Topic: Star Wars Parody: Shoot like a storm trooper

The title should say it all, but in case you're not sure, here is the screenplay:

I'm not sure if you call this a storyboard - but here is something that should work if I have permissions right (fingers crossed):

PLEASE PAUSE THE AVI TO READ THE STORYBOARD CORRECTLY.

The storyboard is not complete yet because I haven't finalised the screenplay.  I've got some options outlined in the PDF.  I'm happy to take suggestions on all things - especially the punchline.  Unfortunately, I don't have a large collection so I'm restricted in that space.  I had a friend say that an ewok should enter with a pizza, see the 'aggressors' and do his kung-fu magic on the troopers, because we all know that ewoks kick trooper but.

I've done the opening scene already and did a practice run of the top-down view but I'll have to redo that as I don't like it much.

I'll also introduce you to Chloe and Jake.  Notice Jake has a hat - you can't see that in the storyboard.

Any feedback on puns, angles, etc would be helpful.

Nothing exciting - but here is a frame from the second scene:

A running scene - the red is from the "red alert" caused by something not good.

I've probably shot about a third of the film - haven't done any editing - and I'm dreading a four mini-fig running scene that is essential to the plot.  mini/rolleyes

Edit: how to get images to work on this site??

So this isn't a trailer - but a three second teaser to get the imagination working.

I know this thread has whipped up a frenzy of excitement, but just wanted to say the final scene has been shot.  YAY!  mini/sunnies

This has only taken about 5 weeks but geebus it has felt like months.

Sucks no one has replied. mini/lol Anyway, the premise is pretty funny, and the teaser clip seems pretty good.
