synopsis-
heroes united is a about a small group of superheroes-Heat, Mist, and Caliber and there daily life. it follows them routinely until there is an event that tears them away from the one person they love, trust, and cannot function without. it is a story of how the group comes together to fight for their friend and resque him. it is a tale about how much one person is important even though they themselves don't know it.
as it is written here is the first 10 pages... they are a little loose and are in need of tightning and is still being worked on but this will give you an idea of where the whole thing is going. the scripting thread can be found at...

THE INTERROGATION
EXT DAY EST POLICE HEADQUARTERS The police headquarters is a stylish building with sleek and modern lines. It is also a throw back to earlier architecture. A quick glance shows the rest of the city in the background.
INT DAY POLICE HQ CORIDOR A corridor leading up to the interrogation room where several police are standing around waiting anxiously for the outcome of the proceedings in the room.
INT DAY INTEROGATION ROOM HEAT, CALIBER, LUNATIC. HEAT and CALIBER are 2 superheros and are at one end of the interrogation room and the LUNATIC is seated at the other in chains that secure him to the floor. there is a table between them. There is a sign on the wall that says no smoking. There is a bulletin board with wanted posters all over it and hanging light in the middle of the room. The superheros are dressed in their customary designed dress. CALIBER is a gadget guy with a utility belt, body armor, and a face shield. HEAT is in a pure spandex number, red and orange with no cape and a big H on his chest. both are men that are well buffed superheros HEAT being taller and more buff. HEAT is well groomed with little or no wear and tear but CALIBER is unshaven and disheveled. He looks as though he just woke up or needs another cup of coffee.
Heat
Do you mind if i smoke? It is a bad habit i know but i really don't have to think about those types of things.
Lunatic
go right ahead.
Heat
My name is, well it doesn't really matter what my name is. All that matters is this is what we are going to do, you are going to tell me everything you know and
(he gestures to caliber)
my friend doesn't bash your head in.
Caliber
I've been know to do it too. Especially if i haven't had my coffee. I came here to drink coffee and whoop a little ass and were all out a coffee.
heat
He's an animal- that makes you two peas in a pod.
caliber
I'm not all bad, it's just my conditioning.
Heat
please realize this- we may be in a police station bu we ain't no police. And we aren't here to read you your rights ad we aren't here to treat you with any kind of respect. We don't care how we come by the answers that we seek just that you tell us the truth.
Caliber
we protect this city in the real world. We follow the laws of nature and of common decency. We have no real beef with you lest you act stupid.
Heat
just give me something- anything- a name, a description anything that will point us in the right direction.
Lunatic
what say i start at the beginning, which is kinda weird, some would say, i thought that it was the end.
Caliber
that's nice. Kinda like a flashback.
Lunatic
Have you ever had that moment of clarity, a moment that makes everything before it crystal clear. Something that makes your life before it obsolete. I was a normal vanilla guy. I kept to myself and never did anything out of the ordinary, definitely not out to change the world. But i have had that experience. That mind altering – life changing experience that has made my life worth living. Too bad it came too late.
Heat
let us say that i understand what you are saying, which I'm not sure that i do, and i might add isn't getting us anywhere. Geeze what in gods name is that odor.
Lunatic
that's just embalming fluid- I'm dead you know.
Caliber
strange, you look dead, but you're not acting like it. Believe you me I've seem my fair share of dead people and none of them acted the way you are. Oh sure some of them twitched a little bit but you are a this is something completely different.
Lunatic
do you always count on what you see?
The lunatic get agitated and starts to rustle the chains that got him chained to the floor.
Lunatic cont'
are these completely necessary- i want to be here. I need to be here just as much as yo want me to be here. They are beginning to be uncomfortable
Caliber
oh you think that we care even a little bit about your comfort we are not the police, they have graciously allowed us the use of their facility but we abide not by their rules. I care not of civil rights but of justice - i saw what you did to those people- this is for the safety of the citizens of Emerald City.
Lunatic
bla, bla, bla, you're just chicken.
(caliber lunges across the table attempting to strangle the neck of the lunatic)
caliber
I'll kill you, I'll kill you dead.
Heat intercepts caliber's lunge and keeps his hands away from the lunatic's neck.
Caliber
come on man i just want to rough him up a little. The little punk's got it coming. look at him, he is just praying for the sweet release of death.
Heat
all in good time my friend. Do you really think beating out a blood splatter is the way to go about extracting information. We need to play this siko's game a little longer until we find out what exactly is going on here.
Caliber
then we exact some vengeance.
Heat
then he'll get whats coming to him.
Caliber
alright then.
Heat
now you say you're dead. Well you look freakin dead i guess there's nothing wrong with that except being against all laws of nature. I guess i believe it but it points to some bazaar stuff.
Lunatic
oh yes, I'm gone. A former person. Doomed to walk the earth destined to fulfill my master's wishes. Something extraordinary has happened to me and too you. It really is too bad that it took me dieing to get that moment of clarity that i needed so much. Now i have a purpose.
Heat
A master? what master? you strike me more as a lone wolf kinda guy.
Lunatic
That would make your job so much easier wouldn't it. I am one of many. Master is THE one. I'm not allowed to say- he won't allow me to say.
Caliber grabs a hold of the lunatics shirt and pulls him close to his face.
Caliber
come on you can tell me- i promise I'll play nice.
The lunatic chomps caliber's face and misses just as he gets out of the way.
Lunatic
if i told you everything how would i have any fun. This is all I'm programed to do. you think this is fun for me. I got nothing else to do. It isn't like i can go out and go to an amusement park like this.
Caliber
yeah think of the children
the lunatic and heat both turn slowly to look at caliber and then at each other.
Heat
All I'm after is what you did with my friend? What really was your roll in the events of today? Ultimately, where is this man?
heat pulls out a picture of Hank and plops it down in front of the Lunatic.
Heat
and how do i get him back.
Lunatic
can i at least have a drink of water.
At that moment the door to the room opens and a hand with a glass of water pokes through the opening. Caliber takes the glass and hands it to heat. Heat applies a little heat to the glass and it starts to steam. The lunatic takes the still warm glass and sips it lightly.
Lunatic
mm mm. Warm. Now as i was saying. Now what was i saying?
Caliber
you weren't .
lunatic
ah yes. I was saying that this is going to be an interesting journey, what a story to tell for you and i, and even him. Master has this all planned out. Oh what a grand time.
Caliber
why don't you just cut to the end-we will be more than happy to accommodate.
Lunatic
you just don't get it- you were the kind of boy that jumped to the end of the book to see what happened. When are you going to realize that life is about the journey.
Heat
but you are dead. An we are running low on time.
Lunatic
not my life yours. Don't you understand life is what you make it and sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
Caliber
save the motivational slogans for a pair that care. Lets get this over with and you will be free to fly your freaky flag someplace else.
Lunatic
okay, okay, i was just minding my own business and i was shown the light of his words. He breathed for me and now i am destined to fulfill them.
Caliber
who exactly?
Lunatic
I'm not sure.
Heat
you must have some sort of idea. Who do you think it is?
Lunatic
someone with the power of Armageddon. I can feel him inside me. He tells me what to say and i say them.
Heat
your mind is weak.
Lunatic
i am dead.
Caliber
do you fight it?
Lunatic
what would be the point of that?
Caliber
so you are saying that you don't mind killing others?
Lunatic
why should i care? The master will fold them in just as he folded me.
Heat
we are talking in circles. Just tell me where to find him.
Heat holds up the picture Hank. NOT smiling.
Lunatic
i cannot tell you that.
Caliber
but you do know?
Lunatic
no i don't.
Heat
who does?
Lunatic
my master knows all.
Heat
well where is he? Maybe he can give us some answers.
Caliber
he wants us to know- I can tell you want to tell us. So come on man just spill it. I am loosing my patients.
Lunatic
all in good time. The solution is right in front of you. Look. Feel. Know when it hits you that the facts are presented in a way that celebrates death.
Heat
it sounds like you want our friend to die.
Lunatic
on the contrary he will die and live.
Caliber
what exactly is that supposed to mean? Never mind .
Lunatic
i cannot tell you that. You are going to have to find that out on your own.
Just as the lunatic says this a medallion hanging from his neck catches the eye of caliber. It is a silver medallion that is hung by a non-descript chain.
Caliber
what is that?
Lunatic
oh you see it. Good. It is the shield of faith. My faith is not in what i see.
Caliber
i have seen this medallion before.
FLASHBACK

END FLASHBACK
caliber
i think i understand some of what you are saying now. Who gave you that?
Lunatic
who do you think gave it to me?
Caliber
it couldn't be.
Lunatic
dude- i 'm a dead man walking. Don't you think it could?
Caliber
No, no, no. there is no way.
Lunatic
He's dead to right... or is he.
Caliber
come on man i think i know where to start.
Lunatic
that's good because it's my time to go.
With that the Lunatic snaps his head to the side and falls lifeless to the ground.
accomplished so far...
the script is about 50 pages and i am shooting for 120.

voice acting
character modeling
character rigging
character texturing
background filming
fx
compositing/editing
music composition
