Project 1 for VSFX 406 - Concept Development involves coming up with a wide variety of concepts regarding a single specific object, then presenting said concepts to the class. These concepts could be themes, they could be a scene, they could be certain attributes of the object exaggerated to the extreme. My chosen object are my pair of Pie Tops II- sneakers capable of ordering pizza with the push of a button.
Since I am adept at creating video content, I decided to write, record, and edit my presentation as a video to present, as opposed to a live presentation. The concepts I came up with for my Pie Tops II come in the form of short scenes, with the Pie Top shoe serving as a Macguffin or a tool. Here is the loose script I came up with:
*video starts with collection of images playing to the krusty krab training video opening montage song.*
These are the official Pizza Hut pie tops II designed by Dominic "The Shoe Surgeon" Ciambrone. By pushing the button on the right sneaker’s tongue, you can have 2 hot pizza hut pizzas delivered directly to your location. The left sneaker can pause cable television using an IR receiver. In this video, I’m gonna walk you through 5 different concepts based off of these pizza shoes. Starting wiiiiith-
1. Secret Agent Pizza Man
[ANNOUNCER VOICE]: Meanwhile, inside the evil Dr. Ignoble’s volcanic lair.
*agent tied up to table with laser about to cut him up*
[DR. IGNOBLE]: Haha, you see, agent, in just 30 minutes or less the entire world’s supply of parmesan cheese will be mine!
[AGENT]: You’ll never get away with this, ignoble!
[DR. IGNOBLE]: Oh but you see, I already have!! Muahaha! Any last words?
[AGENT]: Yeah. Say cheese
*agent reaches down and presses the tongue of his shoe. Roof cracks and pizza hut employee falls through, crushing dr. ignoble*
[PIZZA HUT EMPLOYEE]: Uhhh did anybody order twooo *checks receipt* medium two topping pizzas?
*end*
2. [TRAILER VOICE]: You loved Like Mike
*perhaps play a clip from the trailer*
[VOICE]: You’ve been made aware of Like Mike 2: Streetball as of 1 second ago.
*play clip of like mike 2*
[VOICE]: Now get ready for the epic conclusion of the magic shoes trilogy
[BOSS CHARACTER]: Yes, Mr. O’Neal, right away Mr. O’Neal. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. bye. *shouting to the kitchen* We need 500 large pies out the door in the next 10 minutes or Shaq’s retirement party is gonna go hungry! And you wouldn’t like him when he’s hungry!
[Pizza boy]: Forgive me, masters. I have to go all out. Just this once. *ties shoelaces*
[VOICE]: Like Papa Louie.
*tiny tim plays while a whole bunch of pizzas fly out the kitchen*
3. Pizza Power
Archaeologist searching a tomb. Professor narrating the experience to a classroom of people. Just a standard lecture
[PROFESSOR]: For years we’ve heard the turtles speak of a form of pizza power. From the ancient ritual song- “Pizza power
Makes a turtle's bell start ringing
Pizza power
Pizza power
Is the reason we are singing
Pizza power
Eat it any time of day”
Well, esteemed colleagues, I am excited to reveal to you that last week our skilled archaeologists have found the source of this pizza power deep within the ancient tombs of Pepperonia. It comes in the form of high fashion footwear, and we believe the raw pizza power emanating from this relic is enough to propel our technology forward another 2 millenia.
4. iApple Pizza Hut merge
[JUST TEXT]: Efficient. Innovative. Stunning. Marinara.
Retina Display. 15 hour battery life. Twice the pepperoni.
Fade in from white,
[CEO WEARING BLACK W GLASSES]: Hi. I’m Tim Cook Pizzaswell. As you may know, I used to be the CEO of a little software company called Apple. But as you may Not know, my true passion has always been some cheesy extra large pizza pie. Last week, my company Apple and Yum! Foods subsidiary Pizza Hut finalized their merger to become Pizza Apple Hut. I’m more than excited to announce our latest innovation and installment to the smart device and pizza pie industry- the iPie 2. Hitting shelves worldwide this week, this latest and tastiest piece of wearable technology is sure to revolutionize how you order pizza. For the discounted price of $18,000 you can experience the cumulative efforts of over a thousand culinary engineers and software developers.
5. Medieval kid playing in the forest. King Arthur Anchovie.
[KID, tommy]: teeheehee, come on isabella, try to keep up!
[ISABELLA]: nouurrryuuuuu (british “no”), tomathy!!! You’re going too farroourieuriururuu!!! Motha will be quite cross with yooruruurururuuruuu!!
*i basically know how it’s going to sound, so I will cease with the phonetic typing for now.*
[TOMMY]: Cmon, now, what’s life without a little bicky wicket of fun every now and then, right? Wee-hoo!
*naturally, he falls down a dead wooded hole. Deep.*
Ouch! Oof! Ow!
*finds a dusty pie top on a pedestal*
[TOMMY]: What’s this, then? *blows* It says “thou who can wear this shoe, shall sauce on all residents of this land, from PoppyWillowHillowsburyshire to HobbyKnobbyDickenBobby Court, and be crowned the next Lord of Pizza. Hmmm…..
MAKE WAY FOR PRINCE CHEESY!
Some of the ideas in this script don't translate well as simply a wall of text. But I have been collecting images, videos, and music to edit together and forge into an animatic of sorts. By 4/7/2022 this video will be fully exported and my idea will be realised.
