Script
Chance and Felix set about writing the script for our video and the voice over is to be done by Chance. So, this is our script (lifted from Felix’s blog).
[ext.] Shot of street, a woman walks past a man and brushes against him. This causes her to sneeze on him, he looks at the marks on his coat in disgust cue narration
Narrator: Tired of taking this crap? Sick of getting pushed around, you need…RIOT SHIELD!
[ext.] The same scene, where the woman walks past him again, except this time when she sneezes he raises the riot shield blocks her sneeze and pushes her away. This causes her to fall back over a low wall.
Narrator: See how he kicked her ass? With the Riot Shield, you’ll be able to KICK ASS LIKE THIS GUY! This shield doesn’t just block, it does so much more…
[ext.] A man in a suit is hurridly trying to get to work but a crowd of people blocks his path. He has a face of desperation
Narrator: This guys late for work, does he take it like a man? Hell no! He uses RIOT SHIELD!
[ext.] Cuts to the same scene where this time he begins to run towards the crowd with a Riot Shield. The scene cuts to black just as he reaches them, and you here the sounds of chaos as it is obvious he is smashing his way through. The scene then comes back and we see him on the other side of the crowd who have all been pushed to the ground, one of the men looks up shocked at him.
Narrator: Oh, was that his boss he just Riot Shielded? Well…WHO’S THE BOSS NOW? RIOT SHIELD IS!
[ext.] Cuts to a street scene. A man is walking down the street with a Riot Shield on his back. A bird flies over and he looks up to see a “shadow” descending towards him. Just as its about to hit him, the camera freezes.
Narrator: You’re walking down the street and you get assaulted. Not by a person, but by fecal matter. Bird crap, horse crap, cow crap, dog crap. Cant take the abuse, BULL CRAP! Nothing beats Riot Shield!
[ext.] The camera resumes but he stops the crap just in time.
[int.] Cuts to a girl screaming at man inside a house (more specifically a lounge). He’s trying to ignore her but he cant take it anymore so he raises his shield up and her shouting is drowned out. He then continues to watch TV whilst she continues to shout at him.
Narrator: Hot wife, giving you lip? Her time of the month? Then no worries! Riot Shield has anti menstruation technology. MENSTROLOGY TECHNOLOGY!
[int.] There’s a table where dinner has been laid on for a dinner party. The guests are having a good time apart from the man, who is having a hard time from a woman who repeatedly points back to his wife. She is obviously his mother in law. He put his face into his hands and sighs.
Narrator: Now what’s worse than a torrent of needless blood and abuse?! Mother in Laws! Giant mother in laws, GIANT MAWS! Maw giving you a migraine, push her off YOUR property with the RIOT SHIELD!
[int.] The mother in law is still nagging, the man stands up resolutely and picks up his riot shield. He then proceeds to push her out of the house and onto the street.
[ext.] Cuts a garden. The wife is still having a go at her husband. In her rage, she picks up watermelons and throws them violently her husband. He defends himself with the Riot Shield.
Narrator: Riot Shield protects against all kinds of massed food attacks. Mashed potato, apples, cabbages, pies, bricks and even WATERMELONS! RIOT SHIELD!
[int.] Its a still shot of a lounge, santa claus is trying to get into a house for christmas. He gets out from the fireplace and stands up and begins to walk to the door. A man with Riot Shield is in his way, Santa smells something and with a look of fear runs back towards the fire place and gets into the chimney.
Narrator: Annoying round red objects still getting you down? Colorful overly joyful Buddhist hobo’s trying to break in every winter? Good news. Riot Shield has a coating of Bad Santa repellent, BANTAPELLENT!
[ext.] It is a scene of horror. The world is portrayed (albeit poorly) as a zombie infested apocalyptic place where the apparent last man is standing watching as a horde of zombies comes towards him. As they approach he unslings his Riot Shield and proceeds to beat them back.
Narrator: When the unthinkable happens and the streets are full of hungary, mindless, flesh eating zombies. Protect yourself with RIOT SHIELD!
[Final Shot] Its now a shot of the Riot Shield on display with payment information shown. Jokes are made such as the price is $9.99 but the shipping is $400 and the deal is only in effect for the next 10 seconds.
Narrator: RIOT SHIELD! GET IT NOW! Warning, does not actually protect against riots. Call now or you chance will be lost forever, Riot Shield are not responsible for any harm you may and probably will incur from using the Riot Shield product because quite frankly your an idiot.
