Okay, here's the deal.

I'm wondering if any of you fine DVXusers can think up a short 30sec to a minute idea for a video to release the children at a church service.

I'm fresh out of ammo at the moment. I've been trying to think of something good for the last 3 weeks and now I'm desperately asking the online community for help.

So any takers?

I'm not sure I understand what you need. A 30-60 sec video on what?
 
The video runs at the end of the announcements and tells the kids that they are released to their classes. I'm trying to think of a creative way to present that, like a little skit, instead of just a slide that says "Kids are now released to their classes."
 
Do a big loud flashy "RED ALERT!!!" graphic with alarms and everything, then have a "spokesperson" come onto the screen and calmly explain that all children are now required to leave the room and report directly to BLAH BLAH BLAH. There is no room for adults. Should a child see an adult attept to exit the sanctuary at this time the child is to report such attempts as soon as they are safely outside of the sanctuary.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
 
Expanding upon Owen's idea... you could use the following verbage:

Attention all planets of the Solar Federation!
Attention all planets of the Solar Federation!
We have assumed control!
We have assumed control... **

Then, have a couple of guys in alien costumes come in and order all the children through their space-time continuum portal (doorway).

Some might argue that this method would confuse the children's concept of religion, but I say it would scare the devil right out of them. :)






** Most youngsters wouldn't catch the whole Rush 2112 reference.

I have two that are already done, but even those have gotten old, it's time to do something new. You can see one of them in my portoflio. www.finaldesignstudios.com it's called "short people".

This is great guys keep them coming, I wish I had asked sooner.

EDIT: But yes, I do try and rotate them and make two or more for each batch.

Maybe have a woman dress as a stewardess, then get some props similar to they have on a plane, the pamphlet, a water ring as flotation device... make up a goofy speach, then at the end point out the exits with short clips showing the doors... something to that sort.
 
How about featuring hands doing the "this is the church and this is the steeple" thing but do a little compositing or VFX and have all the fingers detatch and go to class.
:grin:

Not being morbid, just give all the fingers googly eyes and have the hands have googly eyes that look sort of confused or something when the fingers leave.
 
How about the head of a Spy Kids like secret Agency comes on like he's speaking to them through a video screen ands says that they have a mission and then make some jokes about perils they'll face on the way to their class like forgetting where it is. And then send them off on their mission.

And the whole time there's like dramatic Mission Impossible music playing or something and a burning fuse or something ... na wha I sayin'
 
How about:

Satan and his minions are coming ! Run to your classes little victims because the 7 headed beast is coming ! He's hungry tonight and your little names are on the menu !

Then an evil laugh Muahahahahahahahahhahahah ! and then some CGI beast comes in and attacks the announcer
 
Get a Ben Stein impersonator to appear on screen and calmly tell the kids they have a choice to make. They can either go to children's church or they can stay with the adults and listen to a dramatic reading of the Old Testament geneologies. Then just have the guy start reading for the next minute:

"And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth. And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters. And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos. And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.."

The kids will run out in about ten seconds tops.
 
Have St. Peter & St. Luke come on-stage & tap on the mic a few times...

St. Peter: You've been a great crowd, really you have...But now the show's over.
St. Luke: And Ya don't have to go home...but ya gotta get the hell up outta here!

After the gunshot, pan to a picture of Dick Cheney w/ a gun...

Then have a kid actor in the room fall over with fake blood on him.
 
Have all of the doors lock Amityville Horror style and then hear a whisper voice say 'Get out!' and then have blood pour from the ceiling and fake fires start and then have the Waco Police Squad bust in followed by Leatherface and his chainsaw

I know that'd get me moving to my classes
