I am sorry if these questions are clear to other people. But, are we ONLY supposed to do a representation of that tweet? setup and payoff? it has to involve the guy, the girl, the shrinking dress joke ONLY right?
Also, the 20 secs is ONLY of the video, no graphic, logo, no bumper narration?
thanks
Caleb Light-WillsYou are creating a video based on the tweet, but it does not have to be a verbatim word-for-word interpretation. It should be 20 seconds, not including graphics / branding

I read through all the discussions and just wanted some clarification. So all the video submissions will be visual representations of the scene described in the tweet?
Is that what they want? Caleb Light-WillsYes, but feel free to take that to new places as well. If you've got an amazing idea that riffs on the tweet, got for it!

Don't mean to sound like a sore loser, and with all due respect to David Brasher, but I feel it's unfair that we were told to pitch based on the winning tweet and then a pitch which differed from the tweet was chosen. If it were known we could submit different ideas, I'm sure many would have.
Caleb Light-WillsThe tweet was only meant to serve as a creative starting point which you're more than welcome to expand upon. This applies to all Tongal projects.

My apologies then. I misunderstood. I was under the impression we were supposed to use that exact idea about the guy shrinking his girlfriends dress. When I had read the pitches, I was a little taken back as I felt it had no boyfriend, no girlfriend no shrunken dress.9:53AM Jun 27, 2012

Rudolph, can I ask how you were able to read the pitches? At least by the time of this reading they have been made private, but I'm curious to see what you're talking about with respect to David's pitch.10:31AM Jun 27, 2012

I checked the winners roughly a minute after they were posted. For about 5 or 10 minutes they were public, when I checked back maybe 15min later, they were private.10:46AM Jun 27, 2012

So I know it's too late, but I just realized that the winning tweet is different from the one shown here on Tongal: "Shrunk girlfriend's dress in the wash. Told her she's lost weight; it's too big for her now; let's go get a new one!" http://twitter.com/g atoblanko/status/201 796672731357184

Should we set up the video to be in a format like the established Handle It videos? (i.e. http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=IAa2ia6vo wo ) As in, "video -> logo -> video -> logo" where the combined video pieces are 20 seconds?

If my pitch incorporates diegetic dialogue, would Danny Pudi be saying that as well? Or is the only dialogue in our video supposed to be internal thought?
Caleb Light-WillsOnly the internal monologue

@Caleb Light-Wills
But the winning tweet says he told her she lost weight, and he can't tell her that with internal monologue, so shouldn't there be at least that dialogue?12:02PM Jun 18, 2012

@Caleb Light-Wills
Also, I just took a loot at a couple of their previous videos, and they all seem to have direct dialogue as well. Could you please clarify so that I can know if I need to alter any of my pitches12:16PM Jun 18, 2012
Demi Adejuyigbe
@Rudolph Saenz
If I'm not mistaken, I think that Caleb is saying that Danny will only be recording the internal monologue, not any dialogue.1:41PM Jun 18, 2012

Hi. The SS HI vids already broadcasting or online all have a 20-27 second time with standard middle & end bumper, identical music, & narration. Should we make our pitches/vids around this basic structure, or does SS want to see a totally custom 20 sec vid that they can then modify if they need?
Caleb Light-WillsThese videos will be in that same style, so your video should conform the two part structure laid out in the overview.

I was just going to submit a Pitch and I noticed it doesn't have the usual fields to include links and upload. Is there a reason for this? I would like to refrain from using part of the character limit for my pitch to include a link
Caleb Light-WillsShould be working now!

... that she is completely aware that I shrunk it. And I'm just trying to play it cool and be like... "I'm sorry I shrunk your dress... but HEY! You lost weight anyway!" type thing?
Caleb Light-WillsI think he's trying to play it off like he shrunk it on purpose. Like she lost weight and he shrunk it to make it fit her better...does that make more sense?
10:14PM Jun 06, 2012
Blake Carron
@Caleb Light-Wills
It does make sense. I'm concerned that viewers could be confused with the punch line. Is it possible to get a second tweet idea?3:30PM Jun 07, 2012
Caleb Light-Wills@Blake Carron
You're probably right, the pitch and subsequent video may not play well if it is a verbatim visualization of this Tweet. Like any Idea, Concept or Story on Tongal, this is just a starting point, so take it anywhere you want!3:36PM Jun 07, 2012

I'm just trying to understand the winning tweet better...
In my mind, If a dress was shrunken without my girlfriends knowledge and then she held the dress up... Then she would think she was getting fatter. Right? So telling her she lost weight wouldn't make much sense.
So does this idea mean...
Cassandra Chowdhury
Yes, it means she's gained weight. So it doesn't make any sense . . .

That's good to know. I also submitted a wildcard and was a little worried about the tweet requirement.
