I was somewhat inspired by my own experience with ADHD, but turned up to eleven. Using the framework of AphukenbrakE, I also chose a pun name, gave it a logo and a fake scientific name (procrastinozone), and set off making my script.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-2-color has-contrast-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-6fbc09b3875e4058d9967ef9c38e145f has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-facafb6f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-d1c656ed wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:0;flex-basis:60%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ae24f51d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"min-height:100%\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file is-style-rounded\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gitofyurass-Script.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"PDF embed\"><\/object><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500;line-height:1.2\">The Script<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to put together the best and most ridiculous script for my ad, I came up with a framework of what I wanted the ad to look like in my head (see: bracketed scene descriptors), and then tailored my jokes to said framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, while doing my voiceover, I read through the script several times in different voices&#8211; the goal was to nail that &#8220;condescending therapy-speak&#8221; voice. The kind that makes you roll your eyes, you know the one. My best representation of that voice eventually landed on a mildly androgynous and breathy tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, I took my voiceover into FL Studio to do some basic vocal enhancement, like gain staging, compression, EQ, peak reduction, and de-essing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d89aad35 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-549b0c86 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-8a368f38 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<p class=\"has-heading-font-family has-x-large-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;line-height:1.2\">Presentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:0\">To finish, I presented my video in front of the class. I was happy to get some chuckles, smiles, and giggles from the crowd, as I felt quite proud of my final work.<br><br>I did develop a newfound hatred for stock footage websites. Due to time constraints, I didn&#8217;t have the time to be able to film all the scenes myself, so I needed to use stock footage. Lemme just say, so many stock footage sites are absolute scams. You&#8217;re telling me I have to pay $50 a month to download like 5 videos, and they only charge annually (meaning $600 upfront)?! No thanks. After an hour or so of searching, I managed to find a somewhat affordable library of footage. Never doing that again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p9 Humor Celebration StellaC\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZDyPiGKTusw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Gitofyurass&#8221; Spoof Medicine Ad For my humor project, I chose to make an ad for a fake pharmaceutical product called &#8220;Gitofyurass&#8221; (a play on &#8220;get off your ass&#8221;).
