SCENE 1a Roughcut TC:

Dialog:

Visuals: Opening screen splashes with

water

Notes: From black (dowsers being used on projection) ...audio crescendos from a low pulsating beat (aka Jaws). At a momentary audio “hit”, the screen
Notes:
fills with water splash to a full “white out”

SCENE 2a Dialog:

Notes: Audio echoes as if POV of “coming too” from a “knock out “ punch. Bubbles fill the screen
Notes:

SCENE 3a Dialog:

SCENE 4a Dialog:

Visuals: Montage

Notes:
Notes: Feathered vignettes of masterfully handled kayakers wipe across the entire screen...against our “boiling” rapids

Right now were standing right in the
middle of what is the Olympic slalom
course here at the National
Whitewater Center….

Visuals:
Scott video over slalom course
USNWC Map

Notes: Background pano EFX to stylized treatment. Scott EFX to CS. Followed by push to SR with map support reveal
Notes:

SCENE 10a Roughcut TC: 00:47:00

Dialog:
The big part of this design process is
thinking about who's gonna use this
park, why they are going to use it
and try to design around those
needs.
Visuals:
Pop-ups over kayaking video

Notes: Stylized characters “pop-up’ over background to cover majority of screen

SCENE 11a Roughcut TC: 00:54:00

Dialog:
One of the neat things about the
way we built this course is several
adaptable systems allows us to
change the character of the flow…..
…..some days it’s easier.
Visuals:
Pop-ups over kayaking video.
Scott introducing systems

Notes:
Notes: Stylized characters cut dissolve away in rapid sucession to reveal next scene of Scott and B-roll to support

SCENE 12a Roughcut TC: 01:05:00

Dialog:
One way we do that is with our peg
board system.

Notes:
Notes: B-roll support continues to cover Scots visual description (framing treatment to push in scene changes through scenes 11a – 13a )

SCENE 13a Roughcut TC: 01:08:00

Dialog:
In a matter of minutes take what is
currently a gently flowing part of the
river and create a torrential hydraulic
right in the middle of the course.

Visuals:
Peg board flow test animation

Notes: See notes on 12a

Notes:

SCENE 14a Roughcut TC: 01:17:00 Dialog:

One of the things that the science
tells us is that if we pinch the water it
will actually speed up instead of
slowing down as it does with the
obstacles that it pours over.
Visuals:
Flow test animation - Gate closed

Notes: Scott pushes in SL while schematic animation supports “Flow Test” over subdued motion background
Notes:

SCENE 15a Roughcut TC: 01:24:00 Dialog:

These doors allow us to adjust how
fast the river goes as it goes down
the course through this very very
narrow, very very tricky section.

Visuals:
Flow test animation - Gate closed

Notes:
Notes:

SCENE 16a Roughcut TC: 01:31:00 Dialog:

We did that through the use of
stopticles. This is a stopticle here. ...
If I pull out the pin and pull the gate
in, in a matter of minutes I have
made this section wider ...
Visuals:
Flow test animation - Gate open

Notes:
Notes: B-roll support continues to cover Scotts visual description. Possible placement of video insets over flow animation (TBD)

Montage

Notes:
Notes: 3 screen timed offset of water pumps engaging - Audio pan of SFX to support

SCENE 19a Roughcut TC: Dialog:

Notes:
Notes: A series of offset cuts display water pumps engaging with Scott in the foreground

SCENE 20a Roughcut TC: 02:02:00 Dialog:

The park is laid out such that we
have a lower pond just out of view
beyond this pump station that’s
about 20 feet below this which is the
upper pond.

These pumps are used to bring that
water up to the upper pond and then
flow down each of the seperate
channels.

Visuals:
Include pump animation

Notes:
Notes: See notes on 12a

SCENE 22a Roughcut TC: 02:14:00 Dialog:

This pump station is what makes all
this white water possible.

Visuals:
Panorama of pump station

Notes: step by step build of pump station water release to full screen panorama transition
Notes:

SCENE 23a Roughcut TC: 02:25:00 Dialog:

This particular kayak is an
interesting story. Back before the
1996 Olympic games, all the kayaks
that were currently available...

Visuals:
Scott over kayaking video shots

Notes:
Notes: Montage of kayaks in water continue in background as colum video of Scott tracks left to right in foreground

SCENE 24b Roughcut TC: 02:50:00 Dialog:

So this design itself is not only my
senior project but the first ever
computer designed white water
slalom racing kayak.

... That actual design methodology
is still used today to make many
types of kayaks.

Visuals:
Scott over kayaking shots

Notes:
Notes: Scott on center screen 3rd. Video B-roll of kayakers push in SR an SL – freeze fade to black and followed by same transition

SCENE 26a Roughcut TC: 02:59:00 Dialog:

All through school and especially in
high school, you would not have
looked at me and said, that's an
engineer, that's a budding engineer.
I had trouble in math ...

Visuals:
Cartoons of school kids and equations

Notes: After fade to black dissolve up school kid characters and equazions to support
Notes:

SCENE 27a Roughcut TC: 03:19:00 Dialog:

When these things start to have real
world applications, even though they
seem a little boring now, at the end
of the day they give you so much
power to create things that people
could not create without it.

Visuals:
Scott with engineering shots

Notes:
Notes: Transition from kayak montage to shots of real world applicatios such as Power Dams and Hydraulics

SCENE 28a Roughcut TC: 03:36:00 Dialog:

Being an engineer is a great thing.
You're the guy that gets to decide
what goes where and how this
works and figure out whatever the
problem is whether it's boat speed
or how much water to pump up a
station.

Just from that decision from that
design you're able to create this
whole water world of things to do
and…

Visuals:
A variety of USNWC shots

Notes: Moving images of kayaking, rafting and related activities. Shots float in from SL, SR and BC over panning background.

SCENE 30a Roughcut TC: 03:52:15 Dialog:

…for me I love being an engineer
and every day we come up with
something crazy like that and it
leads to a whole thing again just like
this.
