Whelp,school this year has taken up a lot of my free time. Hell,I hardly have time to customize! But I've found another hobby. It all started when I was given Video Production as my elective. I've always loved the Idea of making movies,and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so. But,I wasn't tasked with JUST making movies,but I had to write scripts too! So every 2 months,my teacher gives the class a major film project to do. First,we were tasked with making a Suspense film. Second, music video. Third, infomercial. I recently asked my teacher what the next genre would be,and when he said he had no idea,I suggested making an adaptation of something that hasn't been adapted to film before. He liked the idea so much,that he actually made it the theme! Now he hasn't announced it to the class yet,but he told me that THAT was the genre. So I started thinking. Whats something I can adapt,and make it work around a high school budget without it coming off as cheesy or bland? Then it hit me. Quite literally.
Punch Out.
Im going to adapt Punch Out.
Now,Im a high school senior. I cant rent a boxing gym and film there,I wouldnt have the time or money. So Ive come up with a basic premise. Im looking for some feedback,by the way. Anything helps! Let me remind you,things have been changed in order to work around this budget. Basically,a Punch Out re-imagining
"Little Mac Is a down and out boxer alone in San Diego. One day while running through the San Diego scenery,he spots a short,portly man sitting on a bench. Ignoring it,he continues to train. Later,when practicing at the gym,he sees the man once again. Curious,Little Mac asks him who he is. The man introduces himself as Mario,and extends an invitation to an underground boxing competition with a big cash prize hosted by the eccentric "King Hippo". Champion gets to fight Hippo in a 1 on 1 match. Little Mac rejects Mario's invitation,but thats only until Mario mentions that Super Macho Man will be there; Little Mac's rival. With revenge in his eyes, Mac joins the competition to regain the glory that Super Macho Man once took from him."
Got any thoughts? Some Questions? Wanna give me Ideas? Id love to hear them! Im looking forward to making this,and Id love to hear what you guys think.
