kestrellOkay, this is a DIY effort, so the two things are separate.
The video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--eoCvrKfm4
is a sitcom featuring sad vampires to the soundtrack of Jonathan Coulton's "Bright Sunny Day."
Logo for dragoncontv.com. It's a lot like the NBC peacock, only with a
dragon.
Static.
""Dances with Wolverines" will not be seen tonight..."
Movie poster of Hugh Jackman and an indian chief, with the rolling plains
in the background.
SFX: Chopping cleaver, screams.
"...due to technical difficulties. In its place, we bring you this
feature preentation."
Static.
Establishing shot, 80s suburban home. Title (in Comic Sans font): "Fang
Friends"
Shot of Spike in the front hall throwing a dart at a dartboard with a
picture of Angel pinned on it. "Starring Spike" He turns to the camera
and nods, all cool.
Shot of Spike rocking out with a Rock Band guitar in the living room.
We see a fellow with black suit, white gloves, unkempt black hair, and a
pistol in his right hand. The pistol may be permanently attached, because
he is doing bills (or homework?) at the kitchen table, and is punching the
keys of his calculator with the barrel of the gun. "Alucard" (Anime
character) He sighs, and leans his head against his pistol hand.
Shot of the living room. Spike is still on guitar, Alucard has joined in
on drums. He now has a red coat over his jacket.
Shot of Spike lounging in easy chair. he catches a thrown baseball, and
throws it back, past...
"Edward Cullen" (who casually moves his head out of the ball's path)
Back to the Rock Band shot, Eddie on vocals, looking very emo.
Shot of Alucard answering the door. The balding man outside has an
American flag tie, and looks very earnest and cheerful. He is holding a
book, maybe a Bible. Alucard shoots him twice in the chest.
Shot of dining room table. Spike and Eddie both have paper and pens.
There are many crumpled papers. Spike is smoking and writing. Eddie is
blocked. There is an apple to his right, but he looks left instead, and
picks up his copy of "Poetry for Dummies".
The front door opens, and we see a witch type with long black gloves (with
white lace), red scarf and a fancy black hat, holding a pot up proudly
(like she brought over a home-cooked meal for the boys). "with Mina
Harker"
At the dining room table, Mina is winning a poker game. Alucard thinks
about shooting her, but Eddie puts his hand over the gun. Mina waves her
hand dismissively, unimpressed.
In the kitchen, Spike is opening a stove with smoke pouring out, then
ducking out of the way of Mina's fire extinguisher.
Eddie answers the door. There are a couple of teenyboppers outside
holding up Twilight posters. He closes the door wearily. (He holds a
coffee cup, and it looks like he hasn't had enough of it yet.)
In the kitchen, Alucard is chopping a cucumber. He holds up his hand, from
which he has accidentally cut off the index finger. Which seems to mildly
annoy, but not pain him. Incidentally, his white glove has mystic sigils
in black on the back.
A blonde sneakily lets herself in the front door smiling cheerfully,
wielding something floppy. "and Buffy Summers"
Shot of the boys all sitting on a sofa, then turning around to see Buffy
aiming a bow-and-arrow at them. Alucard and Eddie dive for cover. Spike
turns back to the TV, unimpressed.
The boys are drinking wine, Eddie and Alucard from wine glasses, Spike
straight from the bottle. They are standing in front of a window, and
outside, Buffy can be seen. She brandishes a stake, but falls over
backwards, out of shot.
A sunny balcony. Eddie comes out and starts to glitter. Alucard comes
out and poses dramatically (I guess his anime mythology doesn't care about
sunlight). Spike comes out and starts to light a cigarette, but then he
starts smoking rather more literally, and dashes back inside. "created by
Stephen Granade" Eddie and Alucard glance backwards at him, amused, then
return to sunning themselves.
Static.

Outtake: the boys drinking wine in front of the window. Director voice:
"Buffy! Go!" Buffy rises up in background. "And oh, who's that at the
window?" Boys all turn to look at her. Buffy falls over, apparently
unscripted, because the director cracks up. Buffy gets back up, rather
embarrassed. The boys look non-plussed. "Are you all right?" Door
opening as someone goes out to check on her. She apparently says she's ok
(indistinct), and all the boys crack up. "Is he going to hug her?"
Director (laughing): "Can, can you do that again, like (breaks up)."
General hilarity. "...actor!" "What was awesome is that she was out

she's fell. She's fallen, she's broken her neck."
