Furby Video Project Invite

Video Project Tentative Script:

Message: Working together “smiles”

Scene:

Some kind of lab with a group of doctors/technicians wearing lab coats working around a central table and a single bright overhead light shining down on what they’ re working on, the rest of the room is mostly in the dark. Books and manuals are scattered along one wall as if they were recently consulted and then dropped in place, along another wall is the “bone yard” (boxes of spare and/or broken vanilla technology parts), some organization of the parts but more utilitarian than neat.

Script:

CAMERA in at floor level facing the tech team around the table and works about a third of the way in a circle around them, gradually raising to shoulder level (no faces). The team can be heard working before anything can be clearly made out by the camera, some random chatter but mostly checking and rechecking the “unknown” steps be performed on the unknown object:

TECH 1

OK, I THINK I HAVE IT IN IT’S PROPER ORIENTATION. CAN YOU ADJUST THE LIGHT A BIT

TECH2 reaches up and moves the light minutely

HOW’S THAT?

TECH1 OK

TECH3
I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE THAT ABOUT ANOTHER MILLIMETER TO YOUR LEFT

TECH2
NO, SHE HAS IT RIGHT

TECH1
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK WITH THE MANUAL?

TECH3 reaches behind for some binders, flipping through pages can be heard (but not seen)
DAMN, WHERE IS THAT SECTION?

TECH1
GREAT, NOW MY NOSE ITCHES…

TECH4
FORGET THAT, I’M NOT TOUCHING YOUR NOSE

TECH1
OH … NEVER MIND
The faint sound of a nose being rubbed by a lab ocat sleeve
