More Notes on the Opening

So, using the Odd Couple as an opening here are some shots to reference:

Long shots of each character walking toward the camera, pedestrian traffic, edited into a split screen side by side shot.

Closer now, and Dylan is getting coffee, Binky is perusing vinyl at a record store (and subtly pulls out a Japan Fried album) or Dylan is tieing his shoe, reveal to see his foot is posted up on the Wall St. bull's balls.

Quadruple split screen (did he really just type that?) with Bink and Dyl side by side both screaming, in the two remaining squares their feet to reveal their shoes, Bink's sneakers and Dylan's wingtips. Then the reveal, Dylan screaming into his phone on some business deal and Binky screaming into a microphone at band practice.

This maybe at the beginning, (and maybe not at all because I think they did this in the Devil Wears Prada) a shot of Binky coming up from the Subway and Dylan coming out of a cab.

Random shots of their tall office building and of the makeup of the park, pigeons, a lake, old men playing checkers, a jungle gym or see saw, a couple kissing.

Binky and Dylan now together, still in split screens, playing rock paper scissors, fighting on the monkey bars, spinning one another way too fast on the go-round.

The last shot, the title animation over a scenic shot of the park they are in, maybe we can steal a shot of Central Park for this.

Other ideas for titles, first appearances Craig Strauss as Binky, Chris Dunlop as Dylan, The Park as The Park et cetera.


The music: "See Saw" by Jay Reatard. Anyone know how to get an instrumental version of this? I saw some Karaoke software online but its forty dollars. The only problem with the lyrics being in the final 20 seconds of the song Jay repeats the verse, "She creeps me out, she creeps me out, she creeps me out" which is a terrible way to introduce the audience to our little show.
