Hi Hong Teck! Here's the concept that Spencer and I thought of. We're thinking of using a mixture of video and live-stage action. What do you think? If it's ok with you, we'll go ahead and make the necessary preparations.
Sandra: Hi Sandra, would you be able to help us make the cardboard model of the two lifts? If you have any problems or the timeline's too tight for you, do let me know ASAP...
Noah: Could you help us come up with a draft script for the concept below in the meantime?
Misha, Viv: Just FYI... jiayou with ur studies, Misha!
God bless,
Yeu Ann

Characters:
Dan
Well-dressed business people
Big loud boss
Humble uncle toilet cleaner
Spencer will source for Dan, Boss and Uncle.
I'll ask the Hope Drama ppl for the well-dressed biz ppl.
Props:
- a cardboard model of an executive lift suite.
- a cardboard model of a cargo lift (like the Nexus one).
No need doors for the lifts. Size would be to fit about 5 or 6 ppl each for both lifts.
Filming:
TBD by Yeu Ann separately (arrange with actors schedule)
Soundtracks:
- Pink Panther theme music
- A three-stage fart - one short burping fart, followed by a series of short, machine-gun farts... followed by a long majestic fart.
- Hallelujah chorus =) [hope it's not too irreverent! :P]
Concept:
A young neatly-dressed businessman stands between 2 lifts.
Let's call him Dan.
One lift is very posh. Executive Lift. We call this the Proud Lift.
The other lift is functional. Cargo Lift. We call this the Humble Lift.
All the well-dressed ppl in business suits try to squeeze into the lift. Dan tries to squeeze in with them too. But the rest all glare at him, saying that he's not important enough to take the lift. Dan is pissed off, but has to get off the lift any way.
So Dan stands there staring at the Proud Lift's closed door. He groans and says, "I'll never make it to the top. It's a HUNDRED storeys!" He prays and ask God to help him.
Then an old uncle cleaner taps him from behind. Dan turns around. The uncle asks him, "Hey, you want to go to the top?"
Dan replies yes. The old uncle points to the Humble Lift.
Dan is stunned. What? Me? But I'm so well-dressed. And the lift is rather small leh. What if it even breaks down?
The uncle smiles. You want or not?
Dan thinks for a while. Then he decides to take the Humble Lift.
He gets in with the old uncle... and whoosh! He finds himself up there really fast. Wow! Praise God! I'm here so fast! "Of course... only you and me are using this lift!"
Then Dan wonders what happened to the occupants of the Proud Lift.
We show a clip of them all crammed and stuffed into the Proud Lift - which has BROKEN DOWN. They are all moaning and complaining and wiping the sweat off their faces. Suddenly the most well-dressed boss has a strange look on his face. We hear a long majestic fart followed by the opening bar of the Hallelujah chorus.
The video ends with all the occupants staring in doomed horror at the farting towkay as the screen fades.
