The Relay

First Entry:

The Relay - Number 10 (http://chrislohr.net/uploader/files/11/relay.rar)
by Michael Sandford

Rules:
Remember the "numbered" 3dmm actors? Ever wonder what that was all about? So did I. Especially since there were only numbers for 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8. What I've done is to fill in the other five with other 3dmm actors and come up with a sequential gag that will run throughout The Big Movie 2.

Each contestant stalks and kills the contestant below him. Contestant #9 hunts down and kills contestant #10. Contestant #8 then hunts and kills contestant #9. Because of the sequential nature of this gag, and the possibility that someone may want to build on an idea of an earlier entry, it's required that you CALL YOUR ENTRY IN ADVANCE. At a pace of one new entry per day, The Relay will finish at the same time the film fest closer is released.

Relay entries are a bit longer and more complex than your average gag. They can be anywhere from 10-20 seconds (or a bit longer if you make a good one), they use custom scenery with a few different camera angles, there's a "track and kill" theme going on, and they must clearly show the contestants' numbers at some point. Imagine that as the numbers get lower, the contestants get smarter, which means later entries require the hunted to also be outwitted by the hunter.

You can do more than one Relay entry only if no one else calls the next number within a period of 24 hours, and if you didn't do the previous entry.

"3" - Ramu
"1" - Gabriel

[Aaron Haynes]

Oh, call entries in here, btw. Only make a new thread when you release your entry.

[Orcus]

9

[Aaron Haynes]

You have to call them in order. I don't want someone to call too far in advance. and then not be around when it's their turn. (For that matter, let's not fill up the ranks for this on day one. Wait until the next Relay comes out before calling your spot).

[Dominator Dan]

i'm gonna call 8, SO I GET TO DO SOMETHING BAGMAN RELATED AFTER ALL (see suggestions thread)

[Aaron Haynes]

You guys should comment on Mike's entry, too. This thread is also for that!

Edit: No more calling ahead. I'll let you have this one, Dan, but I don't want all the ranks getting filled up on the first day.

[Ben Rice]

Fuck it I need to learn how to READ.

[Denny Betterman]

What a great way to get the concept started, Sandy

[Dominator Dan]

NOT BAD

[Howell]

This is a good idea. I might do this. I'll take number 4

[Pogo]

No more calling ahead

[Aaron Haynes]

Post an update on how it's coming at some point today, Orcus, just so we have an idea where you're at (I won't be around to hear about it on AIM).

[Mike Storch]

is interested

[Dominator Dan]

OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED

[Denny Betterman]

Shouldn't the characters be...running somewhere, or something

Like, I feel like it should be part of like a race

[Orcus]

Gonna make some food quick then finish this up. Sorry it's taking so long. Had a few issues with v3dmm plus I worked all day for the past few days.

[Stan Pennant]

You better not have conjured up some remarkable opus

[Dominator Dan]

i'm gonna be busy pretty much all tomorrow, so i'm gonna let someone else take responsibility for Mr. 8

i'll chime in later

[Orcus]

You better not have conjured up some remarkable opus

I barely put any effort into it. I'm way too busy nowadays.

[Orcus]

I'm done but I don't have an uploader.

[Stan Pennant]

As Mike Storch pointed out, I should post in this thread that I am hopefully taking Dominator Dan's place in this,
Just waiting to hear back from Aaron (and get home from work)

so yeah, just so ya'll know.
Aaron hasn't given his okay yet, but I was first in so, y'know...

[Aaron Haynes]

8's all yours. Read the post I made in Orcus's thread for a suggestion I had, though.

[Ben Rice]

I really wanna do one of these. When is it actually gonna be ok to call on seven? :( *needs something to DO*

[Orcus]

Ok for serious is someone doing number 8?

[Stan Pennant]

Yeah I am,
I have been insanely fucking busy last 2 day's with work,
so I am totally going to start cramming in as much 3DMM time as I possibly can right fucking now. hopefully I'll have it to you soon.

Sorry y'all.

[Mike Storch]

I really wanna do one of these. When is it actually gonna be ok to call on seven? :( *needs something to DO*
Actually, if you look at the other thread I already have 7. Forgot to post it here. Mine is mostly done, though, and it'll probably be up shortly after Stan's.

[Ben Rice]

Does this mean I can call six?

[Aaron Haynes]

Sure.

There's four other spots open (I may claim one, depending on my schedule at the time), if you still want to request one.

[Ben Rice]

It's mine, all mine. Mwahaha.

[Trooper]

What?! We're calling these? I didn't speak out because I thought Aaron said not to until one and two were done.

I'm not doing one of the last four though. I'm not good enough to animate a more cunning and sneaky assassination.

[Mike Storch]

Mine will be done as soon as Stan gives me his voices. :)

[Ben Rice]

Startin' six now. :)

[Bryce Farlow]

Damnit! I had an idea for six... and nobody responded yet!

[Trooper]

Does this mean I can call six?
Sure.

[Orcus]

Where is 6? BEN!

[Ben Rice]

It's on it's way, I just haven't had time to work on it these past couple of days, don't worry I will try and have it finished by the end of the week, sorry about this. COLLEGE SUCKS. :(

[Marko Polo]

any numbers left? I can do whatevers free...

[Richard Bevis]

I'm also wishing to do a number :D

[Aaron Haynes]

If Trooper wants 5, he can have it. Otherwise, it'll go to Marko Polo.

[Richard Bevis]

So can I have 4?

[Orcus]

Let's move it.

[Aaron Haynes]

I just offered it to Marko Polo via PM, and he'll get it if he replies by Wednesday. Otherwise Richard Bevis gets it.

Trooper, sorry, but you missed your chance.

[Ben Rice]

Man this section of the site is sleepy now. Is this ever gonna be finished?

[Aaron Haynes]

I'm kind of letting it sit for a while, since it'll take a lot of people all being interested again at the same time, and I don't really have the time or patience to do it right now.

But yes, at some point, I'll get a couple of people to help coordinate a revival of interest in the project.

Bevis, you're welcome to 5 if you still want it.

[Ben Rice]

Well I suppose I'll do another one if noone else is going to make the effort.

[F-Man]

4 FOR ME!

[Aaron Haynes]

No one is doing 5 yet.

[Ben Rice]

[edit] RULES ARE RULES, CANNOT DO ANOTHER ENTRY IF I DID THE PREVIOUS. *sigh*

[Cowtacular Spleen]

has anyone done 5? I'll do it if noone has claimed it.

[Aaron Haynes]

Yes. Yes a billion times. Good luck!

[Tuna Hematoma]

I wanna do one, just tell me when.

[Aaron Haynes]

Russ just released 5, you can have 4 if you want it.

[Tuna Hematoma]

F-Man and Bevis said they wanted to do 4, so I dunno.

[Jeremstein]

I'd like 3, or 4 if it isn't taken...

EDIT: Okay, no ones called 4 since '08 so I'm releasing mine when its finished.
