Alphabet is one that I don't have an idea for if we did do it, but I also thought it could be a decent one if handled correctly.
They're the ideas I came up with, but I do believe Dalek and Explosion are decent choices. Explosion will be much easier to do, especially with limited time. So if I had to make a choice now, I'd want to move ahead with the explosion idea unless someone could give an example of how we could make other ideas work with good impact. I can even make the audio file for the explosion available for everyone very quickly. We just need a good general explosion, and I think it'll be fun and kind of classical to use something over the top, BUT something with meaning that can have implied meaning whenever used.
For an example, starting with an Evangelion clip and have something like Shinji tripping onto Rei, and as soon as his hand is on her breast it does *click* *BOOOOM* and we show Second Impact. Then every subsequent clip is a play off how easily a simple mistake causes the Second Impact. Like starting with that, then one clip could be a character lights a cigarette or throws the cigarette away nonchalantly and that causes second impact. And then something like a scene with a big race where the protagonist is about to win, show the tape breaking and use the click sound, then second impact. Hell, it could even become a character, someone looks around a corner and his eyes widen and it causes Second Impact.
Those aren't that good, I know, but they're just quick examples to reiterate the basic idea of how the explosion is more than just a sound and visual, it becomes a story how ridiculous shit can cause the explosion. Much like that vid Deuce posted earlier in response to the idea.
