Here is the pitch to Sir Admiral Shatner, MOS, et al:



I wrote a set of lyrics that some of you might have seen recently.  The subject matter features our Ambassadorboo - Anastasia, MOS, and William Shatner's (and partners') main purpose here.



(Read the lyrics, "Sweet Anastasia" in my blog.)



If we collaborate and create a music video based on these lyrics or any member-written lyrics, MOS will have another great example of what this website is all about.  The production level quality depends on how high of a budget is secured.  At the minimum, we may be able to put something together by sheer sweat equity, and of course, my preference is a bigger budget to produce a phenomenal video.  Maybe we can limit participation from MOS family members only.  That way, everything about this project is performed by registered members, including production crew, editing, and dramatic extras or at the discretion of the production company.



Possible roles for MOS administration, governors and spaceship captains would be to post official bulletins for each stage of milestones of production, casting-call notices, and timelines for submissions.  Plus, a system for registering submissions and awards will be necessary.



Requirements from MOS citizens will be registering at each step at which they wish to be considered for selection.



MUSIC



All genres will be considered.  My proposal to all musical members is to come up with a musical score for the lyrics and submit samples to the assigned production team for judging. We can either vote on the submissions or leave the selection up to Admiral Shatner and/or assigned production company.  These music demo samples should also include someone singing the lyrics to the music.  For ease of demo production and submissions, non member vocalists should be considered, but MOS collaboration is encouraged.



VOCALS AND MUSICIANS



Once the musical score is selected, open auditions for MOS singers and MOS musicians will take place.



SCREENPLAY



My proposal to the all screenwriters is to create action scripts from your interpretation-imagination of the lyrics.  Submit one, two, or three samples max from each writer or writing team.  Scripts can either be voted upon or selected by the Admiral/production team.



ART



Depending on the final script, my proposal to all visual artists will be to submit written and story board proposals for art and photography direction.  Shall we limit all visuals to be generated by MOS members or allow archived images if usage rights can be secured?



DIRECTORS, ACTORS, CREW



All directors, actors and crew will be selected by MOS-wide vote or choice by the production team.



If the screenplay requires live actors, then the starring role of course is our very own, sweet Anastasia.



Depending on the chosen screenplay, cameo appearances of the Admiral at least and even cameos of the governors and captains would be great!



If possible, cameo appearances of MOS citizens would add that much more of a family-effort flavor to the production!



Consider city denoted stadiums filled with 'extra' MOS members.



TECHNICAL



Green screen action, computer generated images, artist generated images, and on-location photography are all dependent on the chosen screenplay and format.
