View Full Version : Sketch Comedy Show

5 Mar 2009, 01:21pm
As many of you know I put into the works a machinima called Good vs Evil. That project has been shelved for the moment. A bit too complex for me right now to start off with so now I am developing a new video project.

Its an Untitled Sketch Comedy Show. Sketch comedy shows are shows like Saturday Night Live, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Robot Chicken ect. These shows are comprised of small sketches or gags and compiled into a show. Pretty much gives you the ability to have several ideas being shown without any continutity being an issue.

Pretty much I have a whole list of sketch ideas:

The NRA Song (YMCA Parody)
The Ugly Man (GMod Faceposer)
Ode to the Explosion (Taking hiliarous explosion clips and syncing up to 1812 Ovature)
Overnight Newscast (Weekend Update'ish)
GMod Prop Madness
Zombie Invasion
Gaming PSA's
Sports Bloopers
Hostage Monologues
Fake Commercials

And a list of different parodies:

Law and Order
CSI
Game Shows
Celebrities
In-Game
Movies
"Still Alive"
Spies (007, Austin Powers ect.)


Pretty much these are just ideas and thoughts atm. What I'd need help with is pretty much whatever people can do. I'll need writers, voice actors, mappers, skinners, texture peoples, people good with faceposer, people good with Gmod.

For requirements or see what I expect out of the jobs:

Writers

Must be able to write coherant gags and ideas under deadlines
Must be able to take criticism well
Be able to attend meetings in vent
Send me a few teases of ideas or gags you came up with yourself

Voice Actors

Must be able to create funny and interesting characters
Must be able to do a characters voice with consistancy and accurately
Must have a way to record your own voice
Send me a few characters you created, can be based of real people, if you can do celebrities or famous people that is a big plus

Mappers

Must be able to create maps that will be used as sets pretty quickly and to specifications
Must be able to be creative with mapping
Familiarity with AI's and Choreographed scenes is a big plus
Send me a few examples of your mapping skills

Graphic Artists (Skinners and Texture peeps)

Must be able to create good looking skins for models and textures as they are needed
Must be able to work on a deadline
If you can model as well that would be a big plus
Send me a few examples of your skins and textures you've created
If you are good at photoshop I prolly could use help with some graphical elements I'd like to do.

Character Manipulators (Gmod and faceposer people)

Must be versitile in your respective programs and very knowledgable
If you can provide examples of what you know that will help

Editors

Must be good with audio or video editing
Must have a decent program to edit with
Must be able to work on deadlines

Segment Producers

Must be able to multiple talents listed above
Must be able to organize people well to get the job done
Must be able to come up with fresh and orginial ideas


I'll add to this and stuff as we go if needed. Thanks for taking the time to check this out!

I would be honored if I was picked to write. I love writing game reviews, short stories (which would be good IMO since were looking for little sketches), and creative essays. So if you need my help, hit me up!

I am gonna hold a writers meeting in vent on Monday at 7 PM EDT. We are gonna start brainstorming sketches and hopefully get some of the ideas I laid out knocked out. If you cannot attend, I still like your 2 cents. I'll be around from about 2 PM EDT onwards so catch me and give ideas or I can go more in depth with the ideas I had presented. What ever we work out will carry on to the set meeting. I will try to hold these things on a regular basis till we get a good system of stuff going on and I feel we can work a bit more autonomous.

The production meeting will occur on Wednesday at 7 PM EDT. We will start organizing the mappers, texture, skinners, graphical artists, and voice actors. I already have in mind some sets I'll need and different things and hopefully the writers meeting will provide more things so we can get you people working. Like the writers I'll try to hold regular meetings till we can get a good rythmn so we can be a bit more autonomous.

Thanks everyone for their intrest so far.

Well for a sketch comedy we would want just a simple scene that's funny. Nothing like a full movie, more like a clip.

10 Mar 2009, 03:24pm
yea well its up to you what you want. A script is something they can kind of work off of, tells them what to do when what to say when and actions backgrounds, music ques ect. But it might be much for something like this, just telling them what to do in vent could work also.

I'm not sure what would be funny here, I've seen people do her drug issues and whatnots and tbh I really don't care about her failed life.

Also, Production peeps. I really don't want to have another scheduled meeting this week (would be number 5 so far this week for me). So I'll be around a bit today and tomorrow, hit me up and ask me what I can have you do based of your talents. So no production meeting tonight.
