dr. nervioso:
I can
Write a script: I a not extremely OMG good, but if we are in the context of victorian dialect and snarkiness and general oddity I will suffice I believe
Manage: I can do this, though because I a not so keyed in on this crowd, I do not believe I can do anything but be loud and scary
Other: I could er- hire you all some grade A hussies?
Jimor:
Very cool, we'll see about fitting you in.
BTW, everybody, sorry about dropping the ball. I'm still game for this, and now that summer is here and I've gotten some other commitments out of the way, should be able to devote some time to it. I think I have an idea on a story, so I'll flesh it out some and post it here for comments before moving onto a final script stage.
Fortunately, this is the kind of project that can putter along at its own pace, it's not like we have a deadline or anything. I figure if we have a finished product by Christmas, it's all good. Then once we know whether it all works and have some procedures and experience in place, it will be much easier for future projects with different mixes of people, more ambitious projects, etc.
Lines:
I wish I'd seen this earlier! If you need another voice, let me know.
Jimor:
Definitely still time to get in on this! I'll work on coming up with a storyline that's flexible on how many performers or even "extras" we use. The more people who get a chance to figure out how to record and send files, the better off we'll be for future projects.
Jimor:
OK, I have a rough outline of a comedy pirate adventure. It feels like it would fit in the 10-15 minute range.
Captain and crew come back from failed raid
Captain and his Lady Pirate in their cabin talking about it, it's made clear she's the brains behind the throne
Lady Pirate leaves cabin
Crew pull her aside and ask for help in mutiny
They tell her Captain's plans are idiotic, but she seems smart enough to be in charge
Lady Pirate tries to talk them out of it, but agrees to go along
Back with Captain, she tells him about the mutiny
She comes up with plan for a successful raid to re-win the crew's confidence.
She tells crew to wait for next raid as the best opportunity to get rid of Captain.
Her plan is so convoluted and prone to failure they realize she's the one making all the mistakes.
Final scene of Lady Pirate and Captain in dinghy after being tossed off the ship
A lot of the humor will be dependent on the dialogue, but I think this has good potential for setting all that up, particularly with some good secondary characters.
