playing with home made explosives sounds like a sensible thing... i guess if anyone gets thier arms blown off you can send the tape into youve been framed
Saturday soon, and the day of the big shoot. The big battle scene for Noo'Paala Films latest endeavour entitled either 'War' or 'The Dorchester - Weymouth Conflict' is nearly all planned out. We have a kick-*** location, paid (1p an hour!) actors (always useful), the camera, official directors t-shirts, some directors chairs, a rather leathal clapper board, and plenty of fake guns. We've had to design and build an Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher from some pipe, a model rocket motor, and a very nifty firing circuit for the final shot of the battle!
During this project, we've had to improvise many new innovative pyrotechnic effects using household items. The most effective of which has been the ping pong ball grenade. This is made like so:
Take 1 ping pong ball (25p each from a sports shop in town...not too bad), wrap in tin foil and form a handle from the foil aswell.
Hold a flame (modified lighters work best, but do eventually overheat and break / explode so use in moderation) under the ball until it begins to make a hissing noise and a little smoke is seen. If you remove the heat at this point, hopefully you should get plumes and plumes of fairly thick (possbily hydrogen cyanide....not sure about that one yet) smoke. If you hold the fire under it for longer, it will catch light and shoot a jet of VERY intense flame from several directions for about 5 seconds.
Has anyone got any ideas for a title for the film? 'War' seems a bit naff, and 'Dorchester - Weymouth Conflict' is a bit long winded. The film is a sort of docu-drama, shot from the eyes of a news reporter. It tells the story of the war between the Dorchester Home Guard, and the North Weymouth Revolutionary Army (based on two towns close by in Dorset County). The war begins to take its toll on Dorchester, and the final scene shows the last stand of the Dorchester Home Guard at the edge of the town. In the end, another big town nearby (Bournmouth) gets fed up with their petty fighting, so promptly nukes them. Any ideas for a better title would be appreciated

and get ?250 toward your next budget!
For a title how about: "Only Losers", as in; 'In war there are no winners, only...'.

I have so much stuff that could get on You've Been Framed. If I got off my ?ss and sent it in, I'd be loaded. I once got as far as to buy a padded envelope, then I got confused and distracted and probably wrote Killer Sandwich.
I DID actually send some clips in on tape to YBF!
They didn't get shown though. I Went straight to jail, didn't pass Go, didn't collect 250 squid.
Oh, hang on, that's something else...
I like the idea of "Only losers..."
sounds good
We did some final testing of the ping pong balls earlier tonight, and the RPG just needs a couple of 9V batteries attached to it. Hopefully we should have about 15 people (including the three Noo'Paala Directors) on site tomorrow.
