Act Like Odyssey Contest!

[EMBEE]

Well, yeah, but I like doing my Wooton voice.

[Bob Booth]

ooh! Can you post a sample of it? (you should make a thread in Whit's End for posting your Odyssey character impressions!)

[EMBEE]

I guess I could. I'll do it as soon as I have a chance to record myself.

[Mr.Whit]

I recorded my scene today
Its the one with Jack
You'll see it if they choose it, if not I'll tell you what it was then.
Its a secret for now

[Taq]

Awesome, Mr.Whit! Who are you in the scene? Jack?

[Trixie Belden]

And which Jack? Davis, or Allen?

[odysseyfan1]

With the AWSOME prize that they're giving away who wouldn't be in the contest? I have a few ideas. Please let me win!

[Mr.Whit]

I am Jack, Allen that is

[Marvin D.]

Oooh....how nice!

Has anyone been following the comments on the video podcast? One of the commenters asked if animation was okay; the official reply was affirmative, saying that thinking outside the box with delivery (as the playmobile entry did in the Darien's Rise art contest) might just work.

Also... I have an (in my estimation) awesome idea for an entry that I'm now sharing with the world since I don't have the time/skills to do it. After reading Top's suggestion of condensing DBD into a short video, I thought, why not condense DBD or Novacom or some other miniarc into a 4-minute animation/video for humor? Basically, you only show the essential scenes/plot points and you do them in a slapstick/humorous way. Has anyone heard of the Reduced Shakespeare Company? Take a look at this vid to get an idea of what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOWC5zf8YMw. Yes, the co. condensed Shakespeare plays short enough to fit in Jeopardy! clues.

P.S. If someone uses this idea, I'd like a shoutout... and should you win a cut of the prize (negotiable. Please PM me for details).

I was actually thinking along these same lines! That would be really fun to see.

They're pretty much open to anything, hey? As long as it's under 4 minutes.

[Leonard Meltsner]

I can't even begin to imagine what scene to do. There are so many possibilities!!! I liked the videos on the podcast of people performing them at their churches. I've typed out the scripts of a few episodes and presented them as plays for teaching Children's Church.

[Danielle Abigail Maxwell]

Now I remember... lol. My school took the skit from the Odyssey episode where they did a play on the Body... its in album 4, but I can't remember which episode, and the 1st through 5th graders did the skit. It was awesome. Emily was Lucy's character. Gotta love remembering these things. But for me that was like... 6, 7 years ago, so I don't have it on video, or I'd send it in. Loved that skit though.

LOL... let me forget and remember... I was narrator! I didn't sound like Whit, of course.. I'm a girl!

[EMBEE]

My brother and I have been debating wether or not we should do the scene we planned on doing, or if we should do a different scene, or what. We cannot make up our minds.

[Marvin D.]

Need help? Is that why you're posting? Well, for Dr. Wise to help, he needs background info, lol.
1. How old is he?
2. What seen did you plan to play?
3. Why are you debating?
Hehe..

[EMBEE]

1. He is 12. My sister also wants to do it with us and she is almost 10. My other brother might do it too, (if we do the scene we originally planned) and he is 7.
2. The scene in The Mailman Cometh where Marvin and Tamika are hyper after drinking coffee.
3. Because we were kind of wanting to do a scene that would be more funny.

[Marvin D.]

Funnier....weeelll....I'm 12 too. How about Switch? Throw in your own characters? Or maybe you could do a BTV show.

[EMBEE]

We've never heard Switch, so that one's pretty much out. A BTV could work.

So, the deadline is almost here, how is it going? Have you already sent in your entry?
