't it show one of those badge hoes standing in magma and spamming heals?

What do I think? I think you people need to stay out of my head, it's busy enough in there as it is!

The very second I heard this commercial I thought it would make an awesome demo. Even more awesome points if it's made as a big collaboration dealio like Mrs. Abyss's "all star" video.

I love that commercial, and would love to see someone do a CoH take on it.

Gah! That song is so dang catchy! I left it after I watched it and then I immediately went back to it! Curse you catchy songs!

Now that I finished my i12 trailer, I'll get to work on this this weekend after I finish finals. Shouldn't take too long

It's so funny this hsould be brought up. I've been watching Discovering Channel a bit myself, and that commercial's song is stuck in my head.

I wouldn't make every boom-de-yada a nuke. The Discovery Channel video has people dancing and the like - maybe the first round of yada's can be dance emotes in beat with the song. I think the nukes would make a better finale.

Song stuck in your head? You should know how to fix that. (Thank goodness, a version without 'subtitles' and those silly pictures.)

LOL, nice. Damn, that was fast. I won't have mine ready until this weekend after I finish finals.

Falling Granite + that magma guy = awesome vid.

Edit: The Tornado shot was perfect, too!

Wow, great stuff! Will we be able to download it from w00t studios?


 

Posted

Haha, very nice. The tornado one was great.

Hey Ash. I started it, but didn't quite finish it since I started up my 3D Content class this month and had to make some models in Maya and some levels in UT2004 that took freaking forever. I have summer break next week, so for sure I'll finish it then
