Max Moment in my Movie

[Road Samurai]

Check this out. My bro got married three weeks back and I filmed it for him. Well, I wanted to do some hilarious stuff at the end of the film and I decided on one scene that would be funny and fun to shoot. I went over to the elementary school near my house and got onto the student pick-up, drop off parking area. It is not big but it has a small road parallel to the main one that is strictly for parents picking up kids. Here's what I did. I set up the camera half way down the road and drove my car from the far end straight on towards it. Then, I put the camera on the hood of my car so it was looking right at the steering wheel and my face. I had the car in park (a very mean Olds Cutlass Supreme with a superb silver paint job and very Max-like) and was flooring the throttle. I had one hand on the wheel moving it around like I was driving but my entire body and face was covered by a map that i was twisting and turning and looking at and hiding the fact that the car was really not moving as it hid the windows and the stationary scenery around me. I looked over the edge of the map and bulged my eyes ad best I could and had a look of horror on my face. Then i set up the camera beside the road and so it could catch me driving by. I went by pretty slowly (hell, I'm on school property, even though it was right after lunch and deserted.) but quick enought to be believable. This is the best part, something i couldn't have planned for: the main road was parallel to the school one and before I drove past a guy on a motor bike on the main road drove towards my position and then out of shot. Here's why this was perfect for the final edit onto large videotape. I took the shot of the bike, and me driving past the camera and made it the first in the scene. Then I cut in the shot of my 'driving blind' and searching desperatly through the map and then looking up in horror. THEN i recorded from the vcr onto the video camera (it has this capability) the scene in Mad Max where the bikers are zooming down farm road (i stopped recording just before max cuts in with the interceptor) and then recorded them racing down the road after he wipes out Johnny. then i cut in with my car coming straight on toward the camera (like max) and then cut in with the bikers crashing. Then i added some scenes of Roop and Charlie arguing and leaving their roadside perch and then subsequent scenes of them roaring down the dirt road and Roop saying "i'm gonna blow im away and sticking the shot gun out the window and Max driving down dirt road and then screeching to a hault and waiting for big bopper. It sounds confusing and awkward but it got the biggest laughs from my and family. They thought it was histerical. The next scene has me saying "That little bit of trouble back there" (that was a mistake, it was the original "confession" i did but it was lousy and i recorded over all the rest except that one sentence, whicha actually i think was needed. The NEXT shot has me in disguise, and they all loved that. I was unrecognizable. SO i go 'psssst, pssst' HEY! IT's me! Listen, since I'm in trouble with the fuzz I thought it was good idea if I took a taxi to the wedding. So i'm here at this taxi place, looking for a taxi driver. Oh, there's one. Hey, Taxi Driver, can I get a ride with you man? Hey, Taxi Driver!" then i cut in with scenes of Deniro from "Taxi Driver" saying "U talking to me?" It goes on back and forth with U talking to me and yeah, I'm talking to you and then Deniro says "Who the fuck do you think your talking to?!" and I cut in with "i think i'm talking to some schizoid, retard, psycho who don't know shit from shinola and i think its about time i came over there and opened a whole can of whoop ass all over you, PUNK! Now, what do you think about that, BITCH!" Deniro: Oh, yeah, Okay." and then pulls out gun and dry fires. "Huh?" Next shot me staring into camera, I take off my sunglasses, my cowboy hat, my mask and stare and then say, "I think i just shit my pants man!" and then I cry. it sounds terrible but it is perfectly edited and hilarious.

You have got to make an avi or mpg out of that and post it.

If you do not have that capability, send me a copy and I will do it for you!!

Not bad, but it would have been funnier, if you and a few friends had driven some motor cycles and ran your brother's wife over. He probably wouldn't find it quite as amusing however.
