Very Short Scripts wanted

Hello All

I James, nice to find this forum,

Iam hoping someone here can help me out, with what I am trying to do.

Firstly I will Pay for Scripts, that fit my remit, I'm not a time waster, I need about 100 very short scripts over the next 6 - 12 months maybe more depending on how the business goes.

so it may be a good little side line for somebody.

The scripts are very short indeed, In fact the Idea is for " funny email greetings cards" that will be played by actors, so some will be very short, but I would like humourous comedy sketch cards.

They may be only 30 seconds to 1 -2 minutes long exactly like greetings cards but in Film
I was thinking perhaps characters like Kenny Everett used to do, something like that,
I'm not sure really, I need help to do this that's why I am here my back ground is Internet marketing

But the themes are quite easy
Halloween
Thanks Giving
Hanukkah
Christmas's
New Year
Valentines day
and generic funny cards like I love you, I am thinking about you, your an Idiot etc, several versions of each one,

This is not my Industry so I'm looking to find a good person to work with long term, I then need to get the best possible deal on filming them.
with Actors, Make up, Studio etc I already have my budget for each sketch lined up. if you have contacts to do this part it may also be another earner for you

There is more to it than this but this is enough to give you an outline of what I am looking for.

Thank you very much and I look forward to any replies I receive

Hi, James. I'd be interested but you might be best to work directly with a sketch troupe/group who can write and perform as and when you need material for your cards.

If you are looking for writers specifically do you want people to send you a few samples and off the back of that you'll select a small group of people to provide all the future material or is it an open door policy throughout the process?

Are you looking for card format sketches, i.e. set up - punchline kind of thing related to birthdays etc?

Sorry to bombard you.

You need to improve your spelling and grammar skills, James. Otherwise you run the risk of appearing both sloppy and amateurish. Not good for a start-up business.

Good luck with it, but as explained so far I am not sure how this business idea stacks up given that people can already send comedy clips to friends and family on special occasions using YouTube. I am reasonably sure my stuff won't generate as much warmth as Del Boy falling through the bar, and for that reason, I'm out.

Thank you Guys

I didn't realise its a spelling Contest

The full business concept won't be shown on here.
Without a full NDA signed, Respectfully leave the business to me, and I will leave the comedy to you,
Thank you Cory thank you look forward to hearing from you

Hears the menacing "you're fired" music from the Aprentice playing somewhere.

Seriously sounds fun I'm game, I'm also hilarious and happy to write to a comission.

Where do I sign up?

Do you really need us, that's the funniest card greeting I've read in ages!

Guys you will understand when I explain fully what I am doing, I am using Text to voice technology to insert words inside the funny video film sketches, at chosen points.

EG, the example I am thinking about you, this will be sent as a film clip and users can insert words & improvise in certain parts ( I'm thinking about you)))))) and they could edit it with ( your an ass hole) or what ever they decide they want to say,

This is the kind of thing you can send to your wives when you can't quite express your selves or you are too embarrased to say lol only (Joking)

The I love you cards, I want to film as an old 1940s black and white sketch, but users can edit the sketch on the fly in certain places add words, to be have what ever outcome they decide in parts of the sketch.funny or romantic.

this is the basic idea, I am not a writer, I am an Internet marketer looking for some one who may be able to help put the script and sketch side together.
please send my a private message if interseed
