2nd draft

Eddy: Hello, and welcome back Alameda to KNGY this is Eddy Duchin show, I'll get the news to you first! The time is 8:00 pm and the weather tomorrow is high's in the 80's, which is a big surprise from that storm we have been living in all week.

E: Well we are taking callers who are going to be in the county fair this coming weekend. Hello, caller you are on live with Eddy Duchin.

Jim: Hello Eddy, I'm uh well Jim, and I'm calling to hear if you know anything about whats going on at the Shipyard, near the Naval base.

E: No, I'm sorry Jim, that's not the right answer but are you going to the county fair this weekend?

J: No, I'm not but there are these moss like creatures all over and there's a lot of people gathering and--

E: Sorry, to cut you off Jim but I was looking for people bringing pie and some 4H girls who are trying to win some blue ribbons for their sheep. I'll let you know if I hear anything about the Shipyard Jim, thanks for calling and here's a word from our Sponsors

Sponsor

E: I interrupt this message to let our listeners know that there seems to be a situation going on at the Alameda ship yard shore line across from the Naval base. I have had several callers call from the surrounding location to confirm about the mysterious moss creatures.

E: I've have sent out the KNGY on the "scene team" with Bob Needlemin to give us a better insight into what's going on. When I get back from this break out team should be ready to give us an update.

Sponsor

Bob: Live from Alameda's Ship yard on the north side near the Naval base I am Bob Needlemin from KNGY here to report about these moss creatures. I've only just arrive and already the streets are alive with activity. Hundreds of cars line the streets with more on the way hopping to get a glimpse of these creatures. As I make my way towards the large crowd on the shore line about 100 meters away I can see one man has picked up one of these creatures and is-- oh wait, there is a strong alluring sweet smell in the air now and--.

Only the sound of waves that cuts back into Eddy

E: Bob, Bob? Are you there? Well it seems like are having some sort of communication problem. I am going to try to get Bob back on the air. Back in a minute from one of our sponsors

Sponsor

E: I'm eddy Duchin on KNGY reporting on the mysterious moss creatures. we were unable to contact Bob Needlemin and get him back on the air. there seems to be some sort of uh, situation going on near the ship yard. I can hear sirens in heading toward the scene. All of my callers line's went dead. KNGY is actually only a few blocks away from the ship dock. I'm going to go out and try to assess the problem for my listeners.

E: If your just tuning in I'm Eddy Duchin reporting on the mysterious moss creatures that are appearing on the shoreline near Alameda's ship yard. I'm currently walking out of the studios here at KNGY with the help of my producer to get a better idea of whats going on for you listeners at home. I'm just stepping out the door and you can already hear the sirens from the firetrucks heading toward the scene. As I walk down the street I am getting small whiffs of candy? No, wait its getting stronger now, I smell a sickly sweet. . . .

static for a few seconds before it gets cut off.

More Sound effects

Alright as far as sound effects go I need:

1. firetruck, police passby
2. ocean noises
3. thumps, a couple?
4. possible scream
5. static/ noise tv makes before they say this is an emergency broadcast system or some bad electronic noise for the ending.
6. foot steps
7. electronic ping

Wiki reasearch

Some of the reasearch that went into making my radio show:

Question of when payphones came about:
Pay phones were preceded by pay stations, manned by telephone company attendants who would collect payment for calls placed. In 1889, the first public coin telephone was invented by William Gray and installed at a bank in Hartford, Connecticut. The invention quickly caught on, and by 1902, there were 81,000 pay phones in the United States. By 1905, the first outdoor pay phones with booths were installed. By the end of 1925, 25,000 of these booths existed in New York City alone. In 1960, the Bell System installed its one millionth telephone booth. After the divestiture of Pacific Bell (California) and AT&T in 1981, it wasn't long before independent stores selling telephones opened up. After that privately owned payphones hit the market. Unfortunately due to excessive vandalism, this market struggled.

Rough Draft

Rough Draft of how the radio show will go down

- Start off with announcer giving the weather for tomorrow
- gets a call about a strange moss like creatures near the shoreline right off the Naval base and asks questions about whats going on.
- Goes into a comercial break from sponsors
- breaks into the commercial to say there are more callers calling about infor of these moss like creatures that are causing problems. they are thought to be dangerous and are spurting out unidentified spurs into the air, and already one man is injured from these visible spurs.
- breaks into a commercial
- More reports that these creatures are all over town. officals are advising residents to stay indoors, untils matters are solved
- Commercial break
- Radio team sends out a reported to the location to investigate the situation. He gets too close smells a strange sickly sweet sent and then we hear nothing but the ocean background noises.
- Radio announcer says they are having a communication problem
-goes into a commercial break
- Comes back and says he is walking through the studio towards outside to get a closer look for the listerns, opens the door then all you hear is static. . .......

Creature

So I finished (mostly) my "Creature", after one set back I think I am (mostly) satisfied.
Well here is what I did:
1. First I took two halves of a ball of clay and made pinch pot bowls.
2. I attached those two halves together to form a ball with a hollow center.
3. Because there is an air pocket in the center I was able to roll the ball around to get the shape I wanted.
4. I then made the imprints of the areas for the spiky parts by pressing them in with my hands.
5. I used more clay and attached it to the ball and got the look I wanted from a needle tool.
6. Next I used a real dried starfish and imprinted my texture to the shape.
7. After I got the piece to the way I wanted it I waited and waited for it to dry
8. Then I threw it in a kiln (here is where it slightly exploded on me)
9. I glued all the parts together, with a 5 min epoxy (lifespan one year) and then I painted it using acrylic paint.
