Protip: If you don't finish in time for the deadline, just polish the production a bit more and hand it in for the regular demo competition!
If you need someone with a different field of expertise, try asking a mentor if they know someone with the required skill set.
ftp.gathering.org has loads of old productions that you can use for inspiration, including fast intros from 1996 and onwards.

Fast Demo is a multi-discipline competition where one or more people make a standalone 'demo' containing several themes in a very limited time frame. The themes are released at 10:00 and one has about 8 hours to program, model, draw and design something that incorporates the given themes. A lot of productions will focus on humor to impress the audience. Often the themes will lend themselves to such productions being based on memes and current events.
This year's themes are: Synthpop, telephone booth and circus!
It's time to start drawing, designing, modeling, coding and composing. Don't despair if you're not producing high quality artwork, no one expects that from a fast production.
For more information about this competition you can read the rules for Fast Demo on the competition system.
As always ask the mentors if you're stuck or ask on IRC (#tg-creativia on EFNet) if you're curious about something. There's also an excellent info desk at the Creativia Lounge. Use it!
