Surely you can't be serious (yes I am, and don't call me Shirley)

Hello Students,
Your newest class project is to produce a comedy/variety sketch show. Students will break into teams and produce comedy shorts, bumper animations and cut scenes and the shorts will be spun into a full show. We will attempt to air the show on community television.

Unusual TV Skit Show Assignment:

• Students will work in teams of 4
• Each team is responsible for shooting 1-3 short sketches or skits
• Each skit should be 1 to 3 minutes in length, not to exceed 5 minutes for any sketch
• Each team is responsible for shooting a show bumper or transition. This can be animated, done with video or use your own creativity. Bumpers must be 5 seconds long minimum, 10 seconds maximum and must display the title of our show at the end of the bumper, "Unusual TV" or "U TV"
• Each team must provide a storyboard with dialogue and scene direction for approval before shooting can begin.
• Teams will turn final edits into the team of producers for inclusion in final show version
• Any sketch or bumper may be rejected, so put your best effort into your projects

Schedule will be posted ASAP
