Father Torque Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hey everyone, I have yet another great idea. It's called spoof school. It is basically a program that teaches people how to make cool spoofs like whitedragon. Hopefully whitedragon will agree to be the head teacher. It is called spoof school beacuse throughout the spoof school year. 4 weeks. You will create,edit, and reveal your spoof to the Swamp. I see this making the swamp more fun. Since there will be funny spoofs to read. Once I get whitedragons approval I will start asking for Pm's telling me why you think you should be selected. There will be 15 in a class and there will be 2 classes. whitedragon will hopefully teach and I will teach. You will be assigned 2 major projects which are 2 spoofs of your choice. There will be no other homework. Once you have passed spoof school you will recieve a grade and an allumni certificate. I hope all goes well.

Reborn Outcast Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Sound aight to moi. Might be kinda tough though, I'll bet that most people have never put their mind to making a spoof so they don't know if they're good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Torque Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 Dont worry bout time. They dont have to be super long. How bout this. I give you the 4weeks to make a fairly large spoof. And if you dont have like anytime you will make a short one. Me and hopefully whitedragon will send PM's on tips and techniques on making spoofs and give examples whitedragon: High level spoofige Father Torque: Low-Medium spoofige If you are a good spoof maker you can apply as a teacher but you have to send me some spoofs of your own:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Torque Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Chewbacco a spoof is a script or play that us forumers change what we see fit. If you want an example go to whitedragons ep1 spoof. It is basically just a script that is changed to be funny. I personally go to script-o-rama.com to get a movie script then I add and edit it to my liking:) www.script-o-rama.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Sign me up as well! I'd like to be a, well.......a student, possibly. I have a little bit of experience in re-writing scripts to make them sound a little funny. Wrote a little bit of a DBZ spoof replacing most of the characters with some of my old friends a couple years ago, though I won't be giving out names at all!

Rad707_Pandaz Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 A "spoof school"? I've tried to teach enough people to write just regular things (fanfics, spoofs, stories, comics) to know that it's not nearly as simple as it sounds. Especially when the student has no experience in spoofing. Even one with a very active imagination can't get crap off the ground unless they have the control to focus their ability and utilize it to their advantage. And that kind of stuff can't be taught. Only the students can teach themselves that. As everyone who has attempted writing anything before knows, the beginning is the hardest part of ANY story. It's the supreme roadblock. It's the test that they will have to face. For many people, that's where they all stop. To overcome this roadblock, they must have determination, strong dedication, and alot of self-discipline. Only 5% of the people I've seen trying to start a story have ever finished what they started. Only 5% have overcome the supreme roadblock. Once you can overcome that, writing becomes easier and easier. What I am about to say may offend some people. Just know that I mean no offense by it whatsoever, but it must be said. Copying scripts off the internet and altering it is like training wheels. You already have the template to make a spoof. I'm not saying its bad or anything, I'm saying that it would be better used for the students. Once you attempt to start from scratch, then you will know if you are ready. And once you are ready, the only boundaries are your own imagination. Yo Father Torque and Whitedragon: I have some great lesson plans in mind. If you want me to help out, PM me.
