ST is Funnier Help Required. See in IM the tentative script that KD and I are using to shoot a mock eHarmony ad that will be part of our reception.

Posted by Name Withheld By Request (aka BlueKopo) Aug 3 '10, 13:57

Suggestions for "Added Funny" would be appreciated. It's getting professional shot and editted, so we'll have some ability to play with it.

The script:

*opens*

Luc: I was on eHarmony for over four years. With their personality questionnaire and their compatibility process, it took effort. But I guess I liked that because it meant I was only meeting women who were also committed to finding a meaningful relationship. It felt like a serious commitment.

KD: I was on for a free weekend.

Luc:Took a lot of time and a lot of money.

KD: I wanted to take advantage of a website where people were putting in a lot of time and a lot of money into the process. It meant that they were serious.

Luc: Took me over four years to find KD, but it was so worth it when I did.

KD: Luc was the only guy who replied to me quickly enough during the eHarmony process that I could get his email address before the free weekend was over.

Voice Over: We thoroughly pre-screen your matches for you based on 29 dimensions of deep, meaningful, compatibility, like intellect, values and character.

KD: The first thing that attracted me to Luc was his height.

Luc: The first thing that attracted me to KD was her height.

Voice Over: At eHarmony, we use an in-depth questionnaire to get to know the real you, so that we can match you based on compatibility.

KD: I think I enjoyed the "must haves" and "can't stands" the most. You just lay it out there and people can see what's most important to you. Take it or leave it. For example, my number nine "must have"? "Staying in...I must have a partner who mainly enjoys staying in together and having quiet evenings alone or with close friends."

Luc: I'm a very outgoing person. I deal with a lot of people in my day-to-day interactions, in work, politics and time with friends. Being social is part of who I am and it was important that I found someone to share that with. I was sure eHarmony would match me with someone just like that!

KD: One of our early dates was at the Art Gallery.

Luc: The tour guide asked the group a question and was looking for a response. No one was saying anything...

KD: In my head, I'm begging him not to say anything and draw attention to ourselves.

Luc: The poor guide was just left hanging, scanning the group for somebody to answer.

KD: Please don't say anything. Please don't say anything.

Luc: So I helped out the tour guide and gave an answer.

KD: He gave an answer.

Voice Over: Let eHarmony find the love of your life. Review all your matches for free at eHarmony.ca.

Luc: *unscripted answers*

KD: *unscripted answers*

Luc: She supports my crazy dreams and crazy schemes.

KD: So far.

*insert KD & Luc shot with "Karen Dawn & Luc, Matched June 28th, 2008.....Married September 18th, 2010"

Voice Over: eHarmony.ca....Aren't you curious to see who you would be matched with?

KD *voice over logo*: I wonder what would have happened if I paid...

Responses:

will this be up so it can go viral like the couple who had their wedding party dance into the ceremony? it's very funny - well done -- nm - JenBro Aug 3, 14:51
I like it. I'd be very tempted to fill it full of inside jokes and nods to loved ones in attendance, but well done. -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 14:30
nice. how about a subtle change from shot to shot like ... - zork Aug 3, 14:21
nice. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 14:12
ha -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 14:08
Awesome. You should love art and culture, she should hate it. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 14:07
a) its awesome. b) perhaps replace "He gave an answer." with *facepalm* or something similar. - TFox Aug 3, 14:05 11
- (also, what was the specific answer and question? might make it a hair funnier, esp if its very knowitall or obscure...) -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 14:07 10
  - Good suggestion on the forehead slap if she doesn't deliver it well enough with a sigh in her tone. Re: The question...Nothing special. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 3, 14:09 9
    - (if you think she'd really sell a good headdesk, that'd be ideal. even if it was the only shot with a desk.) - TFox Aug 3, 14:13
    - i think the actual question and answer, even if slightly fudged if you can't remember, make the story a little better. that's me. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 14:10 7
      - yeah, because it sounds like the answer is the punchline. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:13 6
        
        him: so i told her i thought they were a great representation of modern lighting technique... her: *headdesk* -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 14:15 5
        
        Or go with a simple silent look at the camera, like in The Office - Guigue Aug 3, 14:20 2
        
        I vote this. If she can deliver the subtlety, this kills. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 15:02
        
        yes, this. "The Pam". -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 14:26
        
        I like it. That perfect and it'll let me work H.R. Giger into a wedding clip and anytime you can do that, you just have to. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 3, 14:19
        
        there ya go. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:15
great close. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:02
the last line kills. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 14:00 2
- yes indeed -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 14:19
- Yup -- nm - Guigue Aug 3, 14:18
