write script for Animals trailer episode

[CIEspost]

see here link to episode format https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1saNmVXKBFeoQkK8oTsSVurfElvVBWmcaw7ed12XODSc/edit#gid=0

now we need to create script specifically for episode 1 (pilot)

[CIEspost]

we are not going to write dialogue for this as we discussed

[CIEspost]

ok, i have decided that we must use Josh who knows sound and is funny and reliable

[CIEspost]

Oh and Josh will have to write some improv script, perhaps, I think we will jsut give him a clear idea and examples of what we want the series to be like, i other words see it as colaboration and artist working together

[CIEspost]

so from here we need to jsut get videos ready for josh to see so that he can add voices to animals

[CIEspost]

@zacck Josh will have write some dialogue for the squirrel video we chose to use (the pilot eposide). perhaps, I think we will just give him a clear idea and examples of what we want the series to be like, in other words see it as collaboration type thing? Cause he needs to do the sound too, as in the music, so maybe we ask him to think of both as he does the dialogue for the squirrel cause he might just really like to be That in control of the music if he ends up writing the dialogue? What do you think?

The only problem I cant get my head around right now is how to communicate the idea to Josh, because there is a lot of technical things that limit the script, I need to mention this to him too...

Hmmm, I just need some help as to how to structure all this information so that the idea and tasks translate clearly to Josh, cause we must try and get this going while we are on the rode and we might need way more airtime....?

Your thoughts? Can we skype with Josh too?

But first please tell me what you think about the info overload issue

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost this is cool lets decide on the time to call Josh likely tomorrow morning so we can talk to hom and make the necessary plans for the work

[CIEspost]

@ApheleleM how does "dont be hungry, its hapihour" sound for the slogan?

[ApheleleM]

how about starve instead of Hungry ? "Don't Starve its Hapihour"

[CIEspost]

Spoke to Josh in Joburg, he needs us to send him the edited 1.30min so that he can jsut add narration

[CIEspost]

@ApheleleM the script is good as it is so far. We are going to report back and make changes if necessary after we get the narration from Josh because the pilot episode is part of the development for the script

[CIEspost]

Change script once decided on exact narration for ep 1

[CIEspost]

This issue will be done if we are done with the trailer, and we are still waiting on Josh to have time to finish the narration @zacck lets speak to Josh this week and here when he has time to do this plz

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost will speak to him today as he had said he needed the week to finish the work. I suspect he is feeling frustrated because we take so long to get back to him we should likely work on our response times. Projects often fail because momentum is lost let's not lose it on this one. I feel I know how Josh works he rarely gets engaged in things if his time isn't valued.

[CIEspost]

@zacck ok, please help me with this as you know Josh well and you know me, so I feel it woudl be great if you can keep an eye on this and make sure we do things as you would imagine it best

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost I spoke to Josh he has a show today and he will be travelling till tomorrow. So he will only be able to start working on the things then I suggest we organise references and all the information he might need in an easy way and send it to him.

[CIEspost]

@zacck this is what i last sent Josh, please have a look and let me know what I shoudl elaborate on if its unclear, or if im missing out any crucial info needed to steer the voice over in the right direction

[19:02, 8/7/2017] +27 83 480 9771: hey check here, Ive edited the words around a bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo4HUSoKLAk&feature=youtu.be
[19:03, 8/7/2017] +27 83 480 9771: must we send this file to you rather?
[19:08, 8/7/2017] +27 83 480 9771: sent it to you on email too
[19:39, 8/7/2017] +27 83 480 9771: Cool so firstly thanks so much for the awesome narration! We are so excited, its really getting close and looking awesome, now its just for the final push 👊✨ let us know when you have time to speak then we will call. But basically the idea is that with the videowe sent via mail you will hear that we changed the words around a bit so that he says somehting about the car vroom when we hear it vroom and he speaks about the hadida when the sound of the hadida is heard. And by the banana peel bit we edited it in a way so that it looks like that is what he is saying physically. We think this bit with the banana peel is perfect and doesnt require us to do it over, but then everything before and after that needs another take please. The changes that we are suggesting is that you please jumble the words around a bit (please refer to the edit we sent via email as a reference to how the words can be) as well as the way that you speak in a way that it syncs with the movement of the squirrel more, cause the squirrel moves so fast, perhaps speaking faster a bit more, maybe Ty Ty is high but paranoid haha. So technically we think maybe we make snippets for bits of movement rather than one long track? SO from here on we have the script now more or less, now its more up to us fitting the words and voice perfectly to the body movements and rythm of the squirrels actions. So when he is chewing as well it ,might work if you can chew physically too, so that it sounds like you have food in your mouth when you are talking, what do you think?

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost I can see how this is all confusing rather break this down into bits targeting specific parts of the video so with every bit he can take action at a certain part of the video. Also this is very constrained we should send him more points of reference for the work. I am looking for the insta link from yesterday to add to this

[CIEspost]

@zacck ok, i will write this down and then also please can we make a time and date with Josh for when we can discus this?

[CIEspost]

See comments from Tyrone on episode here #28

[CIEspost]

@zacck we can consider doing this in cape town - create a little 3d world of cape town's gardens and get a 3d model of a squirrel and put it in there and give it a voice, with one liners and make people play the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu_D-lDORbw ?

[CIEspost]

@zacck shall we make an issue for the game I mention above? Its kind of an easter egg in a sense, erhaos we put it in Afrikaner Apokolips?

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost I think this is a rather big project and we should treat it as such as separate project as there are many other associated things we need to determine

[CIEspost]

@zacck yes i understand it as such, my question i where do we put it?

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost we need to discuss first on how we are going to handle this kind of project where does it fit in our timelines and goals

[CIEspost]

ok, lets make an issue for that @zacck - my main prirority here is just that i just wanted to make the idea for this an issue on the correct repo, we dont have to start making it, its just listing down the idea, and then when we get to afrikaner apokolips sprints we will discuss the scope of the thing

[CIEspost]

See here the document to write the trailer script in once done https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1saNmVXKBFeoQkK8oTsSVurfElvVBWmcaw7ed12XODSc/edit#gid=1961838279

Use issue #28 to get more info on script

[CIEspost]

Use comemtns from zacck and aphelele to write final script to give to Josh

here follows comments:

"Why is Chris Brown the dove any context to get from this? I like that as the squirrel walks in Busta Rhymes gives a speech this serves as a connection for both. The rap feels better than the conversations before maybe because of the energy matches. The audio feels like it can match the squirrels actions better. What's the squirrel's name?"

"its not funny enough, but I do like this it will make alot of sense once it looks likes the Squirrel, the one rapping"

[CIEspost]

this is the final edit, here is the video link https://youtu.be/MQC57tXXu-o and here is the lyrics to the parts that feature in the song

Look At Me Now (Explicit Version) (feat. Lil' Wayne & Busta Rhymes)

Chris Brown Ayo Breezy Let me show you how to keep the dice rolling When your doing that thing over there homie Let's go! Cause I feel like I'm running And I'm feeling like I gotta get away, get away, get away Better know that I don't and I won't ever stop Cause you know I gotta win everyday day, day, go!

[CIEspost]

I want a friend of mine who is a rapper and really funny guy, (his name is verassings) i want him to rewrite the lyrics in a coloured accent and with different words, he is naturally funny and can write lyrics really quickly, i will then record his voice and add it to the video, edit it and send Josh the final video with narration, then Josh can do the music and the background sounds @zacck what do you think

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost I don't think we should start involving other people in this specific part of this project, I think we already have a plan for this first video and we should finish and release this with Josh. It will take the same amount of time to get someone else up to speed as it has gotten to get Josh to speed. However you can decide this as you know best.

[CIEspost]

@zacck i just dont want Josh to spend time writing the lyrics and then we arent happy with it

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost I think you should choose what to do then. Because I'm out of my depth with this.

[CIEspost]

@zacck its fine, lets see what happens with this

[CIEspost]

@zacck im just not very confident that this thing is going anywhere worthwhile right now

[zacck-zz]

@CIEspost then lets stop it and work on something that is going somewhere let me when to tell Josh he should stop using time or waiting for this.

[CIEspost]

@zacck please discus this with me in person

[ApheleleM]

I do Agree with Zack, We need another angle to attack this, But I dont know what could be it yet. I thought the only reason the video does not get to the level we want it to be,

• [ ] first we have 360 video

• [ ] secondly we compare the squerrel Video to the Normal videos (Dog funny Video)

• [ ] thirdly the Squirrel is far from the Camera

• [ ] fourthly Its hard to get emotions from animals on the 360 vIDEOS @CIEspost @zacck

[CIEspost]

@ApheleleM thanks so much for the comments, yes I agree with u, but im in 2 minds right now, I have realized its quite difficult to produce comedy, so i think we should keep trying, however as @zacck has reminded me its better to finish then not finish so lets go ahead and finish this and keep discussing what we think will work for the next time round... so for now, I will send Josh the lyrics and we finish this video , your thoughts @zacck @ApheleleM ?

[zacck-zz]

👍 I'm eager to get going let's see what we can do

[ApheleleM]

@CIEspost Yeah , Giving up is not an Option, lets do it.
