Title images

[Lauren]

Seeing as many of us like to doodle with imaging programs, I thought this topic might be fun: making up new title images. Or phony ads/commercials. Or a new DVD cover.

Here's one I made up:

Looks good Lauren. I've thought of one commercial style one, but I've already used it in the screencaps thread (well, with Ralph breaking the proscenium, but still ...) I have a couple of ideas in mind, but I'm not sure yet.

[MelMac]

Well, in the spirit of the thread, I'm going to post the alternates of the Hinkley Homies and Davidson Devotees icons. These are both slightly different from the official ones.

Here's the Hinkley Homies one (very slight difference):



Here's the Davidson Devotees one:



I've put the links to them in their respective Ralph and Pam folders along with the links to the official ones. And, as always, if you want to use them for wallpaper, icons, etc., feel free to use them.

Very cool images, Lauren and MelMac! Kudos!

[MelMac]

Thanks billswoman. The official ones are in their respective folders in the GAH.com folder.

Now, here's an attempt at a fake commercial and, unlike my other one in the screencaps thread, won't break proscenium (or characters won't talk to announcer.)

("GAH" instrumental theme plays, announcer speaker in itals.)

Wednesday:



*Thunderstrike sfx, lightning bolt fx, Ralph crashes next to Bill*



Bill: You OK kid?

Ralph (bit dazed): Yeah, but what was that, I'm fine but. ...

*Touches Bill on shoulder, electric zap sfx, weird glowing fx around Bill/Ralph, both fall to ground unconscious*

A freak accident with the suit and lightning causes a major identity crisis for Bill and Ralph. ...



Bill (in Ralph's voice): I don't believe it. Don't know how ya did it kid, but we've switched places.

Ralph (in Bill's voice, off pic): Well, don't look at me, I don't know why the suit did it.

Bill (R): Quit talking, you're giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Ralph (B): Lookit, it wasn't my idea to be (mimic voice) Bill Maxwell - FBI, the agent with a taste for danger and dog biscuits.

Bill (R): Real cute kid. Let's try to figure this out, OK before the Counselor sees us.

Now, Ralph and Bill must cope with being the other in more ways than one. ...



Bill (R): I guess it's my turn to try and fly.

Ralph (B): Just try not to hurt us, if you know what I mean?

Bill (R): Yeah, kid. Well, here we go.

*Takes off, flying and crashing sfx heard.*

Ralph (B, off pic): Remind me to never carry you this way again while flying. It hurts too much when I crash.

Bill (R, off pic): Deal.

Meanwhile, a crime lord bent on getting back at one of Pam's clients has plans of his own, but gets the wrong target. ...



Bill (R): Ralph and me we switched places. (pauses) Counselor, you OK?

Pam: Fine, I just got a little. ... (faints)

Bill (R): Counselor? Ralph, I think she's fainted. We must have had one too many suit scenarios for her.

Ralph (B): Pam? Pam!? (checks pulse) Bill, it's worse than a faint, call an ambulance.

Can Bill and Ralph catch this crime lord and get the antidote before it's too late?



*holograph sfx*

Bill (R): Ralph, I got a holograph on the hideout.

Ralph (B): Good, let's get them.

And will they solve how to get back to their normal selves before they drive each other crazy? Find out on "The Greatest American Hero."

*Different voiceover: Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC*

(Notes Name (r) is in order of character himself (appearance))

Dang, MelMac! You know, I would LOVE to see that as a fanfic.

Nice job!

Thanks Lauren. ;D

I've been considering this one for a story for some time, but it'll be a while (maybe over the weekend) before I actually could begin working on it. (Well, that and I need to get the story start (different scenario) for the game thread done too.) I have another commercial in mind, but I'm putting it on the backburner right now until I get the first two of three items out of the way (one, the icon will be pretty quick).

OK that's it I quit! Every time I come up with a fanfic idea it turns up somewhere. I have been working out this idea for months. you can even ask my friend Kathleen because I was getting her advise because I didn't want to mary sue it. Man this sucks! no offence GR8 minds think alike I guess....but Bummer. I was gonna have so much fun with that too.

[HoudiniDerek]

You should have mentioned it to people on the boards and we could have convinced MelMac to do something else...or write faster.

No worries, Ms Boku, it seems the same way for me too, hence why I wrote the story this weekend. And, the basic idea could be expounded upon with other characters, etc., so who knows.

I have a couple of plot bunnies that I'd be happy to share with you if you'd like (I'd PM them to you so no one can steal them.) They're also human interest "what-if such and such happened" that I'm pretty sure no one's used anywhere on the Web for this show. One came to me after an event that I was worried about was really no big deal (not juggling), but I've had problems expanding on it. If you like it, you're more than welcome to use it.

[HoudiniDerek]

Geez, MelMac...can't you leave her alone? You have already dashed her fanfic inspiration...stop giving her pity party plot bunnies.

Funny, HD, coming from someone who's helping me with the first post in the next interactive game thread. But, I will assure you one thing, I won't steal other people's ideas, since it's their ideas. This happened because just like Ms Boku said, "Great minds think alike."

[HoudiniDerek]

To quote a great comedian: "The self absorption of the average human being is mind boggling, isn't it?"

And, sorta an addendum, I'm willing to share my ideas, HD, since sometimes I can't write them, but others might be able too. The one I have in mind could be used for quite a few things.

(Great, now I'm going to have try the "Pity Party Plot Bunnies" tongue twister later on.)

(ETA on previous HD post, yes, that's true. That's how I learned to do many activities).

[HoudiniDerek]

Would work great with the picture of Ralph having his tongue stuck in the door...better ask MyTatuo if you can borrow it.

HD, I think this time you succeeded in confusing me.

Anyway, I'm going to try to get this one back on topic sometime soon. I might do a commercial for the first interactive game thread. That one I know's been written.

[HoudiniDerek]

Anything new in it or are the rules, the first move, and the start date still all the same?

[MelMac]

The first one's locked, and I can't change it or add anything new to it (and you know I'm remorseful about accidentally giving Henry that concussion. ) The second one's pretty much set, as well as time and date. As I said in that thread, I have to add one more sentence to reveal the first clue. Now, will it be the game or something else, that's yet to be seen.

[HoudiniDerek]

Nice...just thought I would make sure nothing has changed...never know with you since apparently Santa Fe, New Mexico is on the way to California if you are already in Arizona.

Yeah, true, not to mention tossing a ruby around in several different areas that you have to finally just say at the cabin (that darn maple), giving characters concussions that aren't supposed to, and others suddenly conscious when in the previous move they weren't and you have to explain why.

Plus, I'm having to manually count my sentences right now, since I still seem to think that 5X5=20 or whatnot. But, both times so far, I've written it out to the new rule length.
