*ROFL* OH MY GODS Michelle. Too darn priceless!
Now you have me contemplating the universe sucking in awesomeness of You, Black Pebble and Leandro working together on a project
I love the last one! All are great ideas though!
The last one is just pure win! Although, I am a huge fan of number 3 as well. Now I am sad these will never come to fruition.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
ROFL!!! I absolutely LOVE that last one!

My 50s:
Tigra Swipe (BS/SR/Dark Scrapper)
Galena Storm (Emp/Ele/Ele Defender)
Master Tolarin (Psi/Fire/Force Blaster)
That is funny funny funny, and that is something I totally won't mind seeing before a movie.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

Leandro and Black Pebble are far better at the code scripting stuff for demorecord than I could ever be. I just come up with the weird ideas. |

I don't know... a Kickstarter for these might not be a bad idea. But then I'd need to figure out how much it'd cost to get all the gear needed for location shoots, plus permits for the locations, etc etc etc...

The last one is good, but I'm sorry to be the wet blanket who thinks they're all too in-jokey to play as real ads.

Actually I think at that point when the man walks over to the table and the camera changes when they all turn to look at him, have it go from live action to Pocket D with all the women in costume while the man is in similar clothes to the live action portion.

Michelle, if you ever do "I AM...", I volunteer for Brute duty.
Love these. Make them. Please?

/"not until you're 26"... hilarious!
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

That one was my favorite by far!

These are the scripts for the ads I always wanted to make for TV, or to show in movie theatres before the previews start, etc. If I had the equipment and the money, I'd have done it in a heartbeat - they're fairly low budget as far as 'sets' or whatever goes, but I wanted to shoot good quality footage (rather than just busting out a smartphone with a video camera or whatever).
[scene - a shot of an interior garage door leading from the house to the garage. A woman approaches it, tries it, finds it locked.]
Wife: Honey?!
[from off camera comes loud pounding sounds with a hammer and general noisemaking]
Wife (raising her voice): Come on, you promised you'd help with the chores!
[noises continue]
Wife: There's so much to do! You said you'd help me put up the shelves in the bedroom-
[noises continue]
Wife: And the lawn still has to be mowed!
[noises continue]
Wife: And we still need to go food shopping before my mother gets here tomorrow!
[noises now include a power drill or something louder]
[the wife slumps in dejection]
Wife: Fine...
[she turns away, and as she does so...]
Wife (in a lower volume): So much for getting the Statesman Task Force done tonight.
[wife turns and walks out of shot]
[beat as the noise abruptly stops]
[another beat]
[then the garage door practically FLIES open as the husband lunges through it and nearly trips on the doorjamb chasing his wife]
[cut to logo]
[scene - empty classroom/conference room place, with chairs all in a circle, table with punch and cookies, big whiteboard, motivational posters, etc. At least a dozen people sit in the circle.]
[one stands]
John: Um, hi... my name is John, and... I'm an altaholic.
[everyone nods and murmurs sympathetically]
John: I didn't mean for it to happen! It's just... I try and focus, I really do, and then... then... it just... they come out with something new and I have to try it!
[people nod and look understanding]
RC as Moderator: We know, and we're proud that you've taken the step to join us. We all know what you've been going through.
Jeremy: Oh, man, remember when they made Shields available?
DeAnna: Or Pain Domination?
Rob: Dual Blades.
[EVERYONE groans and nods]
RC: So we understand. And we'll help you away from the idea that 'more is better'...
[shots of people looking sympathetic]
RC (voiceover): Little by little, you'll find yourself focusing more on the characters that truly have meaning for you.
[behind them, the door FLIES open, practically banging off its hinges]
Alisa (practically gasping): HOLY CRAP! GOING ROGUE is gonna have Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols!
[beat as everyone in the room looks at each other]
[then mass chaos as everyone leaps to their feet and dashes out the door... except John]
John: *single sob* I knew it...
[John slowly shuffles out]
[cut to logo]
[scene - empty white space, featuring closeups of various people from all walks of life]
John: I'm a Dominator.
RC: Blaster.
Chris: Stalker.
DeAnna: Defender.
Rob: Corruptor.
Me: Controller.
Jeremy: Tank.
Someone else: Brute.
Alisa: Peacebringer.
Someone else: Warshade.
Someone else: Crab Spider.
Someone else: Fortunata.
Someone else: Scrapper.
Young kid: Mastermind!
[cut to everyone in front of the white screen in a line on either side of the kid, looking at him/her]
Kid: What?
[cut to logo]
[back to the line]
Alisa: Whose kid is that?
[someone else sheepishly raises their hand]
Jeremy: Oh, big shock there.
[back to the logo]
Kid (voiceover): Mommy, I want a Lich...
Woman's voice: Not until you're 26, dear.
[scene - the food court of a mall. A group of women are sitting around talking - you only ever see them from about the collarbone up.]
Woman #1: He did it AGAIN! He PROMISED me he wouldn't!
Woman #2: You're surprised?
Woman #3: I'm not...
Woman #1: He ditched me... to do Katie Hannon?
Woman #4: Hey, when everyone else does her... it's hard not to wanna join in.
Woman #2: Oh, that's nothing... my husband's given up on Fitness entirely.
[all gasp]
Woman #3: NO!
Woman #4: Doesn't he worry about his health?
Woman #2: Oh, he says health is important, but he thinks stamina is waaay overrated.
Woman #1: How does he expect to last?
Woman #2: Seems he expects me to wait while he rests...
Woman #4: God, that's rude.
Woman #3: And now my husband has caught the 'faster is better' fever... everything is speed, speed, speed. No more taking it slow.
Woman #2: But you can miss so much that way!
Woman #3: Yeah, well, he says that when you've done it all before, no reason to take your time.
Woman #1: But then it's just a grind!
Woman #3: That's what I told him.
Woman #4: And I just found out last night... my husband announced that he expects me to get new-
[makes the quotes sign in the air]
Woman #4: "enhancements."
Woman #2: Again?! Didn't you just go through all that like a month ago?
Woman #4: He says they're not as good as they used to be.
Woman #3: But you spent a fortune!
Woman #1: Although the new ones are actually kinda impressive...
Woman #2: Wait, you mean you already...
Woman #1: Yeah... don't tell him, he'll have a fit.
[at this point, a guy walks over to their table]
Man: Don't you women have anything better to do than talk about sex?
[they all look at him like he's insane]
Woman #2: Who's talking about sex?
[the shot moves back to show all of the women are wearing CITY OF HEROES t-shirts]
[they all point to their chests]
Woman #4: See these? Real women, right here, buddy.
[he looks like he's praying for the floor to open up beneath him]
[cut to logo]
Woman #3 (voiceover): Typical guy... they just never understand what we're talking about.
