Ok before it dissolves from our brains, I wanted to recap the story we agreed on yesterday.
Open shot of toy store.
Cut to display window where you see a robot dog and a very cute classic toy dog side by side. Prices for toys are written on small boards next to the toys.
Silhouetted figures walk by, one pauses to look at the dogs in the window. Robot dog starts to do a fancy elaborate trick to impress the kid and finishes with a flourish. Cut to classic dog, which strikes and incredibly cute and irresistible pose/look. Shop door bell rings, hand reaches from behind the shadows and takes classic dog (register "cha-ching" sounds). Robot dog looks downfallen. Another classic dog replaces the purchased dog and the robodog's price sign is replaced with "10% off!".
Another kid stops to watch the dogs. Robodog does another fancy trick, classic dog does his cuteness, kid chooses classic dog again, classic dog is replaced, Robodog price is marked down.
Cut to another kid, another robodog trick, another cute pose, another discount. (repeat X amount of times showing passage of time with lighting)(Robodog varies his tricks/gives up as time goes on).
ENDING/payoff has yet to be determined. Here is my idea:
Robodog is sitting down, crestfallen at the end of the day, 95% off sign next to him. Another kid walks by, but lo! the child is a Robokid! The Robokid and the Robodog look at each other and have an instant connection, and the Robokid ends up purchasing the Robodog.
Any other ideas/corrections/endings you would like to propose, please add as comments so we can keep this all in one post!

Before I forget, thought I would post another ending I thought of.
ReplyDeleteRobodog has come down in price so low that, when you buy the old dog, robodog comes free. Customer is in front of the dogs, sees the sign of "buy old dog, robodog is free" and you see him walkaway with just the old dog and robodog is so dejected.
This can be either extremely sad or funny depending on how we do it. If you want to turn it into a happy ending, after this you can have the robokid come and the magical stuff happen.
