Nuclear Test Short

Umming and ahhing over this throwaway.

1 - CIA office.
A scientist and a spook scrutinise a siesmograph chart. It has a large spike.

Spook:
Another underground test?

Scientist nods. Spook reaches for a red phone.

Spook:
Get me the White House.

2 - North Korea.
Intercut library shots of large crowds gathered in public parks and squares. A tannoy announcer counts down from 3 in Korean.

Caption: 3
Caption: 2
Caption: 1
Caption: Jump.

Excelent and clever and silent.

A short topical sketch from Mr Slagg whatever next?

Laughing out loud

Laughing out loud
Tops!

Cheers guys, appreciated. :)

I like it. I like it a lot!

Very funny, you could possible film the CIA bit, then cobble some archive footage together with a voice over for the rest. :)

Nothing to um and ah about here - it's spot-on. Excellent stuff, and you should make it (with a full ethnic cast of on-location North Korean actors)

So you have this archived footage of people meeting.
Then you film a group of people together (possible Chinese) gather and all jump at the same time?
Am I understanding this skit right?
If so then why? Sorry I'm sure this is a very funny skit but I'm just not getting it right now.

ha ha ha ha :)

There's a Theory that if all the chinese jumped at the same time, it would cause an Earthquake.

So they are probably all jumping to fool the US seismologists into believing that they have been testing Nuclear Weapons underground.

Or something similar anyway.

:$ Cheers Fred, for the spot-on explanation. Tis what I was going for.

Thanks everyone, I'm currently looking to film this now at some point, while North Korea is still on the globe.

Making it with a skipload of Koreans is one of my dreams. ;)

That's very good Mr Slag.

I hope you utube this - it's a great little idea and hopefully easy to put together?
