BTTF Tribute Episode 2
Hey dudes and dudettes!
The script is coming along nicely, we'll start shooting soon-ish.
As you know, everybody is welcomed to join us. If you wanna jump in, just send me a PM and, preferably, a photo of you.
I'm asking for a photo because if you really really really look like someone from the movies, you most likely will get to reference that character. For instance, Mr. Tarasis' haircut landed him the part of Doc Brown. Hehe
So:
- PM
- a photo
- and also please mention who you'd really really like to play
- if you have a preference and/or and idea, write that as well
Now, for those who already played in the first episode, I will contact you guys with a script as soon as I have your part ready. Lemme just write the names here of people who should be expecting a PM soon enough...
Also, the guys and girls who appeared in the awesome "Let Us All Tell the Tale" are cordially invited to join in.
The more, the merrier. ...Is that how you spell "merrier"? Awkward.
That's about it!

Sounds great! Last tribute's been so much fun, I'm queueing (do you spell it like this? I doesn't even look like a word anymore. xD), how could I turn down such a nice invitation?
I'll send you some lines soon-ish. I'm making preparations and you may be surprised of the lines you get.
Woah? You've already got some lines? Boy, you're quick! :eek:
All in a day's work
I'm also planning a musical number for everybody, but that will be towards the end of the bttf game.
I'll send in some stuff to you when I get a minute. Probably tomorrow...
Shucks and there I thought it was tribute song recording
I am so in! I have been in so many plays and productions through out my whole entire life! I can sing and act! As for me, even though that i am a girl, I would love to be Marty Mcfly! i have actually written the whole back to the future scripts from all of the movies and I have memorized Marty and Doc's lines, and as well as all of the main characters as well! I have also written alot of my own stories, and this recent one was a time travel story as well! In my life, I was and still is a Marty Mcfly though out middle school, high school and also now in collage! Even at my job, they call me Mcfly! I even have the whole Marty Mcfly outfit including the avadiers! But since I am in the US, who are you going to do this? Will u still need my pic and what is a PM?
Awesome!
Now, Trenchfoot, please send me a PM as I originally asked. EDIT: actually, scratch that. I don't think you'll improve too much on your settings... unless you actually surprise me this time.
Marty-Girl, welcome to the forums
a PM is a Personal Message. You can send me one through the forum system, or if you're more comfortable with e-mail, just send me an e-mail to silverwolfpet at yahoo dot com.
To understand what exactly are we doing, please check out this link:

You'll get it as soon as you see the clip.
I need the photos of new people (aka the ones I haven't worked with until now) because you will receive a role based upon two criteria:
1. Who do you want to play
2. Who do you look like
As far as I understood, you like Marty. A lot. So you will probably get this part (don't worry Origami, I know what I'm doin', you're safe
I need to see the costume to get an idea of framing (if you only have the vest it would be pointless to show your entire body).
I also need to see the background for ideas... If you have, for example, a ton of empty cardboard boxes in the background I will most likely ask you to use them as you act. (aka I'll write it in the script).
Once I get your photo and see that you are committed to the project, I will include you in the script which will be handed out to everyone shortly.
Asking for a picture also represents a way to see if one is able to do simple tasks and/or if one is able to pay attention to what I say/write.
For example, Trenchfoot would love to join... yet he didn't listen to my advice regarding some filming directions in out last project. So I know that I can't really rely on his videos, therefore his part will be written according to his way of working (against the sunlight). Yes, Trenchfoot, I didn't forget...I never will... and once a year I will come by your house and steal your front porch light-bulb.
...I don't know why, but it seems like an appropriate vengeance-plan.
Don't get me wrong, one can join in no matter how bad his videos are...but I need to know exactly how much effort are you willing to show so I can write your part accordingly.
So, Marty-Grill...pardon, Girl! Show me whatcha got
EDIT: By the way, script is almost ready. Wanna join? Last chance.
EDIT 2: Four pages ready!
EDIT 3: Okay, first draft finished. Six pages in. Lookin' cool. Now, do you people want to see it or do you prefer just to get your lines and that's it? Last time, the element of surprise was the awesome part...nobody knew what the other was doing.
I guess Silverwolfpet put me in the surprise camp.
Camp?
I want to be surprised, too.
I guess I'll go with everyone else, and say surprise me.
I'll give you all bits and pieces, not just lines. Origami's idea seems to apply nicely to all. Satisfies a bit of curiosity while it doesn't spoil the entire scene.
Now... this is much more important:
Do you prefer the situation in which everybody has a fixed number of lines (let's say 8 per character) or do you prefer sacrificing one or two lines for the dialogue to be funnier/snappier?
For instance, Bill and Bob.
Bill: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Bob: I don't know.
Bill: To get on the other side!
Ba-da-dish!! Hahaha...
Bob: Oh, I get it now.
> Bob's line is not necessary, but the characters have an equal number of lines. Which do you guys prefer?
Trenchfoot, joking aside dude, how do you plan on filming your stuff. If you're gonna give us dark shots again, I need to implement that in the script. Please let me know.
Awesome! But the porch light-bulb is not worth the trouble. Wouldn't you prefer to steal my socks? Just like trolls. But only the left ones. What's with that??
Seriously, I think I'm getting a new camera by next month, so I promise I work with lights properly. Thanks for giving me still another chance!
Trenchfoot, you always have a chance, buddy! We all do! I'm not giving you anything. I was merely interested in the lights, that's all. The cam is good.
Socks come in pairs of left and right?! Aren't they interchangeable? Awkward. My sock drawer just gained +1 respect from me.
I started sending out the scripts. Weeblerjake, you're next
EDIT: Sent about 5 by now...taking a small break.
People have a positive feedback when they read their lines, so I guess they like them.
Thanks for joining, guys and girls! This is turning out to be...kind of crazy, but fun nontheless
Sorry for the double post.
Scripts sent to everybody.
Divisionten was the quickest of you all! She sent in her video and I can't wait to see yours as well!
I barely managed to squeeze three more actors, just in time.
Now we play the waiting game... I wait, you work and send (through mediafire please, it's faster for everybody).
Afterwards, I work, you wait.
Isn't this fun?
That's what he said.
(runs)
Ok, Now that I have already seen the video and I have read the script, how do i say my lines? Can i like have some of my friends read the other lines before mine and then say my lines? Or, do u just want me to d the screaming? Just so u know that I have the whole entire outfit of Marty But the vest is blue, instead of red! I got that thing along time ago and my parents got it! Shit, wished it was blue! But since we r doing BTTF 2, do u want me to have that outfit too? I do have it except for the 1950's hat and sunglasses!What did u mean to orgiami that u knew what u were doing and that she is safe? is she going to end up being the real Marty? With the screaming that I am involved, I really dont scream like a girl! I may not even look like Marty, But I do have his personality and attitude! As my car, I have an 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier and I call my car 001 Delorean! ha! Even when I am driving, I listen to the BTTF sound track all the time! With all of the stuff that I will be turning in to you, I am going to prove to u that can be Marty Mcfly! No body calls me chicken or yellow belly!
Marty1, For the first one I only had my lines so with a video camera, I simply recorded them with pauses between them and let Silverwolfpet simply cut the video to his tastes. You could do several takes of the same line / action to give him the best options (for instance I think I tripped over 3 or 4 times).
BTW we aren't doing BTTF2, we are doing episode 2 (of 5) of the BTTF tribute video, so you don't have to worry about the 50's outfit.
Ok I sent you a PM and alot of other questions! Hopfully that U have gotten them!
Err, yeah, what he said.
I'm glad you're hyped about this, Marty1, but take it easy, it's not that complicated. Just film yourself following the lines and indications in the script.
In the worst case scenario, you mess up and I tell you what needs to be redone. Relax
EDIT: I get the feeling that you think this is a Marty McFly Wannabe contest. It's not. It's a tribute to BTTF. A funny-crazy situation in which fans are fighting over roles. That is part of the story... nobody is fighting over any role, ok?
And Origami is a dude, not a "she".
For the screaming part, if you can't scream, just mimic the scream and I'll add in the sound effects.
