a couple more references..

hey guys,
these are just some videos i showed you in the studio...

this one is probly a good example for the Red Sun ad. this is just a spoof extras from eternal sunshine of the spotless mind dvd. from what we discussed on the studio, we wanted to do similar approach as this video, to get that cheesy infomercial effect (similar style of song perhaps?) as an advertisement for the Red Sun 'helpline' (not the society). the target is to approach parents to send their kids or their depressed selves to the company and get... well.. drugged.




this video is from michel gondry's dave chappelle's block party. this might be another way to present the documentary as it may look slightly more laid-back than the alien interview video, which i personally thought is a bit too professional-looking for an 'amateur' rebel group.. well, its just an alternate idea, might be useful for future references..




if anyone's interested, ive got the dvds so just tell me if you want to borrow em..

another thing, i might just put all the stuffs we went through on the studio. not gonna be a long one, thou..

ideas:

1. Infomercial --> example: Lacuna Inc. video
very simple video, gives cheesy effects
targeted for kids and young adults, and their parents
idea: showing a 'happy' life, taking a stroll down the park while the doctors (or whoever he is) blabbers abt how Red Sun will provide happiness bla bla bla...

2. Documentary --> have a 'spy' from the rebel group into the red sun and record conversations
undercovered rebel group sending webcam videos to current affair
still photos with voice overs as the background
min: 3 characters --> the reporter, the redsun (current member, ex), the rebel character (parents of the children), government
do the re-enacment of 'drugging' scene


3. Current affair --> was sent a webcam video from an undercovered red sun member
press conference of a government member denying the secret society


SCENARIO:

"For awhile they were really good kids, but after certain period of time they behave differently"
"The government funded Eclipse to destroy the Red Sun, but then they realise that government also funded Red Sun as a secret society/cult" --> this part is already refined by Kyle and it's now clear that the government is no longer funding the Red Sun but instead 'hire' a rebel group to gain public respects to 'destroy' the society



REMEMBER:: each video team member should come up with scripts for each videos and create storyboards by Friday and post it to the video blog!!



okay, thats all from me. will reach you guys back on Friday. WE ROCK :D
