Truly Outrageous

Episode: The Beginning
1: The Beginning
2: The Challenge
3: Fire!

Description: Script 5 episodes: version #1 Movie 5 episodes: version #2
The very first clip of the series is from above the street where Jem and the Holograms are about to step out of the Rockin' Roadster with fans waiting to see them.




This is interestingly the version that appears in the recap in the first Starbright episode.


A similar but completely redrawn background without the airship flying by with "Jem" printed on it, and a helicopter flying by. Not sure if this is the first or remade version.


The picture zooms in a little bit, and out again, and in the background the instrumental of the song "Outta My Way" by the Misfits is playing.

When Jem has stepped out of the roadster and fixes her hair and reporters gather round her with microphones.




Re-animated: Even the spotlights behind her.

The next clip when a close-up of Jem's face is shown.




This close-up is shown directly instead of zoomed in.

The second clip of the cemetery, when Eric is reaching for Jerrica telling her she has his deepest symphaties. (Picture to come)




Re-animated clip. A blooper is hereby created because Jerrica gets pink eyeshadow.

When we first see Starlight House, and the inside where Kimber plays the guitar and Rio comes walking with a ladder.

Showing the Starlight Girls Lela, Ba Nee, Joellen and Anne cleaning, Ashley sitting in the couch, Aja vaccuuming and Rio walking by with the ladder again right into the view.





Cut clip: However, part of this clip can be seen in the recap in the next episode.

After Jerrica's plumbing accident and the Starlight Girls come telling her they have problems.

Ashley jumping into an armchair saying "What a dump!", and the armchair breaks.




The line, but not the scene.
Cut scene.

Right after, a view of Starlight House from above and zooming in.




Re-animated background: A front view of Starlight House and zooming in.

When Jerrica, Kimber, Aja, Shana, Rio and Mrs. Bailey are discussing the problems in Jerrica's bedroom. Kimber says the line "and we need new plumbing and furniture".




Cut line. Kimber's line is cut out. Makes sense that they cut this out since they removed the only scene which showed us broken furniture, the scene with Ashley. Not sure which of these scenes was removed first though.

After Mrs. Bailey tells Jerrica that Emmett always used to get money for Starlight House from Starlight Music.

Jerrica is first outside Starlight Music's entrance. The doors open automatically and she walks into the building of Starlight Music. At the reception, she is stopped by a new male guard hired by Eric.
Guard: Your name miss?
Jerrica: Where's Harry? He knows me.
Guard: Ah Mr. Raymond fired him. I'll have to clear with his office.
The guard picks up the phone. Jerrica runs by, and into the elevator.
Jerrica: You do that.
Guard: Hey.





Added scene.

After Jerrica has gone up with the elevator at Starlight Music.

Part of this clip (except the first part of it which is zoomed out) also appears later, in the episode "Kimber's Rebellion", where we also see Eric turn around. This might have been inserted from there somehow, and might not have been in the original segments.





A clip of Eric from behind, sitting in his chair, zoomed in, before Jerrica actually enters his office.

After Jerrica tells Eric she needs money for Starlight House.

Eric: Well this is a business Jerrica, not a charity.





This might have been included in the original segments though. Because there weren't alot of new scenes created in the movie version, so it was probably just cut from here.

Inside Eric's office. After Eric has introduced the Misfits to Jerrica.

The Misfits drive into the office with their instrument shaped motorcycles.
Pizzazz: Hey Eric, like our new toys?
Eric: They'll look great in your next photo session.
Jerrica: Get those monstrosities out of my father's office.
Eric: It's my office now.
Pizzazz: Who is this twerp?
Jerrica: I'm Jerrica Benton and I own half this company.
Roxy: So what? We're the Misfits.
Stormer: Yeah. You can't tell us what to do.
Pizzazz: Stay outta my way, or else.
Jerrica: Or else what?





Added scene.

Music video: "Outta My Way" by The Misfits

Different animation. The building says "STARLIGHT" at the top. I would had guessed this was the retake, since it's supposed to say "Starlight Music" at the top, but they probably just made an error when redrawing the background and forgot to add "Starlight Music". The problem here was apparently that the Misfits were driving out of the building from the wrong place and wrong floor, somewhere on the second highest floor through the elevator. They were supposed to drive out from the top floor which is where Eric's office is located, as we see Jerrica take the elevator up there.
5 episodes: version #1 Movie 5 episodes: version #2

5 episodes: version #2

Added clips: The following screencaps are all of added clips. Also at the end of the song, when Pizzazz sings "Don't you get in my way" for the last time, the words "my way" are cut out.


Description: Script 5 episodes: version #1 Movie 5 episodes: version #2
The transition from the music video into the scene after in Eric's office.






Re-animated. The end of the music video where Pizzazz sits into the throne, was re-animated to look pretty much the same, and has a smooth transition to Pizzazz sitting in the armchair in Eric's office.

Right after the above.

A short clip that shows Pizzazz, still sitting in the armchair, but with Jerrica and the other Misfits seen aswell, right before the view switches to Eric.





After the music video where Pizzazz sits into the throne, it cuts straight to this frame zoomed in, and is then zoomed out.


Obviously this frame was cut out from here, since here the frame before (the clip above) is frozen for a second. Freezing a frame to cover up where they cut another frame, is done more times in the movie version, as you will see.


After Jerrica has left Eric's office.

The Starlight Express is first seen coming from straight ahead, before switching to the side view and then an outside view of a dark Starlight House with the wind blowing.

It's worth a mention that all of these clips appear a little later in the same episode, where I'm guessing they all originate from.




Only the part with Starlight House.

Added clips.


The first part of the clip is missing, where The Starlight Express is first seen coming from straight ahead, but the rest is there.

Right after the above.

Jerrica is sitting by her desk, looking into the mirror.





The candle almost seems to be in Jerrica's hair and the flame isn't surrounded by light.


The candles we see on screen have different animation, and the right one has changed position to outside the picture.

In Jerrica's bedroom at Starlight House. After Kimber tells Jerrica about the little box on the desk.

Jerrica is sitting in front of the mirror holding the box of earrings.





Re-animated clip: Her arm is slightly thicker/shorter and her eye shadow is lightblue (blooper created) instead of pink. Her hat originally had double stripes of blue next to each other. The main thing here might have been that she didn't look very happy in some animation cels while seeing the earrings for the first time, she almost looked disappointed.

The very first time we see Synergy, from behind when she is facing Jerrica sitting at her desk.




Synergy doesn't start talking until the view is changed to show Synergy from the front.

Synergy starts talking to Jerrica in the first view of Synergy.

Same as in 5 episode version #1.

When we see Synergy from her front for the first time.




Re-animated clip, perhaps because the head wasn't following the body correctly.


Re-animated clip: Creating a third version. Synergy now appears to look more straight forward into Jerrica's eyes, rather than too much to the right of Jerrica. Notice how they even re-animated Jerrica, they colored the pink and blue stripes on the dress the opposite to the original? But the hat is correct. And also, Jerrica is placed much higher up.

After Synergy says "Jerrica Benton, I have come for you" and we see a close-up of Jerrica.

Commercial break. And this is also where part 1 of the original segments ended.




After Synergy has introduced herself and said she is has come for Jerrica, there's a commercial bumper. After that there's an outside view of Starlight House by night with leaves blowing in the wind.




Added clip. A clip taken from slightly earlier in the same episode.

Shown when Synergy says "You will find instructions in the earring box, follow them".

A short clip showing the reactions of the Holograms.




Appeared slightly earlier.

Moved clip.

After Jerrica says "There's nothing there".

A short clip showing the reactions of the Holograms.





Moved clip.

When Synergy says "I'm waiting for you Jerrica".




A zoomed in view of Synergy.

When Jerrica, Kimber, Aja and Shana are taking the Starlight Express to the Starlight Drive-In for the first time.



The Starlight Drive-In was named the STAR DRIVE-IN.

The sign of the "Starlight Drive-in" poster where it originally said "STAR Drive-in"


Re-animated clip: Corrected to "Starlight Drive-in".

At the Starlight Drive-in, after Synergy says "Thing are not always what they seem". When Synergy walks through the wall.




A shimmering yellow light has been added in the spot where she enters the wall.

At the Starlight Drive-in, after Jerrica asks Synergy who or what she is.




Different animation. Synergy, the entire computer and her face looks different. She looked a bit too happy before.


Back to the original background for the computer, while Synergy's face is changed.

After Synergy says "I am Synergy...", and zooming out and moving the view to the Holograms.

A short clip where we see Aja's and Jerrica from behind standing in front of Synergy.





The previous frame is frozen.

After Kimber is turned back into herself and says "that's even better".

Aja turns back into Kimber, Shana into Aja and Kimber (who is first invisible because of a blooper) into Shana.





Contains a blooper.


Cut clip. Although the scene contained a blooper, this cut made the scene difficult to understand.

After Synergy tells Jerrica that the earrings are remote micro projectors.




This clip was also included a little later in the episode when Jerrica asks Synergy for her help on the cliff.


Different animation. The close-up of Jerrica's earrings is changed into making it glow.

When the Rockin' Roadster first appears.

Before rising up out of the floor, we see Aja standing to the left watching some green beams appearing in the floor, and then a close-up of Jerrica and Kimber. Kimber saying "Oh wow".





Added clip.

Right after the above clip, when the Roadster actually appears out of the floor.




Re-animated background. Noticed how they removed the strange parts behind the left front wheel.

The first clip of Eric's band contest in the park.




Re-animated. All of the Limp Lizards were re-animated. Music: We get to hear more lines of the song "Broken Glass" by the Limp Lizards before they reach the chorus.

After Eric has introduced the Limp Lizards. Eric introduces two extra groups.
Eric: And what about the Leatherettes? Did you like the Space Cadets?
Pizzazz: Our turn girls. We've got it made.




Added scene.

In the park, when Jem projects a hologram of Jerrica which she points to.




Different background. Instead of a tree in the mdidle of everything, there's some kind of a wall behind Jerrica.

After the above, when the screen has moved to the right.

We see Eric come from the right in the screen, moving to the left, on his way to talk to Jerrica.





The first we see of Eric, he is seen in front of the blonde woman standing in a close-up view to the right on screen, before we see him continue to the left but now from behind her.


Re-animated. Here the blooper is corrected.

When Eric and Jerrica meet up on the stage right after Jem and the Holograms performed in the park, and Eric is starts talking about challenging Jerrica.




Re-animated frame: The speakers are re-animated, looking the same in shape, but with a more cartoonish version, and having the sky in the background instead of the ground.

After Howard Sands has said that he will give a movie contract to the group that wins the contest.

The Misfits are standing by the stage where Jem and the Holograms just performed, and Pizzazz says "We're gonna win that contest!".





Moved clip.

After Howard had also offered his mansion for the contest.

Same scene as above.

Description: Script 5 episodes: version #1 Movie 5 episodes: version #2
At the basement of Starlight House. After the Starlight girls have confirmed that they only need 30 dollars more until they can buy a new refrigerator for the house, and Ashley says "Whoopee doo".

A view of Starlight House. Switching to the basement (wich we originally never see). Rio is walking around with a flashlight, trying to fix the fuses with a screwdriver.

Rio: Come one, come on... no.
Jerrica comes down with a tray with something to drink and eat.
Jerrica: Rio, I thought you'd like to take a break. Any luck?
Rio: Not yet. That fuse box is ancient, and so is the wiring.
Jerrica reaches to hold Rio.
Jerrica: Oh, I don't know what we'd do without you.
