Artcow WogglebugLoveProductions / Cynthia Hanson / Cherie Anne Hapney - One Womanchild's Fruitless Quest to Make Her Cockroach Husbando a Household Name

So what that I paid her for the coverage before she gave it to me. I wasn't really expecting her to give the script a Recommend.

So, you're just paying people and not expecting nice things in return? Now you're just being a cuck, Cynthia, come on

Her last film was something close to two hours. It’s been brought up over and over again that when you target shows to kids, you need to be concise. They’re kids, they don’t have much of an attention span. A further complication is that kids go through major developmental stages where different content will appeal.

With all that in mind, this project is fascinating because it has the core of a good idea - a magical adventure where a kid makes a friend and the friend learns a valuable lesson. It’s a reliable storytelling structure and in different hands could be fun.
Kids like all kinds of goofy stuff and a big weird bug could definitely grab their attention in a positive way.
Except this isn’t about kids or teaching moral lessons, it’s a one woman crusade to redeem a throwaway character from the Land of Oz. The awkward animation, the ever growing script, the reliance on scammers and shabby treatment of the others working on this project is priceless. You can’t make this stuff up.


Without meaning to, the Wogglebug has brightened my day. Godspeed Mr. Wogglebug.

Wait, did that person review a script for the movie that was already made? The synopsis of what that person wrote about sounds almost identical to what's in the movie from way back in the thread. What's the point of reviewing that? It's done.

 

[WogglebugLover]

Thank you, @TurboNAS for being more understanding of me than others here. But you still don't quite understand me and my project fully. And to clarify the first version of the movie of Sylvie and the Wogglebug which me and Richard wrote together was two and ahalf hours long and it has been shelved. The last version of it was a little over an hour and a half.

And to clarify for @John Waters Art Bong I have since that version of the film bettered the script it was based on and I received a Recommend for a new version of the script which may likely have a new film version. And regardless of what is good or bad about my animation I will one of these days have a professionally animated or even live action version of it made that will bring about the success I envision for it.

So what that I paid her for the coverage before she gave it to me. I wasn't really expecting her to give the script a Recommend. And she didn't give my other script a Recommend but she did give me a lot of helpful insight on how to perfect it. And she was professional enough to be honest with me, as were all of the script readers on there. I just feel after I'd worked so hard on that particular script for years and gone through multiple co-writers with it I deserved to have someone give it a Recommend.

So basically you're subscribed to the Russell Greer school of thinking: "I made an effort, therefore I should have won America's Got Talent!!!"

No hon, the real world dosen't operate that way, Merit =/= success. Effort =/= success. Paying someone to tell you you have talent =/= having talent.

This line of thinking hasn't allowed Greer to have a recording contract with Taylor Swift's production company and have Tay Tay become his personal bedwarmer either. You are staring the same fate in the eyes of trying and trying the same tactic and having the same result, but being SURE the next time will work!! as Russhole Greer is. And it ain't pretty to watch, only amusing in the way watching a cock-fight where one of the roosters has no spurs is amusing.

When planning entertainment or even lessons for children, a rule of thumb is their attention can be held for one scene/activity is one year = one minute. 90 seconds at a push.

Assuming this is for seven year olds, no scene should be more than seven minutes.

Try to eliminate any scene when they're sitting or standing around talking, unless something interesting is going on.

Does Syvlie need to be adopted? You could save a lot of time if her older sibling makes fun of her for loving bugs, and her parents are too overworked/normal to care.

Think of the movie Labyrinth - Sarah is a cosplaying weirdo, and her parents are basically like "whatever lol. just be back in time to babysit". That's fine, it's not about them. We don't know or care what their personalities are like, she just needs to have parents because she's a kid.

If you need Syvlie to not be with her biological parents, look at Shazam. The kid from that was being bounced from foster home to foster home because he was too much of a tearaway. Maybe Sylvie has been rejected by a ton of foster carers because she's too weird and bug obsessed! The latest foster father is a lawyer, defending a butterfly farm from a forced buy-out by property developers. He takes her there when he's talking to the owner. S/he could take the place of the creepy teacher who gives her the book with with the key.

These are pretty good advice. Also she should add an action scene at least every 10 minutes. Wogglebug could use his four arms to shank Vietcongs left and right with 4 combat knives.

 

[WogglebugLover]

@Puddleduck I will not use any of your suggestions for Sylvie in my script/film. My visions are my right to use. And her foster father has to be a scientist because it enables her to relate to him. His being a lawyer in one previous draft was actually Richard's idea and I am not allowed by him to use any of his ideas now besides.

@RomanesEuntDomus I know action is important to films but I don't need to have that particular kind of action in my Wogglebug movies. And how many times do I have to say it. He has two arms not four. And he is more of an intellectual hero.

This is great advice, but you're wasting your time, dude. She's not going to take any suggestions from anyone else because she's a self-centered autist who's set firmly in her ways. She's kind of like Andrew Dobson in that she thinks anyone giving her advice and suggestions are just trolls who are too stupid to understand her perfect, brilliant vision.

With all the good advice people are giving out, someone reading this thread could take all of this and make an actual entertaining children's book if they wanted to, honestly.

I know action is important to films but I don't need to have that particular kind of action in my Wogglebug movies. And how many times do I have to say it. He has two arms not four.

Think about it, it would improve the movie so much.
Also about that arm thing, just imagine what awesome stuff you could do with that. You could start out the movie with him only showing 2 arms, but at around the second act of the movie, he ends up in a fight against Jetpack-Ninjas (believe me, Jetpacks and Ninjas improve anything!), so he does some smooth Kung Fu style asskicking with two hands, before whipping out a pair of golden Desert Eagles chambered in .50AE, blowing fist-sized holes into anyone that's giving him lip.
The main badguy could grab his own two weapons and point them at Wogglebug, just as he whipps around his arms. As they stand there, surrounded by dead and dying mooks in a mexican standof, with sparks from the light fixture above raining down in the cold fluorescent light of the seedy brothel that they just wrecked, the bad guy rumbles "Looks like we're evenly matched" and Wogglebug just whips out his other two arms holding guns as well. Man, that would be so fucking cool, the kids would love it! All we need is to add a Schwarzenegger-like one liner. Maybe "I raise you two guns", but that lacks refinement, admittedly.

It's also a strong moral lesson to never underestimate other people and to not pick a fight in a rundown thai ladyboy brothel with a regular customer that's a battlehardened veteran such as the Wogglebug.

And he is more of an intellectual hero.

Well, you could showcase that by having him build traps and outsmarting his prey.

I laughed my ass off at this, I want someone to make an animation or comic based on that scene. Here's a one-liner: "No sir, you're the one out armed".

I like that one-liner, I like it a lot.

Also I guess that means my script has earned the "recommended" rating by KF standards.
@WogglebugLover, give the people what they crave, make it happen!

Maybe the main villain of the wogglebug movies is that princess that collects heads or the wicked witch but as a hot russian dominatrix/GI Joe Baroness-esque villainess that dresses in skintight leather and speaks with a sexy eastern european/french accent and she fights with a flame thrower/magic from hell/ .44 magnums that shoot out AK-47s and in the climax of the final film she transforms into a 50 foot tall eldritch abomination that is still some how sexy and woggle bug grows 50 feet tall and breathes fire and ends with him breathing fire down her throat, holding her mouth shut and she explodes into a million pieces.

"You know what they say; forewarned is..." Wogglebug puts on a pair of sunglasses, "four armed!"

Amazing how in just one post, you made a better and more interesting script than Cynthia did in years.

Of course you won't, you thick headed weirdo lol

Sweet Corona Chan.....you can't even tell the difference between someone giving you honest advice and someone taking the piss out of you! And you think you can write a children's story with appeal to today's kids?

You are WAY out of your depth and you make that more and more clear every post. I know you won't listen, but to save yourself from bad heartbreak in the future, give this up now, you cannot make it work. No more then I could design and build a skyscraper.

 

[Pronoun Party]

Fucking shame on all the cucks in here having rage fits and wearing out their keyboards trying to give legitimate advice. If Cynthia took any of it the utter screaming hilarity of future Wogglebug content would nosedive. Stop trying to ruin the thread. Cynthia, I believe in your vision, don't let these losers tie you down with their talk of "child appeal" or "legible plot." Follow your heart and exploit Fiverr for everything it's got, you're doing great.

The action scene suggestions are wonderful though, consider listening to those.

Tbh, you can say literally anything about her and her work, she will always ''follow her heart'' and ''exploit Fiverr''. I don't think words here affect her and her goals and aspirations.

I hope she does take some to heart, this movie needs to be a no-holds-barred action-packed thrillride and I will never stop advocating for that.

 

[WogglebugLover]

I've found a guy who is an autistic catholic on DevianArt who knows about me from this thread and he has written a few blog posts about me:

What's so great about a talking cockroack?

I HAET RELIJIN

Wogglebug Meme

Regarding the third one I just want you to know that picture comes from a version I wrote of "The Wogglebug's Book of Manners" that has been out of print for seven years. I don't associate with that picture or that version of my book anymore. And I also don't work with that illustrator of it anymore. In case you thought I had drawn the pictures in that version myself, I didn't. It was Mike Leuszler who did them. And I will agree his style wasn't right for me, and I didn't really choose him for my books because a publisher I was working with at the time and no longer am had chose him for me. I don't like the extra longer fingers either, and I don't know what Mike had meant by drawing them but for the record I'm sure it had nothing to do with pedophilia.

It was because of receiving bad reviews for this version of the book I became so desperate to change the illustrations that when I found a new artist who was the best for my visions I made the mistake of keeping the setting in Oz. I now have published the best version of "The Wogglebug's Book of Manners" that is set in Genoma the new and better fantasy world than Oz I created for him to give him the life he always deserved and wanted and he is there in this and the other picture books before and after it as if he wasn't even in Oz to begin with and that is as it should be. I have vowed I will never have manners toward the Oz fans ever again and any of my Oz-related novels that are in print now or to come to explain why and how the Wogglebug left Oz, keep my word to this.

This forum thread about me is little more than a documented collection of the mistakes I made in the past that I have since learned from. I am still struggling but one of these days I will succeed.
