Ok, here goes my second attempt at this, hopefully the post button won't be a FAIL on me this time. <_<
A few times over the past couple of years, I shared a few of my scripts here of my scripted series I've been writing for the past 8 years since I was 10 called "Stuck On Stoop-id" in the Front Porch/Pot Belly Stove threads, but since several constant discussions take place there, I thought it might be better to place them in a separate thread. If any admins. feel differently, I'll go back to posting them there at seldom times of the year.
Since Labor Day is coming soon, I'm posting this episode since it begins on Labor Day. (It's only mentioned to be Labor Day in the slug lines of scenes in the first act.)
Episode Description/Season Three Episode 36 - Daniel’s Outrageous Birthday [CODE NUMBER - S3136]
It’s Labor Day, but it's also Daniel’s 32nd birthday and since he’s never been to Chuck E Cheese’s as a kid, the family plans to hatch that part of his lost childhood for his birthday. While there, Daniel receives a phone call from an old ex friend from high school whose opening his 4th theme park in the country in Kansas City. When he opened his 1st park, Daniel and he were partners that went their separate ways. Rick tells him that he still has an old stock from that park that’s worth millions of dollars now, but if he doesn’t get to Washington D.C in 1 day to claim ownership of it, Rick is planning to railroad Daniel by buying out his stock. Can Daniel get to DC in time to claim what's rightfully his?
There's an original and cleaner version (removed the mild/strong language) of this episode attached below.
Also back in November 2009, I posted a fan fiction episode of my series that revolved around The Weather Channel, due to the episode not being updated since then and there being 3 departures of OCMs I used in that script, I'll probably post an updated version here when I get around to it. Jim Cantore and Heather Tesch will remain in the script unchanged.
Alexandra Steele (Lines to be replaced by Crystal Egger or Julie Martin)
Kevin Robinson (Lines to be replaced by either Chris Warren or Eric Fisher)
Nicole Mitchell (Lines to be replaced by Maria LaRosa)

Unfortunately, he has a 100% chance of making enemies, friends, an obsessed fan and did I mention a slight chance of making more enemies?)

I just realized tonight I started this thread without posting character descriptions of the main/secondary characters. The list has been updated tonight attached below.
Also for those who read this, I need help on choosing a new story title. The current one now I'm not liking as much as I used to. Right now I have:
Stoop-idly Misguided Family
Stoop-idly Misguided
I'm With Stoop-id
Stoop-id Is As Stoop-id Does
Home Sweet Hell (Previous story title)
Overland Park (Suburban area outside of Kansas City)
KC (Short for Kansas City)

Dean Rough Draft Sketch
Age 13
DOB: November 1998 (As of 2011)
I know the shoes look weird, but as I mentioned before I'm not the best drawer and it's hard for me to try and draw in great detail that small. If it's hard to tell they are supposed to be Nike's. I'll probably change em to a different brand of shoes in my final draft. (Perferably something more simplistic for me to draw that's recognizable. :P)

Thanks, I'll probably post some more soon. :happy:

Out of the nearly 8 1/2 years I've been writing this series, I did something rather unorthodox. This is the first episode where the entire first draft wasn't written but instead typed right off the bat. I think I'm going to start doing that more often so I don't have to draft it out first in a spiral notebook. I'll stick to doing my episode outlines on paper though.
Season 8 Episode 178 - Senior Graduates (Season Finale)
Special Code Number - S825178
EPISODE SYNOPSIS - Rodney, after 47 years, receives a letter from his old high school that he didn’t technically graduate high school along with some of his other friends when they were drafted into the Vietnam War back in 1965 and they will have to make up a credit of a class they weren’t given to receive their official diploma. Once Rodney and his friends enter back into the high school world their behaviors quickly change to where Rodney is acting like a 17 year old again rather than a 65 year old and Rodney's son Daniel is suddenly acting as the authoritative father figure over Rodney.

Miguel (Melody's boyfriend/neighbor)

I made another slight change to my first season, switching the episode I had for ep. 4 to another episode. So below is the new episode 4 titled, "My Mom the Sex Ed Teacher" (New Title - TYPED ROUGH DRAFT #1)
Episode Summary: Kara has volunteered to be the new temporary Sex Ed teacher at her kids’ school much to their dismay and objections, but while she may be educating children on the basics of sex and prevention, she’s becoming a wild animal at home that Daniel just can’t keep up with.
This episode came in a little shorter than the average amount of pages I usually write, only 39 (18 1/2 front & back) pages.
-
Episode 2 is being heavily revised again, so I'll skip that one for now. Below is Episode 3.
Episode 3: Playing Hookey, Getting a Hookey (New Revised Title)
(When Jason, Ana and Dean are left out of the loop on a planned "Ditch Day" at school, they begin to feel as if they are uncool and decide in retaliation to plan their own Ditch Day, but things go awry when Principal Keeler catches them trying to fake illnesses to skip school and he immediately sends them to detention which they also eventually ditch to continue their ditch day plans. On their way, they run into their dad Daniel who is skipping work to avoid a job performance inspection at the police station that could put his job in jeopardy if he fails. While spending part of their afternoon at a baseball game playing hookey, a fly ball hits Jason in the face giving him a black eye. Rumors immediately spread around town and the assumption is that Daniel is abusing his son. The truth is finally revealed about the alleged abuse rumors, but it comes at the cost of admitting that they skipped work and school.)
-
Episode 5: Girl Power

(1992 as of 2012) Unexpectedly, Melody becomes the new temporary football coach after Jason's lazy and failed attempt, but Melody proves to have quite the competitive streak that brings out the nastiness in her. Under Melody's new leadership over the team, they are able to advance to the playoffs finally going against the Vikings, but will the team be able to win cutting losses with Ana or will she prove to be their only chance at their long awaited victory over their rivals?)
-
This isn't my best episode, one of the weakest of this first season IMO. Kinda tame in the jokes and all even though the story is moving at a fast pace than most of the other episodes I've posted usually do. I wanted to expand on the B-Story with Melody and her siblings on the movie they were making, but the episode was already running long and it's a B-Story anyway so it's not supposed to take up much time. ;)
Episode 6: Lazy Daze, Bummer Times
(Jason, 13 and having not much of any long term goals in life starts hanging out with lazy bums who influence him into thinking he will get everything on a silver platter if he follows their motto. Meanwhile, Melody has to take on the duties of putting a student film together for her 8th Grade English class with her siblings Dean and Ana along with Grandpa Rodney volunteering to help, but the movie turns out to be a messy disaster once presented in class.)
-
The following episode are being skipped for now
Episode 7: Be My Valentines (V-Day has long well passed, but besides that I need to edit/revise it again)
Episode 8: Comin' Out - I can't find my written script so I can type it! :( It's in one of my notebooks of written scripts somewhere... :thinking:
Episode 9: 30 Going On Uh…Well 30 (Revision needed; made some changes for the main plot that I haven't typed yet.)
In the meantime, attached below is...
Episode 10: The Stoop-id Man Who Made a Racist Comment
Episode Synopsis: When Chief Dale announces he's going on vacation and has picked someone to temporarily take his place, Daniel is more than sure that it will be him, but he gets the shock of his life when Dale picks Jeremy over him. Daniel believes Jeremy undermined him to get the temporary position. Daniel unknowingly makes a comment from a joke he heard on FOX news that leads to his co-workers believing he’s a racist.

Meanwhile, Melody finds out that she once had a boyfriend before Miguel and can’t remember him because she suffered memory lost from a water ski accident, Melody tries to go out with her previous boyfriend again, but he turns out to be very obsessive.

-

SEASON TWO EPISODE 15: FARRAH, KARA WHACKED SHUT
Episode Description: While at one of his GRA meetings (A version of the NRA), Daniel meets Leonato, an Italian mobster who’s trying to keep his high life of crime on the down low until Daniel makes a comment to him about how he wishes his sister in law Farrah would just die, Leonato and his gang of mobsters go out to kill Farrah, taking Daniel's comment as a green-light to whack her off even though Daniel didn't intentially want Leonato to put a hit out on her. Kara and Farrah are downtown when Leonato goes in for the kill on Farrah, but he doesn’t know whether Kara is Farrah or Farrah is Kara since they’re both twins, so he kidnaps and holds them both as hostages.
-
I'll be the first to admit the plot of this story is very far fetched (logically) but hey I don't do research to see if such a plot is realistically possible for a comedy. It was the best thing I could think of build up the climax to the plot. :P

I put so much work into writing these past almost 10 years (wow, I can't believe it's been that long!) that I've never really worked on character sketches. Well, that's what I'll be doing and posting here in between stories.
This first one is just a final draft of the character Dean (I posted one before a while back)
There are some mistakes in coloring because I used colored pencils on somewhat aging drawing paper. For example, the blue was supposed to show up much darker and no, that's not black nail polish on his fingers, I just totally screwed up coloring in the shadowing on his jeans.
Below are the original black and white and colored images. :happy:

It didn't dawn on me until this week, but the 12th (Thursday) will be the 10th anniversary since I wrote my first script for this series. I was in the 5th grade at the time. Time really flew by fast! :lol:
Anyway, I'm currently working on developing a new project and this one is much more ambitious because I want to turn it into an internet series on Youtube within the next 1-2 years. Long time I know, but I want to take my time to do it right.
The unofficial name of the series would be "Misguided or Misunderstood Missile" or simply just "Missile"
Below is brief summary of what I'm thinking for the pilot...
A young, shy, and socially awkward (age not decided yet) teenage boy by the name of Missile Parker has his world turned upside down once he learns his father (Warren Parker) is being arrested for tax evasion, leaving Missile virtually parent-less. In the meantime, Missile travels thousands of miles to (city location not decided yet) on the apartment doorsteps of his older estranged brother Rocket Parker. After getting off on the wrong foot from the start, the two brothers try to cope and adjust to their new temporary living arrangements, even though the new living arrangement puts a disruption on Rocket's life before Missile arrived.
Possible Cities I'm thinking of for the series to take place...
-Portland, OR or MA
-Boston, MA
-Seattle, WA
-San Francisco, CA
^ I'm trying to go for locations where there's a high number of folks identified as "Hipsters" for this series to take place in.

Ooh, that sounds great! I can't wait to see the result. :) (Or maybe I can. You need time. :P)

It's a very broad timeline, but it might not take that long to complete since it's only going to be a 5 minute short to test the waters. If it goes all well, I'll animate the whole pilot and go from there. :happy:

I could really use some help on this. As one of two projects I'm doing for my advanced AE class, I've decided to do a intro to my new scripted series and I'm trying to decide on a font for the title. These are 8 of the best ones I've seen and liked from dafont.com
Orange Juice

I would say Kraash or Teenage Delinquent.

Thank you for the input Trevor, hopefully I'll be able to decide on one soon. I like the Awkward, Cute Cartoon, and Orange Juice fonts the best in addition to the two you picked.
-
Update: I'm 50% done with my show intro for "Misguided Missile". :twothumbs: I chose to do this for my Advanced AE class project which spans the entire semester.
I would share a test video of what I have so far, but I think even if I watermark it w/ my name someone else might download it and claim it as their own work. :hmm:
-
On second thought, since I'm going to work on an alternate version in the future, I think I will share the version I decided to make for my AE class. In fact, the theme show intro is completed one month ahead of schedule for this semester! :twothumbs: However, I'll wait until I present it in class which won't be until next month and once it's been graded I'll attach it here.
I'm finally finished and ready to present on Monday! I can't wait! :D I'm still gonna do the part in bold afterwards. I should point out again that the version I made for my AE class won't be the same version I would use for the actual show. Right now I'm still working on a script. (just started on it 2 weeks ago) Once I get that done, I'm going to focus my attention on making a short pilot (roughly 3-5 minutes) to post on YouTube. Who knows how long that will take me though. :lol:

I'm going to have to post my first rough draft intro (my AE Project which I got an A+ on btw :D) of my ongoing developing cartoon series "Misguided Missile" from a third party source. It's about 52MB mp4 file in size, which is pretty small when you're talking about an AE project with a lot of animation in it. When I tried to attach it here, the site flaked out, probably because of my crappy wi-fi connection. <_< The music is from a band called Captain Cryptic with the same song title name as the cartoon. You can find it on gettyimages.com under the music section. I claim no rights or ownership to their music. I only used it for the sake of my class project because it fits with the intro I created. I have no plans whatsoever to use this song or their music when I recreate the intro over again from scratch to use for the actual series.
I actually came up with the name of my cartoon series because of this song, so it's very likely the name will change. I may just simply call it "Missile" and drop the Misguided part. I don't know yet.
Link to the song I chose as a temporary theme song for my class project

Thinking it over, I decided to go with a different font choice, so I chose Dimbo font from dafont.com.

You can download the font from here if you like it or want to use it for something

Also I finished my first draft for the pilot of this story about a month ago, but I think I'm going to try to get it copyrighted first with the US Copyright Office before I share it here.

I've been putting this project on hold this Summer, but since yesterday, I started working on redesigning my characters. Below is one of the new designs, I did a before and after to show off some of the changes I made from May to this month. They're not subtle changes either!
(http://i.imgur.com/y5qQyMf.png)
-
Never satisfied apparently, I settled on another design style. No more last minute changes, I'm about 100% positive the second and fourth designs will be the final look. :)
Also, this won't have any impact in delaying my progress, everything is still on track. :thumbsup:
-
This is really great! I can't wait to see what this looks like!

My first sketch drawing of Tyson Wong (Age 15), the school bully and Missile's antagonist. I'll share a final, color version once it's done. :thumbsup:

Well it shouldn't come to any surprise that I obviously was wrong on this. :lol: Reasoning for this big delay has been because I'm still experimenting with how to animate this cartoon plus sometimes life just gets in the way just because it can. <_< I've tried everything from the puppet method to the Duik script. The latter of which I liked the best, but it's too time consuming for each individual character. I think I've figured out a similar, but easier method for me to animate. Because of this, I can only go with a premiere date of TBD. :(
Plus I'm still working on the voice acting, like I said about the animation, this is a one man show for me. I had to write an alternate script where there are no females that will be heard or seen since I can't do female voices (not convincingly anyway). :P
In the meantime, here's another graphical update of the main character, he's a little less stiff than before, in addition to rockin' some dope new kicks. :D

Well, it's not an episode and it's incomplete (work in progress), but it is the beginnings of a cartoon short I started working on last week/weekend.
I submitted this W.I.P video as apart of a film festival event my professor/adviser informed me about. He said they had a category for specifically Animation and he recommended I submit something in because he thinks my work is pretty good. I originally told him I wasn't going to submit this at first because like I said it's incomplete, but he informed me that it didn't have to be, it could be classified as a "test animation".
What do you guys think of it so far?
EDIT: Reposting a new link to the video now that I created an official Misguided Missile Youtube Page! :happy:
