Script Ideas

My initial log lines
- Toy car chase scene around a mundane office
- Human and a dog fight over changing the radio station.
- new 2D to 3D Virtual reality glasses that can switch the animated character between 2D and 3D.
- Humanised TV switches clothing based on genre of channel being watched.Box TV is 3D animated, and character TV is 2D. Personaility think humanised TARDIS.
- Skype call with an animated character that escapes the screen.
- Load page destroyer app. Destroys all Error 404s. Character is the app mascot.

Favourite ideas

- Humanised TV switches clothing based on genre of channel being watched.Box TV is 3D animated, and character TV is 2D. Personaility: think humanised TARDIS. Live action uses remote to switch clothing, Animation is trying to take remote away. Jokes such as change into an animal for Discovery Channel, princess get up, etc.
- Load page destroyer app. Destroys all Error 404s. Character is the app mascot.

Even though my favourite idea is the changing channel costume idea, this could provide difficult since changing the model so often and coming up with so many different costumes, and turning the character into an animal could be difficult. I could simply texture some static over a blank character model to shift from shape to shape, but that is probably more difficult than simply creating a single character with a single costume.

Rough script ideqas
Load page destroyer app. Destroys all Error 404s. Character is the app mascot.
Spoof of dumb commercials.


Cellphone app zap guns, swipe forward to fire a laser to destory the 404 error message which is like a 3D brick wall projected from the computer screen.



INT. an office with a computer in an office cubicle. Or just a bedroom.


LA Character loads up a page, Error 404 page not found/no internet connection screen pops up.


LA Character: Oh no! I just wanted to load up my favourite social media website, but now I can’t. And to check the internet connection, I have to go all the way to the next room. Whatever will I do now?


Phone has an alert with a swipe forward command, LA Character checks Alert


LA Character: Oh? What’s this?


LA Character swipes the icon, and out pops Animation!


Animation: Hey there frazzled human! You look like you’re facing some web page trouble there! Why restart your modem when you can BLAST THROUGH THE SCREEN


LA Character: What?


Animation: BLAST THROUGH THE SCREEN


Animation summons the 3D page block projection from the computer


Then using phones as laser guns they blast the error messages away, ad ends with a slew of messages like 'batteries not included each feature sold separately'.

Animation summons the 3D page block projection from the computer

Animation: Now swipe!


Then using phones as laser guns they blast the error message to smithereens.

LA Character: Whoa! This app is such a marvel! Page Block Be Gone is my best friend!


Animation: Remember, Page Block Be Gone is only a download away, no more loading screens


blast through a youtube loading wheel

Animation: no more page not available

blast through this message

Animation: no more no internet connection found!
blast through it, the tiny dinosaur burns slowly to death.

Animation: why call tech support to solve all your digital problems? JUST BLAST THROUGH THEM WITH PAGE BLOCK BE GONE.



UPDATED

Changing channels idea


LA Character: I wonder what’s on tonight?


LA Character flips about 3-5 channels, underneath a couple news reports and boring infomercials, MTV etc it gets stuck on a witchcraft channel, and the remote cannot change the channel until the witch has cast a spell that causes the TV to glow and spit out a humanisation of the TV, because the occult channel is still on, she comes out as a witch.


LA Character is in brief awe, drops the remote. It lands buttons down and changes channel to an epic quest. The animated character changes into Game of Thrones get up, and is in shock.


LA Character is feeling giddy and changes the channel in quick succession to Childrens Cartoon, to News Report, to Cooking show, and in her frustration she knocks the remote out of LA Characters hand, and shakes her head, like “No no no, stop”


Both characters look at the remote on the floor and both scramble to grab it. LA Character grabs it first and runs around the room and onto the couch occasionally changing the channel to MTV, a live in show comedy, the Amazing Race, Discovery Channel, History Channel, with music cues. During the chase the LA Character falls behind the couch to better hide the transitions as they commence a cartoony wrestle behind the couch. Finally in a scramble to get the remote the LA Character breaks the remote, a flash happens resulting in the Animated Character wearing an amalgamation of all the previous channels in a disgusting mess.

The Animated character is now sad, that she has such a faceted appearance, but LA character comforts her by saying they represent each facet of her personality, and she doesn’t have to be one thing or the other,
