Special Heroes

A spontaneous Hero story for Christmas or an evolving story for a TV series

(Start) For the Christmas story improvised during a gathering, you or the Hero decides who will speak next just by pointing a finger. For the TV series each block starts out very rough and then is improved by anyone over days and weeks. Two ways to honor and compete for your favorite Special Hero!

For the TV series, each of the 20 blocks are improved over weeks by anyone on the internet. When you have enough finished and polished blocks, choose your favorites and press assemble. A custom 30 minute video is created for your hero in less than a minute. The Hero story can continue to evolve over years. The Broadcast episode is public domain. This means you can mix some of your own blocks for video, narration or graphics in less than a minute and use it for any reason except to sell the rights for it.

For the instant Hero or Christmas story during a gathering, you and anyone else can film. You might have 500 people filming. Everyone edits any block they like for time and uploads it to the right place. This lets the soundtrack be recorded from one source, by anyone or by mixing natural sound. For example, on a two day convention anyone can film a tribute on day one. Everyone who shot a block they like, edits for time and uploads that evening. The next day, anyone at the convention can create their own version of events in less than a minute. Weeks, months or years later you will have video from dozens or hundreds of sources already cut and polished ready to create instant episodes.

The list contains some generic terms. A comedy bumper means they are funny, an interactive commercial is a prize, gift or toast. If people are logged in, they can find the speakers page and exchange loonies or votes making it interactive in real time while they are speaking. A Tropical adventure is a celebration, dance or fun. Everything else is the story and can be tailored for the occasion.

Turn a Special Hero into a Super Hero!

Try the assembly of an episode. It takes about a minute.

Anybody from around the world can submit any block for any episode. For the spontaneous Christmas story you can include online guests by zoom. For the TV series, from a rough scribble, to rough narration to completed blocks anyone can jump into any idea at any stage of the production and improve it from there.

(This is in demonstration mode as we are in pre-production and no stories have been assembled. You will only see one or two choices instead of dozens. None of the links are active.)

This part is about the TV series. If you have seen the instructional video on the HELP link, start your treasure hunt on the Treasure page (If you are a dedicated volunteer with enough skill you can recycle to micro-fund a small production or just coffee!). Find volunteer missions that let you share good cheer and do good deeds that can produce video for your story. They can also create B-roll or train you as cast or crew! This is public domain media free to copy and paste. Everything is on a timeline. When you submit a script or link you become the Captain of it. When you collaborate, correct or improve, you become the crew. You can “Mutiny” by copying and pasting somebody else’s idea and forming your own crew to work on it. A Captain is always able to prove a mutiny because of the timeline. A mutiny is something that is encouraged among pirates as it improves the block. The original Captain can put down the mutiny and copy and paste the improvement and put it on their better timeline spot. Your mutiny might be forgiven or off the plank you go! Your goal is to become the actual crew of an episode and be paid in shares as one of the crew.

You are paid in two ways. Nonprofit shares for a scholarship or sports scholarship good for any 501 c 3 nonprofit including anything in the National treasure chest, and secondly, profit shares in an S-corporation.

The Coach gets 66% of the episode gross to support the Hero. The Coach keeps the Hero share within their monthly allowable earnings or within their management capability. 1% of gross goes to the Coach’s mama. (Mama is the person that referred the Coach.) The remaining 33% is split by time for the 20 blocks. The S-corp episode revenue is from selling commercial blocks G & K. All other S-corp revenue supports the vocational group home described on our about page. If you are the Captain of a winning block, you get the block percentage and divide it up unequally amongst your crew. To keep with our comedy pirate theme, the captain should pay himself at least 3 times as much as any other shareholder and create favoritism from brown nosers and misery for galley slaves like that old oar. The innocent are punished for their innocence with booby prizes to set an example of what could happen if the guilty earned booty prizes. This comical tyranny creates the best chance for somebody on the team to mutiny and submit their own block to compete against their captain and leave the captain adrift with nothing. (Basically the same plot, treachery, double crossing, psyops and false flag moves you see in any pirate adventure ever made! Bribe every judge you see early and often with our nonprofit coin call a “loony.” Judges like loony booty! Roll your treachery into “comedy bumpers” and start acting like a bunch of scurvy dog pirates!)

If a team makes it to Heat 9, that is when the producer makes the final choice for what 20 blocks will appear in the Episode. These are the 20 block Captains that will split 33% of the revenue by time. Episodes compete in heats but the blocks are chosen by the producer.

It takes less than a minute to assemble a 30 minute episode as shown above. The block description page explains each block. Start here. Anyone can make their own custom episode using any blocks they want and compare it to the broadcast episode for bragging rights to prove how much better their material is than what was broadcast.

The episode is first completed in Heat 9 as a narrated story. It can stay that way. Once it completes Heat 9, it can be updated with “live to tape” segments and final video for the broadcast version. It is hard to predict what will happen in blocks I, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T so for Heat 9, you make a guess. During Heat 9 you have a 2 second tolerance for any block or the episode. Heat 9 only needs to be broadcast quality for youtube and your polishing for broadcast quality lasts until your scheduled broadcast time.
