Notes from Basecamp

Hey guys,

Just to make sure everyone sees and is aware of the producer and directors notes that have been posted on basecamp I'm going to post them here:

- Have the pants up on the first butt joke.

- there's an issue with positions. Take in consideration that these are going to be the positions of the main characters. Luisa is on First Brad is on second and Vince is on third and shortstop. Mikey is in the outfield.

- On the silhouette shot of the kids cheering make them smaller because Luisa is belittled by the silhouettes.

- Maybe try to tie the gag of the alien eating the baseball bat and the alien doing the flower chain into one.

- The alien gag where they are with the candy wrappers. make it a little shorter and more pathetic. Don't have them move so much. one alien points to the ball and the other one belches as he tries to reach for it with no success.

-Keep their technology consistent from the pitching machine to the UFO.

Older notes but possibly still applicable:

-The introduction to the aliens should be a shadowshot.

-When Brad gets angry at the alien he should only shrug his shoulders and take a step forward.

-After the whole part when luisa talks to Brad and calms him down we want to keep the alien slide that ends with the Taunt. but loose the kiss, that's pushing a bit too far.

-Since this project is very sensitive as to how politically correct it should be, we have to loose all the ass shake jokes through out the whole piece.

-When Mikey gets to the bat and both baseballs shoot out Mikey swings back and forth.

-Take more time with the gag where the aliens are full with the candy and the ball falls right in between them and one of them belches. Take more beats to do the gag.

-For the final shot. we should have a tracking shot as they walk out into the distance as we shift to the confidence card for the final shot.

Obviously some things have already been dealt with and changes have happened in the script but it's never bad to review things that have been said especially by our director and producers
