Felis' Belated Entry
Sorry guys, I've been insanely busy the whole week.
I want to do a couple of scenes. The first one is scene 5, "Fred calls Buck" This is the bikini scene. I want to start the camera with an extreme closeup on the nuclear mushroom cloud on the bikini bottoms, and then slowly zoom out to reveal a female body. While this is happening, the soundtrack will either be of the previous scenes when the men are discussing Condition Red, or some other radio/other discussion of nuclear arms. The camera doesn't show the woman's bust or face yet, because they are blocked by a sun reflector board. The voice soundtrack slowly fades into the ringing phone, with the volume intensifying with each ring, meanwhile the camera is slowly zooming in on the reflector. Suddenly, the reflector collapses and a woman's face in big sun glasses and her bikini top with oil pumps on each cup are revealed. She reluctantly picks up the phone...and the conversation begins, maybe. I'm not sure whether I want her(myself) to say anything at all and let the scene play out in the background (green screen), or to re-enact the scene with another art girl who would play Buck. Thoughts?
My other scene/s would be scene 12, "Ambassador De Sadesky," where I will make an entrance wearing a pretty dark and drab communist garb with all kinds of communist pins on the jacket. I'll be speaking Russian the whole time. I'll demand a Cuban cigar (of course), Osetra caviar, blini, pirogi, a bottle of Stolichnaya, and Russian tea from a Samovar. DA, SAMOVAR! MENYA NE VOLNUET OTKUDA VI EGO VOS'METE!!!!
In the other scenes featuring De Sadesky, I'll continue pigging out at the conference table--while others are discussing the situation-- with caviar dripping out of the blini, cigar ash everywhere, a cup of steaming tea standing next to the bottle of Stolichnaya with a shot glass and a samovar in the background. I may do one vodka shot and curse the Americans for a bad imitation and demand THE REAL THING.
Basically, I'll be totally unpleasant, until I learn that the bomb has been dropped. Then I'll get extremely emotional and finish the whole bottle in one gulp. Something like that.
