Buddy Time
Spot Summaries
!
Our spots will be based on Group Two!
!
Hidden Joy - In this spot we’ll playfully highlight the Buddy Time fun going on through Grandpa’s interviews. Seeing how Father and Son have been hiding LEGO’s for each other all over the place in crazier and crazier places he’d love to get in on the action himself. After all, he’s always been an excellent hider himself. Joking with the camera, we’ll get a feel for how proud Grandpa is of both his son and grandson and how much he’s enjoyed watching them bond over LEGO just like he used to do when his son was little.
!
A Student’s Inspiration to Pursue Her Dreams - Via our mockumentary style we’ll learn how Tia, blue ribbon science fair winner and builder extraordinaire got her start from buddy time. Wistfully remembering the ‘good old days’ she’ll tell our documentary crew how it was really during buddy time that she learned she had a knack for building and creating. Talking to herself, she’ll mention how she needs to try and schedule a buddy session soon to brush up on her fundamentals. Naturally, our reports will have no idea what she’s talking about. As she monologues we’ll see via flashback how she and Dad got together to build things when she was just a young girl.
!
Trail Of Fun - In this spot, focusing on themes of mystery and fun, we’ll hear from Mom. In a conspiratorial voice she’ll tell us about the trails of LEGO pieces she’s been finding around the house, always leading to a secret fort where Dad is playing with his son. She wonders what’s been going on in there and she tells us she’s determined to find out! As she spies on them later they quickly bust her...not to worry though, after a secret oath she’s inducted into the club and welcomed into the fort, joining in on the LEGO building fun. !
