This is the assignment I gave over a week ago to the Action Comedy Crew:

(In nice cursive letters) Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is:

DEMONSTRATE HOW THE MOST EVIL VILLAIN IN THE WORLD BECAME EVIL:

The scene, approximately five minutes long, must include:

-no more than 3 speaking lines, all of which much include a hyperbole
-30 seconds of song and dance (synchronization optional)
-surveillance
-15 seconds of just really loud noise
-15 seconds of intense staring
-an innocent bystander

I learned a lot from the scene. Some of the more prominent lessons are . . .

-if you hide people and make it sound like they're getting punched and kicked and slammed around, the audience feels like they really are being beaten up.

-the audience has to be taken into account for all decisions

-space must be used wisely

-inanimate objects are people too
