Congratulations to Paul Fraley for submitting the winning pitch and many thanks to all of you for your creative ideas! Moving forward, it would be great to develop the conflict. Here is a slightly edited version of the pitch to allow room for development. Have fun!

It's a rainy day. Location is a country cottage where a guy and girl sit opposite each other. Guy is sketching the girl on an artist pad, as she plays along and tries to sit still. We catch a glimpse of what they could be doing, i.e. having a picnic on a sunny day, riding in a truck with the windows rolled down. Girl has made guy pose as she sketches him. We eventually see them reveal their sketches of each other. His is a beautifully drawn sketch of her, her canvas is empty. The rain has stopped. And she's out the door and guy stands in doorway as he watches her pull away. More glimpses of a brighter, better day flash by. The door closes.

Here are lyrics-

NICE TOMORROW

By Brian Sizensky

I know
I dont know much about you
Not as much as I thought I did now
I know
I dont see as much as I claim
Half as much I claim to see now

[chorus]
And it oughta be nice tomorrow
Whatchya think about that
Whatchya think about that
It oughta be nice tomorrow
Whatchya think about that
Whatchya think about that
Cause Ill be dammed if its not
Dont think you understand
Half as much as you say you do now
Cause Ill be dammed
Ill be dammed
Yeah

You know
You dont know much about me
Not as much as you thought you did now
And you know
Half of what youve seen go
Hasnt really gone anywhere now

[chorus]

Then you went
And threw a curveball in my gears
Now youve gone
And fired headlights on this deer
Somehow love
I saw me landing up right here

I know
I dont know much about
Hey, lets forget it
Let this one roll on

It oughta be nice tomorrow

A big Thanks and Congrats to Lisa for winning the PLOT stage of "Nice Tomorrow", the premiere music video for up-and-coming Singer/Songwriter, Brian Sizensky. As we move on to the CHARACTER stage of this process, we look forward to sumbissions that really flush out our two heroes. How can we better tell this story in the span of only a few minutes? As we will forgo the "dialogue" stage due to established lyrics, what can you help us discover about this guy and girl that will bring a dramatic twist, depth, and color to every frame? Who really ARE these two? (Remember...Brian (the singer) is NOT the protagonist....) Good Luck from SkyTown Entertainment!
