The New World Wall
Eric is bugging me to post some of my design ideas. I didn't find much time over the weekend, but now I'm in class, so I have lots of time.
I'd like the back wall of New World to be painted with this picture of Bruce Lee (go to the extended entry to take a look), except with a few changes. 1) I'd like the door to be Bruce's wide open mouth. Naturally this will mean that the image needs to be manipulated a bit, but I don't think that should be a big problem. 2) I'd like a red slip-n-slide to be coming out of Bruce's mouth (the door). This way, characters can be spit out of his mouth with a gush of water/saliva. 3) I'd like the dragon's eyes to be television screens so that I could change the eye positions and make them light up with flaming fury when certain things happened onstage. 4) Bruce's teeth would be a giant, nutcracker-like lever thing. Someone backstage could control it so that Bruce could talk or bite at different characters. This would be especially funny if (when) Bruce bites his tongue. Imagine with me for a moment: some character shoots out of Bruce's mouth along with some mouthy juices, the dragons' eyes light up with fury, bruce chomps down but misses the character, Bruce bites his tongue, pained noises come from backstage, the dragons' eyes light up with more fury, fire shoots out from everywhere. It'll be great.
Oh yeah, there will be one character who has a woodchipper for a leg (a la Bruce Campbell). This will be a little less convenient than a chainsaw arm. The character will need to limp around and try to stick his leg onto other people so that he can shred them. Shred them like Fargo.
