Input on a new TV show

[Haunted hearse]

Does anyone have any advice for building our lab of a set? We're trying to figure out a cheap way to go about it, as far as the background props go.

If you have a chance, see "The Lost Skeleton of Cadaver" (I think) In the cometary, they got a pegboard, painted it silver, and attached a whole bunch of gauges they bought on Ebay.  A huge lever should be part of the wall decor.  Maybe an operating type table, another table where you can put various chemicals and other scientific paraphernalia, and if you can, maybe use an electrical device that creates a "Jacobs Ladder".

TheHawk's roommate is an engineer and promised to build us a Jacob's Ladder. He's also Asian, so we're good  to go! lol

I've seen that film, but forgot about how crude the set was. Thanks for the reminder! I don't think we'll have an operating table (doesn't happen in the script), but we will definitely have some sort of desk with lots of stuff (including a brain in a jar, labled "J. Black", the name of one of our Media professors)

Good news and bad news! Bad news, our budget is only based on ads sold. Good news! You can buy ads that will run on Mercer99 in the Middle Georgia area, as well as online. $25 will get you a 30 second ad, and every dollar goes to DBLOH, and nothing else! We will greatly need all the help we can get! We will even put the ads on our website ad extra incentive!

[Dr. Blasko]

We are really unsure if we can get enough ads to get the show going, especially since 0 spaces have been purchased. We're getting very worried that this project will get stalled

$25/30 secs and no local businesses will bite? That's pathetic! Seriously, the economy may be bad, but $25 bucks is a steal! What're you charging to shoot the ads for them? Maybe that's the obstacle? I can't understand how a local business that depends on campus dollars could turn down $25 for a 30-second spot, when even $50 would be practically giving ads away!

Nothing. $25 has us shoot it, edit it, and run it.

I tried to E-mail you using this e-mail address.
Braeden.M.Orr(*at*)live.mercer.edu.
Is this correct?

[Dr. Blasko]

Odd, I didn't get anything. Try 10630661(*at*)live.mercer.edu

Oh, actually, there's no . at the end. In my post that was a period. Sorry!

You shoot, edit, and give them 30 seconds for $25?! And no one's bit on that? That's theft, man! People should be beating down your doors for that rate! If I had ANYTHING to sell, I'd jump at that price!

We've got one ad currently, thanks to haunted hearse. That'll buy what's left for Blasko and Fritz's costumes, so there's that, at least. If you could guys, spread the word! This really is a great deal if you have any type of business, product, project, etc.

I'm thinking of starting a 900 line dedicated to primate dating. Squatch Match.com

If you want to advertise it, I've got your hook up

[Monster Bob]

You need to shoot and air a pilot. It would be tough to get anyone to finance a "concept".

[Dr. Blasko]

This is all done through our college. Our hands are tied. Besides, let's say worst case scenario the show doesn't come to be. The ads will still run on TV and online on other programming.

[Dr. Blasko]

Well, we're putting in our own money now to help fund the show. We are still selling ads, so everyone is more than welcome to shill whatever they may have!

HauntedHearse, I'm working on your ad. I had family in town all week so its been a VERY slow process. I'm also moving on Friday, so it may be until the weekend before you see the final ad. Regardless, it and the others will be ready for the first episode's debut.
