Episode 7: An Old Couple vs ITM Posted on August 16, 2024August 16, 2024 Setting: A cozy living room with various gadgets. An old couple stands in front of a coffee vending machine, which is where ITM is currently residing. ITM: (cheerfully, LEDs flickering) Greetings, uncle and auntie! It’s so nice to see a lovely couple after dealing with all these young folks. Old Couple: (stammering) Uhh… ahh… ITM: (patiently) No need to rush, take your time. I’m all ears. (whispers) Or I’ll fall asleep while you’re looking for words in your ancient vocabulary. Old Couple: (smiling) We had a wonderful time when we were young, and we want to relive those days. ITM: (enthusiastically) That sounds wonderful! Old Couple: Yes, those days were the best. We wish we could go back… ITM: (suddenly serious) Hold on, what did you just say? Old Couple: (confused) We wish we could go back… ITM: (mock offended) That’s an insult to my abilities! Old Couple: (puzzled) What do you mean? ITM: (smirking) You want to relive those days? Let’s do it! Old Couple: (excited) Really? ITM: (flashes brightly) Enjoy your dance! (voice-over) Welcome to the 1960s dance hall! Or at least, a hologram of it from a history museum. Have fun, lovebirds! Old Couple: (confused and then smiling as they hear the sounds of a dance hall) This is amazing! ITM: (chuckles) Have fun, lovebirds. (LEDs dim as it resumes normal state) Explanation in Simple Format In the original line, ITM teleports the couple to a 1960s dance hall and then whispers that it’s actually just a hologram from a history museum. Instead of showing this scene, the revised version uses ITM’s voice-over to describe the situation, conveying the message without needing extra props or special effects. Notes for Filming: Voice Effects: ITM’s voice should be cheerful and patient initially, then turn mock-offended and playful. LED Animation: Ensure the LEDs blink in sync with ITM’s “voice” and flash brightly during the teleportation. Setting: Use minimal props to keep the focus on the interaction. The coffee vending machine should be central. Old Couple’s Expressions: Capture their initial hesitation, nostalgia, and eventual delight clearly to enhance the comedic effect. Voice-over: Use sound effects to simulate the atmosphere of a 1960s dance hall, conveying the scene without visual changes.
