What
do you do when you have the images, musical scores and font
used on the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
title cards? Create fake title cards of course!
Back
in December (not April) of 2002, I decided to play a practical
joke (once again) on the He-Man and She-Ra
fans that visit He-Man.org's Bulletin Boards!
I
came up with the idea that further episodes had been created,
but not fully completed. So to tease the fans I created
just the title cards of these "lost" episodes.
The real trick was not to be too obvious. No one is going
to fall for an episode called "Count Marzo's Return"
or "Skeletor's Origin." The best thing to do is
be really vague with the titles. Something like "Nothing
to Fear" is perfect!
There
are a lot of little surprises in these cards, like Tom Tataranowicz
directing two He-Man episodes, animator Sherry
Wheeler writing an episode, and the one that was supposed
to give the game away (but did not); Michael Halperin writing
an episode. People realized it was all one big scam when
I created the final title card, which was definitely not
the title of a He-Man episode (as you will see)!
