TVOKids Show host Laura sits on a couch wearing all black. She holds a camera and a clap board.
Laura says, SO YOU WANNA MAKE A MOVIE,
HUH?
YOU WANNA BE A STAR?
(Record scratching)
Laura says, HONESTLY, SAME.
BUT YOU CAN MAKE ONE
RIGHT AT HOME.
ALL YOU NEED IS A CAMERA
AND YOUR IMAGINATION.
NOW FOLLOW THESE
FOOLPROOF TIPS
IF YOU WANNA MAKE THE MOVIE
OF A LIFETIME.
Laura snaps the clapboard.
She says, ACTION!
Text over Laura reads, Feel Good Faves. Laura works on a computer.
She says, START OFF WITH A SCRIPT.
YOU'LL NEED AMAZING CHARACTERS
WITH COMPLEX PLOTLINES
THAT ARE HARD TO FOLLOW.
JUST KIDDING,
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
YOU'LL ALSO NEED A GENRE.
WHETHER IT'S ROMANCE,
COMEDY, WESTERN,
POST-MODERN SURREALISM,
I DON'T CARE, JUST PICK ONE!
I'M CHOOSING SCI-FI.
(Dramatic Sci-Fi music plays)
Laura’s eyes twitch.
She says, LOCK DOWN A LOCATION.
I'M CHOOSING
MY LIVING ROOM.
CHECK.
Laura checks off a box labeled living room on list titled location.
She says, NEXT IS CASTING.
NOW, THIS ONE'S TRICKY.
MAKE SURE YOU FIND THE RIGHT
CREATURE FOR THE ROLE.
Laura looks at a picture of a dog named Lola on her laptop.
Laura says, SHE'S PERFECT.
HI, IS THIS LOLA THE DOG?
YES, WE WERE THRILLED
WITH YOUR CREDITS
AND WE'D LOVE TO OFFER YOU
THE ROLE OF ALIEN ONE
IN THE UPCOMING SHORT,
LIFE ON THE MOON.
Lola sits on a chair with a phone beside her.
Laura asks, DO YOU ACCEPT?
Lola lowers her head.
Laura says, WONDERFUL, WE CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE YOU ON SET.
STAY TUNED
FOR CALL TIMES.
Laura ends her phone call.
She says, NOW IT'S TIME
TO FILM.
LET'S TAKE IT FROM
THE TOP.
(Opera music plays)
Laura gestures dramatically around a camera on a tripod.
She says, THAT WAS A PERFORMANCE!
I KNOW,
WE'RE SO BEHIND.
LET THAT SINK
INTO YOUR CELLS,
WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT'S JUST THAT THAT LIGHTING
SETUP TOOK SO LONG!
I WANT YOU TO FEEL IT!
Laura sighs.
She asks, WHAT CAN WE DROP?
Laura holds the camera.
She says, CUT!
OKAY, CAN WE TRY THAT AGAIN
WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT
MORE EMOTION ON
THE SECOND BOOP?
Lola sits in front of a green screen wearing an alien costume.
(Alien-like booping)
Laura says, PERFECT, OKAY.
WHATEVER THAT IS, USE THAT.
ALL RIGHT PEOPLE, THIS IS
THE LAST TAKE BEFORE LUNCH,
WE'RE GOING AGAIN!
AND, ACTION.
On the couch, Laura says, HOT TIP, ALWAYS PROVIDE SNACKS
AS THE DAY CAN BE QUITE LONG.
IN THE REAL WORLD,
THEY CALL THIS CRAFT SERVICES.
Laura places a plate of food on a table. She stands behind the
Laura says, NOW YOU TWO, OKAY,
REMEMBER YOU'VE BEEN IN SPACE
FOR 30 YEARS,
RIGHT?
JUST THE TWO OF YOU, SO YOU KNOW
EACH OTHER WELL BY NOW.
An astronaut character says, OKAY.
Laura says, WE REALLY WANNA SEE THAT
RELATIONSHIP COME THROUGH.
REMEMBER, THAT'S WHAT FILM'S ALL
ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.
The character says, OKAY, UH-HUH.
Laura says, POSITIONS,
LET'S TAKE IT FROM THE TOP.
ACTION!
The character says, 40 YEARS WE'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR LIFE ON THE MOON.
Laura says, AND, CUT!
THAT'S A WRAP ON
LIFE ON THE MOON,
PEOPLE.
AMAZING, WE'LL SEE YOU ALL
AT THE PREMIERE!
A count down reads, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. A rocket ship takes off. An astronaut stands on the moon. Text reads, Lola as Alien One. Laura as everyone else. The moon rotates. Text reads, Life on the Moon. A rocket ship lands on the moon.
A person says, CAPTAIN MARSHMALLOW,
WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR LIFE
ON THE MOON FOR OVER 30 YEARS
AND HAVEN'T FOUND A TRACE.
Captain Marshmallow asks, WHAT'S YOUR POINT,
LIEUTENANT HOT DOG?
Lieutenant Hot Dog says, MY POINT IS,
IT MIGHT BE TIME TO GO HOME.
Captain marshmallow says, I FEAR YOU MIGHT
BE RIGHT,
BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH,
AND HERE IT IS FAST:
I'VE DEDICATED MY ENTIRE LIFE
TO THIS MISSION.
WE'VE BEEN HERE SEARCHING
ON LIFE FOR THE MOON
FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AND YET WE
HAVEN'T FOUND A TRACE.
BUT HERE'S THE REAL TRUTH,
LIEUTENANT HOT DOG.
I MIGHT NOT HAVE FOUND
LIFE ON THE MOON,
BUT I FOUND SOMETHING BETTER,
A FRIEND, IN YOU.
Lieutenant Hot Dog nods.
Captain marshmallow says, AND WHAT MORE COULD
YOU NEED IN LIFE
THAN A FRIEND,
LIEUTANT HOT DOG?
I THINK IT'S TIME
WE LET HOUSTON KNOW
WE'RE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME.
Lieutenant Hot Dog says, HOUSTON?
PREPARE FOR RETURN.
THIS IS LIEUTENANT HOT DOG
WITH CAPTAIN MARSHMALLOW.
OVER AND OUT,
WE WILL BE RETURNING.
Lieutenant Hot Dog looks down.
They say, OOH, MY LUCKY PENNY!
Lieutenant Hot Dog leans down. Lola as a green alien appears behind them. Lieutenant Hot Dog sits up again.
They say, GUESS IT DIDN'T WORK AFTER ALL.
Captain marshmallow says, HOUSTON?
PREPARE FOR LANDING!
(Alien-like booping)
Alien Lola stands on the moon.
(Applause)
