Video Transcript: Day 2

This approximately 64-second video is a school fundraiser explainer produced for the Domino's "Slice the Price" campaign. It combines live-action footage shot inside a real Domino's restaurant with animated cartoon characters — primarily a bumbling scientist figure called the Pizza Professor — to introduce students to the fundraiser in an upbeat, comedic way.

[00:00]

[VISUAL: Animated scene inside a cartoon laboratory. A bearded, bespectacled cartoon scientist — the Pizza Professor — leans over a workbench examining an uncooked pizza. He holds a test tube. Behind him, a chalkboard is covered in scientific equations and the partially visible words "MORE PIZZ…" Test tubes and lab equipment line the counter. A large oven sits in the background.]

[00:10]

NARRATOR: Hey, guys.

[VISUAL: The Pizza Professor straightens up and faces the viewer, his triangular cartoon head tilting with an eager expression. The pizza sits on the counter in front of him.]

[00:11]

NARRATOR: It's Ali, Pizza Professor, and Big Voice here from the Domino's Slice the Price fundraiser.

[VISUAL: Scene shifts to a brightly lit, cheerful version of the Pizza Professor's setting, now showing him standing proudly next to an enormous towering stack of pizzas inside what appears to a Domino's-themed lab space. A framed "Pizza Professor" certificate hangs on the red wall behind him. He wears 3D glasses and grins broadly. Lab beakers and colorful test tubes are visible on the counter. The Domino's logo appears in the upper right corner.]

NARRATOR: Hey, Big Voice. How about a pizza joke?

[VISUAL: Cut to a live-action Domino's restaurant interior. A teenage girl named Ali, wearing a denim shirt and white jeans, stands smiling and gesturing upward with one hand. The animated Pizza Professor character, now rendered smaller and placed digitally into the real-world scene, stands beside her holding what appears to be a fundraiser packet. Red bar stools, the Domino's logo, a "TRACK IT" sign, and a chalkboard reading "Yummy in my Tummy" are visible in the background.]

[00:20]

NARRATOR: Sure, Al. How do you repair a broken pizza?

[VISUAL: Close-up on Ali's face as she looks upward with an amused, expectant expression, smiling slightly.]

[00:24]

NARRATOR: With tomato paste!

[VISUAL: Wide shot back to Ali and the animated Pizza Professor standing together in the restaurant. Ali reacts with a groan, looking skyward. The Pizza Professor grins and gestures triumphantly, his head comically elongated with delight.]

[00:27]

NARRATOR: You're soooo cheesy.

[VISUAL: Ali stands with her arms slightly out at her sides, giving the Pizza Professor a skeptical, unimpressed look. The Professor reacts with exaggerated embarrassment, his head drooping.]

[00:29]

NARRATOR: What's the difference between a pizza and my jokes?

[VISUAL: Close-up on Ali's face, eyes closing briefly, expression shifting to mock-patient tolerance as she waits for the punchline.]

[00:34]

NARRATOR: My jokes can't be topped!

[VISUAL: Ali reacts with a pained expression, tilting her head back and covering her face. The Pizza Professor beside her throws his head back laughing, his neck stretching cartoonishly.]

[00:36]

NARRATOR: Thank you. You've got mush-room… for improvement.

[VISUAL: Ali throws her head back dramatically in a groan, covering her face with her hand. The Pizza Professor continues his exaggerated celebration, body wobbling with laughter. Both are still in the Domino's restaurant setting.]

[00:41]

NARRATOR: Okay. Okay. You only have two weeks to participate.

[VISUAL: Ali stands calmly now, hands clasped in front of her, smiling and addressing the viewer directly. The Pizza Professor stands nearby, head tilted sheepishly.]

[00:46]

NARRATOR: When you get home, you need to find an adult to help you out.

[VISUAL: Close-up on Ali's face as she speaks earnestly to camera, her expression warm and encouraging.]

[00:49]

NARRATOR: Together, you're gonna share your packet with family members, friends, neighbors, their coworkers, basically anyone who loves pizza.

[VISUAL: Cut to a bright animated illustration. A young cartoon boy in a green shirt eagerly hands a fundraiser packet to a smiling adult man in a red shirt, inside a cozy living room with a large window showing a sunny sky and green hills outside. A red tulip sits in a vase on a side table.]

[VISUAL: Cut to a shot of an actual printed fundraiser packet — the "My School / Domino's Fundraiser" form — laid on a wooden surface next to a tablet. On the tablet screen, an animated illustration shows three cheerful adults eating pizza slices together.]

[ON-SCREEN TEXT: "MY SCHOOL"; "DOMINO'S FUNDRAISER"; "SLICE THE PRICE" (on the printed packet); "Coworkers" (on the tablet illustration)]

[00:57]

NARRATOR: This has been another production from WPZA.

[VISUAL: Screen cuts to solid red with a single small white dot at the center, which rapidly expands outward — a broadcast-style transition. The dot grows to fill the frame, then resolves into a blue background with a large white circle containing a red, shiny, radio-station-style button logo. The letters "WPZ" are visible on the button, styled like a TV/radio network ident, spinning into focus.]

[ON-SCREEN TEXT: "WPZA" (on the logo button)]

[01:00]

NARRATOR: Your pizza party network. Pizza out!

[VISUAL: Cut back to the live-action Domino's restaurant. Ali stands alone, pointing finger-guns at the camera with a cool, confident smile, giving the "pizza out" send-off. The restaurant interior — red stools, Domino's branding, and the "Yummy in my Tummy" chalkboard — is visible behind her.]
