Updated January 29th, 2007
-The first 50 seconds of the audio track are complete-music and all. The whole audio track should be completed in final form in two weeks or less.

Summary: The Bourne Personality is a parody trailer of The Bourne Identity. An average guy starts thinking he's an uber assassin and having hallucinations after suffering a head injury. His friends just think he's an idiot and want him to seek professional help. Cowboy Bebop will be the anime used for this AMV.

Cast:
Jason -> Spike -voiced by: Scintilla
Conklin -> Vicious -voiced by: Requiett
Girlfriend -> Faye -voiced by:
Friend -> Venus plant smuggler -voiced by: electiveinsanity
Narrator -voiced by: Minion

Editors:

SQ
AMV_4000

To Do List:
Gather dialogue: 100%
Produce audio track: 45%
Gather video resources: INCOMPLETE
Edit video: INCOMPLETE
Finishing touches: INCOMPLETE

I'll be arranging the audio myself, but if anyone wants to help me edit the video, let me know. Once I have the audio finished, it can be divided into scenes. Previous experience with lip syncing is required.

I've done my own VA projects before, so I'd be more than happy to pitch in.

I can voice act

Assistant director for "The Prescott Affair" et al. speaking. IM me and we'll talk. ^_^

<b>Edit:</b> I also have software that has worked quite well at removing noise and hiss from vocal recordings in the past, as well as normalization and dynamic range compression if needed (read: Adobe Audition).

This would be interesting if it ever got off the ground.

Someone told me the link I posted wasn't working, so here's another one: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/1930147/1/

Also, someone tried to send me an instant message, but I accidentally clicked on "No" when the accept message window popped up. Just im me again please.

No, an American accent is not required for this. I'll have the updated script posted in a day or two. If I don't IM you first, feel free to contact me.

I've finished the new script. I've already picked out clips for some, but not all of it. Any suggestions for clips or changes to the script would be welcome.

I may need some help selecting an inserting music once the dialogue and action are completed. Music is an important part of a trailer and I'm not sure I have the artistic ability to arrange it well.

The Bourne Personality

Cast:
Jason: Spike
Girlfriend: Faye
Conklin: Vicious?
Friend: Venus plant smuggler or Jet

*Ted Stone is pronounced as one word: “TedStone”*

**just to be clear, the friend and girlfriend are not in any of the same scenes as Conklin and are not talking to him. Conklin is a figment of Jason's imagination. They are talking to the "camera"**

**edit**
Jason Bourne: I'll give you ten thousand dollars to drive me to Paris.

Girlfriend: You want me to drive you to Paris?

Jason Bourne: Yeah.

Girlfriend: Jason, we're in America!

Jason Bourne: So?

Girlfriend: My boyfriend has always been a little eccentric, but he’s been acting weirder than usual ever since “the accident.” He’s thinks he’s Jason *pause* Bourne
[use scene of Spike falling out of window for the accident]

Jason Bourne: Who am I?

Conklin: Your name is Jason Bourne, you work for “TedStone.” You’re an assassin, a $6 million dollar malfunctioning piece of government property! What went wrong? I want answers, soldier!
[use scene of Spike and Vicious face to face in church]

Friend: Jason, an assassin? *starts laughing*

Jason Bourne: Did you send me to kill Jabooty?
[use scene of mushroom smuggler for Jabooty]

Conklin: Please! I could have sent your mom to kill Jabooty. I sent you because you don’t exist!

Friend: Wait, you’re serious? *more laughing???

Conklin: You have the skills of a dangerous man!

Friend: Oh he’s dangerous all right!
[use scene of Spike lighting cigarette with flame thrower]

Conklin: You’ve been built, trained, conditioned to disappear. You can be anyone.

Girlfriend: Jason doesn’t know the meaning of the word “subtle”.
[use scene of Spike in Mexican disguise and play the Mexican Hat Dance]

Conklin: You have extensive weapons and martial arts training.

Jason: Oh snap!
[use scene of Ed’s father throwing an egg on Spike’s gun, Spike tosses gun away in disgust]

Jason: Who is TedStone?!

Friend: Jason...

Girlfriend: ...we just want you to get some help.

White Text On Black Screen: This summer, discover action, intrigue, and insanity. Discover The Bourne Personality.

Jason: I’m on my own side now! *try to sound panicky/crazy*
[maybe create scene of Vicious vanishing into thin air, implying he’s an illusion]
*maybe add person whispering/echoing whisper “a figment of your imagination"*

Okay I have a mic so I'll be interested in voicing a character.

Conklin interests me =)

I've been in a drama production before as a leading character if that means anything :/
