Eggs! : Opening Sequence Idea - II

So, Just to keep everyone in the loop, I am currently writing my opening training video for Eggs!.

The only time I'm inspired to write it is at work, herego, it's really hard to write continuously and not get interrupted. I know we haven't nailed down character names, or planet names or any of that stuff. I'm just going to write what I have in my head, and we can change things as the group decides to see fit.

Let's keep this blog going - the whole point of writing here is that it's EASY, remember? It takes no time at all to post....

Eggs! : Opening Sequence Idea

HI!

Sorry to distract from TWD - but I wanted to share this idea with you all. I talked to Leslie briefly about it yesterday.

I know we were talking about something in the beginning of the show (right at the top) that kind of explains about the world we're trying to portray. We also discussed a musical number that would talk about Bizmat Eggs - and slowly the audience would start to understand that aliens are harvesting HUMAN eggs - and that the word Bizmat, basically means human.

My idea is to have an opening video (so we can continue to incorporate multimedia into our stage shows-- which i love) that is a "Training video" for new alien employees that work at Bizco - the giant government regulated company that produces and sells Bizmat Eggs.


The training video will be able to tell all about how the eggs are procured and produced. We can have a song in there, and some other stuff. It'll also allow us to be a little silly and campy - because all training videos are retarded.


Let me know what you think. Also I had this idea that the aliens just rip off stuff from "the world that was" - for example their flag should look like this :

Where the aliens consider it like - their planet taking over another planet... but to Bizmats it looks like a pacman. I don't know. It's funny.

White Door VII (ps great job guys, this is so exciting)


I froze for a moment. Listening to the sound...

*ping*

It was coming from my left.

*ping*
I listened long enough to it that I noticed it was rhythmic. 3 pings and then a zap.

*ping* zap

I decided to go near it. I was still feeling a little vertigo. Other than the feeling of the floor below me I couldn't see it. So I slowly walked towards the noise...

*ping*

Thank god it got louder. I was afraid this place I was in was never ending. That I would be searching for the noise for the whole time I was here...

*ping*

The whole time I was here. How long would I be here? Would she take over my life and I would die in this white void? Would I be stuck here? I found myself unable to breathe

*ping* zap

After a couple of minutes of panic I finally resolved to take it one step at a time. Find the noise. Figure it out. Find another door to my house and not let it disappear. I could do this, it wasn't unlike any of the video games I've played. It wasn't unlike some of my recurring dreams I have had since I was a child...

*ping*

Since I was a child. That's right...this place...has been in my dreams...
