I should be in advertising

[mrlachatte]

You remember the Apple 'Switch' ads? You remember the parody anti-Mac ad? Here's one that I came up with in 10 minutes. I want to make this for the student films competition next year, all I need is a completely white room.


Setting: Pure white
Music: Apple switch ads-esque
Characters: Man + book

[MAN holding book]

MAN:
You know, I love books.

[Cut to man sitting reading, voice-over, then shot of man shaking piggy-bank]

MAN:
Books are easy to use, you don't need a password for them, there's no monthly charges. [Coin drops out]

[Talking head]

MAN:
My entire family can read books at the same time with no slowdown, they love it. Sure, there's no "dynamic content", then
again I know exactly what's inside every time I pick one up.

[Reading Dr. Seuss]

MAN:
Books are colourful, they have bright pictures, every single one is different! [Piles of different books]

[Quick shots of MAN in armchair, on sofa, bump into person while walking and reading]

MAN:
I can read wherever I want, whenever I want, HOWever I want!

[MAN wrapped in cables]

MAN:
There's no power cables, reception problems, and no waiting for tech support to call back.
[Cut to man sitting by phone, waiting for call, long pause]

["Books: Anytime, anywhere" logo]

MAN (voiceover):
I can't help it, I love my books.

[pause]

Oh hey, my internet's back up, never mind!
