We're having an "awards night" in the coming weeks for our volunteers at Saddleback, just cranked out this script for a video we're doing to praise the families that host our church interns.
We shoot it tomorrow, so comment me some great lines or moments to add in. As always, I'll post the final version in YouTube and link it here when it gets finished ...
Host Home Video ScriptJG
CRASH!
A child breaks a glass vase. A scream is heard in the background.
Husband and wife are doing dishes.
WIFE
Did you hear the announcement this weekend about host homes?
(beat)
Turn off the Xbox honey!
HUSBAND
No, I fell asleep after shortly after Pastor Doug started talking.
(picks up a child, preoccupied)
… so what’s it all about?
(distracted, turns to children)
Kids! Turn down the TV!
WIFE
Well, there’s about a dozen people from all over the world that serve at our church for free, and they stay in church member homes. I think it’s a pretty amazing thing, actually.
HUSBAND
Son, don’t … (crash). Sigh.
WIFE
Seriously, we should do it! It would be so fun!
(beat)
Brody, get in the house right now!
HUSBAND
(getting beat down with a lightsaber)
Yeah, right.
WIFE
(looks hopeful)
(beat, husband lays down on couch)
Man, that sounds like the life … sometimes I wish I was an intern.
(dream sequence, all silent with strong musical theme)
HUSBAND daydreams about living in a host home. Scenes include an absolute feast on the dinner table, skipping through the park, laughing heartily at chic-fil-a, grilling out a huge steak, eating a krispy kreme donut and nodding head. Bed time turn down service complete with mint, host mother reading a bed-time story. Children “helping” by doing taxes, foot massage. And other spontaneious things we film when we are on location.
Dream sequence ends abruptly.
WIFE
(shaking husband)
Honey, did you hear what I said?
HUSBAND
… huh?
WIFE
I signed us up to host an intern. They are moving in next week.
HUSBAND
Gasp!
TITLE CARD
Thanks for hosting our interns. You are truly a gift.

ok...i'm fearing being the dreaded, 'double commenter', but i don't see it posted...so at the risk of repetition...i said.
i think it sounds great! the only thing i'd add in, is during the dream sequence, how about a clip of the intern walking gleefully out of disneyland's front entrance holding a mickey mouse balloon, ice cream, and perhaps the ears!
lookin forward to the final product! -
