First Draft
Okay. I've completed my first draft of the "Meet Booster Gold" script. It's more ambitious than I first thought, and I'll need help from some talented cosplayers to get it done right. (I can edit video and sound, but I'll need performers.)
Here's the introduction:
FADE IN
INT. NONDESCRIPT ROOM
BOOSTER GOLD directly addresses the camera in a confessional style. This could be a webcam or a cell phone selfie.
BOOSTER
Are you recording now?
SKEETS
(voice over)
Yes, sir. You may begin when ready.
BOOSTER
Hi, I'm Booster Gold. You may recognize me from my commercials for Soder Cola and Brysler Motors, but I'm not just another pretty face. I'm a bona fide super hero!
CUT TO EXT. STREET CORNER
This begins a series of "man on the street" style interviews as seen on the evenings news. Like Booster, interviewees look directly into camera. These can be shot in any environment.
INTERVIEWEE 1
Booster Gold? He saved my mom from the Royal Flush Gang.
CUT TO DIFFERENT INTERVIEWEE
INTERVIEWEE 2
Yeah, I know him. He was in the Justice League. Good guy.
CUT TO DIFFERENT INTERVIEWEE
INTERVIEWEE 3
He's no Green Lantern.
Of course I go on to cover Booster's mischievous past and time traveling present. I've posted the whole script in the Boosterrific Forum.
My readings have clocked the whole script in at about 2 minutes, but I'm reasonably satisfied that I've covered all the key elements of Booster Gold's character and adventures. Once you've read it, let me know what you think either here, the Forum, or via email at webmaster at Boosterrific.com.
(Especially get in touch if you're interested in being on camera for this. As you can see, I'll need several cosplayers and "actors." Personally, I've always been a behind the scenes person myself.)
Thanks for your support!
