Title: MLP Descriptive Script attempt Author: Anonymous Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/dZZQukxJ First Edit: Saturday 5th of October 2013 09:59:35 AM CDT Last Edit: Saturday 5th of October 2013 09:59:35 AM CDT [Cold Open] [~5 seconds of black screen in which the dialogue is being heard] Twilight 001: (add some powerful urgency and intonation in the voice like she's giving a desperate order) Spikeeee!!! NO!! not in here!!   Visuals are now allowed: Green sparkly explosion with loud boom sfx and camera trembling. Dissipate the sparkly green smoke completely in the span of 4 seconds. sfx playing: coughing Description: Reveal Twilight and Spike sitting in the library in broad daylight. The background: The library is all messed up with books thrown all over the place. 3 or 5 books on fire , some books are still falling. There's a ladder there too, keep it consistent till the action is over. [The characters: Spike holds his tail, and his eyes dart around looking at what he caused. 3/4 view Twilight, she looks irritated but calm, with thick eyebrows, also she has large pupils. Spike is positioned to the left side where the door is, Twilight is positioned in the middle. Twilight has a small fire on her mane, but it slowly goes out without any damages, just a tiny bit of detail. Action: Wait 2 seconds, then make the ladder fall down and wait 2 more seconds to let it sink in, also before proceeding with Twilight's actions. (Please no dramatic music for this silent moment) Change the camera to Twilight's ''Not this shit again'' expression, use the head-shot view. After the ladder falls down and the 2seconds pass. She blinks and then moves her head to focus on Spike.(2 seconds action) She opens her mouth a little like a subtle sigh before her 'lips' start moving and words come out of her mouth.   Twilight 002: (speak slowly like a depressed sighing voice, but once you get to the word ''stop'' start talking more powerful and pissed off. Carry this through the next line. ) How many times have I told you to Stop eating foods with pepper, for pony's sake. Spike I thought you were smarter than this. Spike 003: (Smug like a smartass, talk moderately fast.) Well you are the one keeping a dragon in a library, and flames don't go well with paper, so I'd say in the long run it's your fault.   Twilight raises her head with a surprised expression then lowers her head slowly, her expression getting more and more glaring(more severe), her mouth is still shut. The camera zooms in slowly on her face(but keep her entire expression on the screen), the background darkens and the whistling tea pot sound effect is heard. [Outside of the Library] All looks peaceful for a few seconds till... Spike 004: AAAAAHHHH!!! From the right side Spike breaks through the door yelling with a deep terrified voice and runs to the left, running from a volley of books being thrown from the right. (Insert funny music in here like from Tom&Jerry, but not too goofy,no dissonant notes. It needs to have some action because it's a chase sequence. The music should be constant, not inconsistent.) Twilight 005: (You can still say in real life ''you piece of shit'' and ''son of a bitch'', the editors will edit it out. It will sound more natural if you say the full phrase) YOU LITTLE PIECE OF ,*book gets thrown* SON OF A *books gets thrown again*. (the books act like a muffler for censoring) (note that Twilight is still not on the screen)   Spike is nearly exiting the left side of the screen when Twilight appears at the door, shooting the books with her magic. [Switch camera to shoulder view for Twilight] Spike is running for the hills while Twilight continous to throw books with all her might. [Center moderate camera on Spike] Spike dodges all the fast, high velocity book projectiles, the books go under him(he jumps), past his head(he ducks)(keep his momentum/running), etc. (the books go past him they don't hit the ground, but you can add them later in the background for consistency's sake) After Spike dodges most of the books(the music gets muffled here) Spike stops a little and talks before running. Spike 005: (laughing& pig snorting) Hahaaha..., you can't, you can't even aim! aha. He then throws a rasberry.   Show Twilight's reaction to the aim comment; She grins, snorts and her eyes focus...like she's thinking ''challenge accepted/It is on''.) (Add a whipcrack and a cowboy theme) Spike gives an ''oh shit'' expression and quickly runs off for the hills. (This is where the chase sequence music should start building up for an end.) The camera slowly switches to a wide angle as Spike runs off getting smaller as he keeps running through the hills background. (add the sfx for the long range ballista, for the book) Once he gets on top of the third hill, the one book hits him right on the head and he falls flat on the ground (sfx for Spike getting hit: A powerful punch or an explosive of sorts. The music ends funnily on three notes) [Fade out] [Intro song; My little pony, my little pony!!]   NOTES: Don't make the first scenes rushed not till Spike breaks out of that door, we need the silent comedic timing. For the chase sequence try to keep the constant action; don't let Twilight's swearing/talking interrupt the flow. The only pause happens after Spike stops and Twilight makes a serious face. (unless somebody removes that scene and the action is kept in one part) Make it funny and genuinely intense, not goofy and cheesy.
