Room and stuff...

1. Camera begins at the side corner of the bed

- He rises from the bed- raises his hand and the covers slide off him; he then slides off the bed.

2. Camera shifts to side of bed

-he raises his hands like an usher and the blinds rise up

3. Camera shifts to example pic. Location

- he slides from the window to the computer desk… his legs don’t move as he slides, but his arms continue to perform action (e.g. scratch head)

-he waves his hand and pulls a chair from off-screen, he sits down on the chair, then motions for the table to come out…he then snaps his fingers and a laptop appears on the table

-he motions for the laptop to open and begins to work on it. After a short time he closes the laptop, and pushes the table back under the desk.

-his chair then slides forward to the desk, with him still in it

4. Camera shifts to an over the head shot directly behind him as he sits at the desk

-he looks at the empty shelves, then begins to point at individual shelves. As he points as each shelf, it fills up with items and personal effects

5. Camera shifts to same location as (3)

-he then pushes himself out from the desk a little bit

-he then stands up and slides over to the couch

-he sits down on the couch and motions for the ottoman, which slides over to him and under his feet

- he then starts moving his hands and the tv moves according to his movements

-he then reclines on the couch

***End***

Alternate:

To link up the room with the community area… -have him adjust the tv, then motion to the ottoman over

-line that up with the ottoman moving in the community area

Details

The cards will disappear from the players hands and reappear on the table. They will also reshuffle themselves after each hand.

The cards will be independent, entirely, of the people except in the moments when the cards are being picked up and held.

I'm not sure on the logistics of the flying high five, but it would be excellent if it could happen.

A strong light on the table will block out the background, and the audience won't be moved in until the shots where they are necessary.

The people in the background will be wearing bright, colorful clothing to further contrast when the lights flick on.

Story

The video begins with two men sitting at a round table playing poker in a dark room. The cards are essentially the dealer, distributing themselves to the two players, and then disappearing from their hands to land on the table. This happens rapid fire, with several hands being dealt and played in quick succession. The camera goes to a much closer view, and the rapid fire play continues, until one of the players plays a straight/flush. The game stops, and the camera shifts backwards as the player jumps up and cheers as the lights in the background turn on revealing a bunch of cheering spectators. The two players shake hands and the winning player turns to go. On the way, he does a flying high five with a Hilton employee.
This piece is funnier with crazy voice over, but that really depends on how funny the dialogue can be…


Pretty much the same as last time but with cards rather than a board game.

Story

The story begins in a dark room with a spotlight on two people sitting at a table playing a board game (chess, monopoly...chess). Their arms project forward and back, stop-motion, and pieces move across the board.

It switches to a view of the board by itself, and the pieces move across the board, disappearing one by one as each is taken.

It goes back to a slightly closer view of the first shot. A couple more moves are made, then finally a winning move is made (if chess, the king gets knocked over). The winner swiftly stands and begins to cheer in jubilation (excuse to use that word).

The lights flick on, and there's a bunch of people in the background who are also cheering. The end...

Optional at end: Have a Hilton worker come up and shake the winners hand before Gumbying (I went there) his way off the screen.

Inspirational Examples

Oddly enough, this is a fairly common theme...yet I'm drawing a blank. There's quite a few movies I've seen where the figure head of the family dies and someone else has to move in to fill the void. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a pretty hard blank on them and google doesn't help, pretty much just regiving me god father over and over again. Also, I just said drawing a blank two times in three sentences...
