Pitch

Marshall Cook

Televised Poker Championships. Commentators narrate. The Astronaut (in full gear) sits at the table & just went all in. Challengers Greg Fuller & Defending Champ, Jerry Atwater stare the Astronaut down. "That Astronaut visor makes for one-heck of a poker face." Finally, they call. 4-of-a-kind for Greg. Royal Flush for Jerry. "The best hand in the game, however... (Astronaut reveals just 1 Astronaut Card) Nothing beats an Astronaut!" The challengers deflate. Astronaut wins & the crowd goes wild.

Heros Landscaping Crew #2

A Cop, EMT, lifeguard, fireman and FBI agent are all now part of Hero’s Landscaping Crew. They hear screams of "Help!" coming from a neighbor’s house and all start running towards it. An astronaut runs up beside of them, heading for the same house. They see the astronaut, realize they are outmatched, stop running, and go back to their yard work. The astronaut comes out of the house carrying the girl. The crew yearningly watches them as they pass by.

Living Single

Open with the tragedy in act 5. Juliet lays peacefully as a broken Romeo holds the poison. Romeo: "Here's to my love." He drinks. "Thus with a kiss, I die." He falls over. Juliet wakes. Finds Romeo. Visibly upset she sees the poison in his hand. Juliet: "What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end." As she is about to drink, she notices our Astronaut in the doorway. She drops vile and the dialect. Juliet: "So, we're broken up, right?" She leaves.

The Sad Truth

Open scene in restaurant with a room full of heroes and athletes (firemen, soldiers, etc) having what appears to be a support group meeting. Each hero has flashbacks to their exploits as they talk. A soldier walking away in slow motion from an explosion without looking, a skateboarder tricking over a car etc. Cut to an astronaut several tables over chilling with several hot women. Heroes say “How can we compete with that!?” (One cries) Blur fade to title “Nothing beats an astronaut

No real plot) http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=GBG83MiYPi8 (Example of explosions we can do) I am a high-speed motion capture specialist (slow motion) with a lot of experience filming action. I own a Sony FS700 (cinema grade camera with high-speed capabilities) and have access to some awesome stuntmen/athletes. I also work with a licensed explosives expert, Matt Barnett with Bonetti Explosives, who can help get some incredible 'walk away from explosion in slow motion' shots.
