ARE YOU READY TO THROW DOWN?
INT. SHOT
A crowded college gymnasium. One section is filled with the college's student population. Camera pans over crowd who perform their varied cliqued cheers prior to the start of the game.
MEDIUM SHOT
Scoreboard. Slowly move in on the time. Countdown goes below ten minutes.
CUT TO entrance door.
Show dusty black tennis shoes shuffling in through the door frame.
CUT TO LONG SHOT
Old man. He knows every single person in the crowd, and acknowledges those that address him as he walks down the bleacher pathway. He clearly holds a significant place in the school's history (camera slowly dollies in to man's face as he walks).
CUT TO REVERSE LONG SHOT
Old man sits by himself on the far end of the bleachers with a bag of peanuts, placing a cane beneath his feet and starts eating.
JUMP CUT
Home team player introductions. Each player comes through after their name is broadcast over the PA system. They all have their own high fives to perform at the end of their team tunnel.
CUT TO
Close up on team's huddle as coach gives them last minute details about the game. Camera slowly paces back and just over the huddle you see the Old Man standing up and setting his bag of peanuts down.
CUT TO
Close up. Old man turns toward the camera, and cups his hands around his mouth (as he moves, the camera begins to pace backwards revealing the crowd all turning towards the Old Man...ready).
Just watch the video to see what happens next. The Mother Flocker wants to try and make this happen at the rest of the ERAU Athletic events this year. It would be awesome if we could pack the far side bleachers and have everyone doing it at the same time. This actually does happen at the Kissimee/St. Cloud high school basketball game. The Kissimee fans go nuts.
