WSUZ news report anti-DUI PSA

WSUZ news report anti-DUI PSA · 05-13-2014, 01:41 PM

Greenville, NC is such a hellhole, so I made a PSA that takes place there!

Quick question...do you ever consider whether or not anyone but yourself will enjoy the things you make?

In some ways yes

But I just have the bravery to have trial-and-error in impressing fellowing 3DMMers!

And ya know, this Suzanne engine coolant unit thats gonna be in my upcoming novel is how I came up with the call letters WSUZ.

Dustin Guest · 05-13-2014, 05:37 PM

Super.

Samurai Clinton · 05-13-2014, 06:09 PM

I came up with the name Summer Sarandon by combining the names of Susan Sarandon and Suzanne Sommers.

For example: Rocky Horror Picture Show was a movie that had Susan Sarandon in it, and American Graffiti is a movie that had Suzanne Sommers in it!

Oh, and I came up with the name Thomas Vega because of some song...

You see, I knew about somebody in Greenville named Suzanne because my dad tried to mention her as an excuse to get me back into that hellhole city, and ever since then that name was programmed into a text string that taxed the emotional stability of my psyche, so I simply channeled that hyperactive energy into a comprehensive project of creating an outline for this novel I'm writing.

In which, if I just named an engine coolant accessory Suzanne, it would help to serve as a "heatsink" to the bad memories that wander within. I also figured that this PSA I made would also relieve some tense thoughts too. Oh. amd Thomas Vega is gonna be used as the placeholder name for the designer of the Suzanne, or Special Underwater Zamboni And Nuclear Navigation Equipment engine coolant for the VIRGIL (Voyager In Royal Guidance Into Location) submarine. And ya know, Suzanne from Greenville drove a 1998 (or some year near that) Lincoln Continental, so thats why I made a submarine out of an image of that car. Also, thats how I came up with the name Continental Navigator Enterprises of which is a research firm in Sault Ste. Marie, MI in my novel of which Thomas Vega works for that company.

I figure the name Susan is similar enough to the name Suzanne to invoke an homage on 2 actresses when I take their surnames and form the name Summer Sarandon. Sometimes a creative idea can serve as a garbage dump for negative energy to flip into positive thinking.

I loved it. Lots of 69 references. Good voice work.

Dustin Guest · 05-13-2014, 07:12 PM

You don't say? Huh.

Dammit Clinton. The preview screenshot you posted a few days ago was actually quite promising because I thought you were going to animate the car crash. I was disappointed that you didn't. Remember that car chase scene in your GTA movie? Everyone thought that was great. You should do more action sequences.

Broken Pencil · 05-13-2014, 07:57 PM

It wasn't too bad, but I gotta agree with Troopa koopa. You should have animated it.

Don't worry, maybe I'll film another anti-DUI PSA someday. This news report was just a small start at getting back to 3DMM for something. I just wanted to demonstrate an Aussie accent for Thomas Vega, of which that character was named in homage to the song Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega. And ya know, I'm also gonna work on a character named Luka Vega, of whom is gonna be Thomas's brother (another homage to a Suzanne Vega song).

So what I did was I wanted to use a little bit of Aussie humor as my comeback to 3DMM videos on YouTube. I am planning on having Summer Sarandon (named in homage to Susan Sarandon and Suzanne Sommers) end up in an animated crash in another anti-DUI PSA.

But rather than have a silver 1998 Lincoln Continental be the crashing car, I'm gonna have a black 1960s-esque Longhorn Cadillac be the crashing car. Now that's another idea in the making as we speak.

The license plate on the car is planned to bear the message "SZQ 903". SZQ being a three-character shorthand for "Suzi Q", and 903 being a state route in North Carolina which also goes through Greenville in real life. I got homages in the pipeline.

And again, the name "Suzanne" was so stuck in my psyche, that celebrities with the name "Suzanne" had homages, as well as similar names like "Susan", and maybe "Suzette" will come next as a basis for an homage. Its that awkward to have a name stuck in the psyche, but yet relieving to apply homages stemming from the name into a piece of creativity. And as for Suzi Q, thats a 1950s rockabilly song, covered by many artists.

Maybe I'll spread susan flowers all over the grass strips of the highway scenes for shits and giggles, and ya know, I saw some susan-like flowers along highway 264 in real life recently, how creepy does that get that some loser from Greenville was mentioned by my dad just as some failed excuse to get me back into that hellhole!

Well there you have it, a novel, and some PSAs are here to serve as heatsinks to the anxiety I suffer from.

...or you could just make something that isn't a hamfisted PSA...

This PSA against drunk driving is supposed to be a "sneak peak" at a bigger project.

Maybe you should watch some more American Graffiti, or watch some She's The Sheriff (if that even is a real show, but was in a South Park episode).

And ya know, the style of news reporting here was very similar to that of South Park, since the phrase "thanks, Tom..." came from South Park. And ya know, Suzanne Vega made a song called "Tom's Diner", so therefore the name "Thomas Vega" is an homage to the name that also refers to an engine coolant accessory in my upcoming novel.

Is it any mystery that the call letters "WSUZ" came from that type of name?

Think about this: The name Suzanne Sommers was mentioned in the South Park episode: Death. It was the episode where people killed themselves and used rancid feces to boycott Terrance and Phillip. The president said that he replaced T&P with She's The Sheriff; he said that, that show starred Suzanne Sommers, so that episode of South Park is where I first heard the name Suzanne Sommers in.

Oh god, all this bullshit I've been subjected to at certain events in Greenville, as well as some other places have just gotten me to the point where crapflood just has to occur!

Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne Suzanne

You see, thats how many times that name will be mentioned before The Pirates Of Greenville novel will get published!

If you were on the sinking RMS Greenville I bet you would hold your breath!

Yeah, but if I was in front of my dad, its hard to say whether holding my breath for 6.9 minutes or blurting out the name of a random girl to him would be a harder pill to swallow, because my dad can be very rude to me when the subject of any girl comes up in conversation!

But now, I'm seeking a "loophole" to this, and who knows if this will change for the good.

Samurai Clinton · 05-14-2014, 04:28 PM

OK, I've come up with a new idea on a "play on words".

If anybody is gonna name a fictional town with the gambling of Las Vegas, Nevada, and the maritime locks of Sault Ste. Marie, MI; here's an idea...

I've come up with the idea for Sault Zanne Vegas as a name for a fictional city. Oh, and one thing you'll get a kick out if is if we had a restaurant called "Luka's Diner" (one song called Luka, and the song title Tom's Diner) seeing as song artist Suzanne Vega has some great stuff!
