1. Don't forget that Universal Mind Control by Common.
His music video isn't that bad.

2. Dance Choose by TV on the Radio isn't that bad either

3. Rise by Flobots

Music video idea

These projections of the artists are preforming.

And the end the actual artists come in and play with them and then the actual artists disappear.

Then the projects fade out all pixilated.

Horrible Song

But the color car thing is pretty awesome.

Killer Amungst Us

An troubled man who seduces women and kills them later.

Pretty much taken from "Night of the Hunter" but still I do think that's a really good suspense idea.

So how about a really sick brother knows that he's doing this so he tries to warn his sister but he's done this before so it's kinda like a boy who cried wolf. Anyway, she meets this man after her brother drove away the last one and now he's actually killed her.

Motivation for being with someone.
Love.
They have something.
They are CLOSE TO SOMEONE!
OH SHIT!
THAT'S GENIUS!

Okay, so, long time ago the brother, before he was sick was really important. He must have something of value. Something like money but not like it because he lives with his sister. Uh. Maybe a really nice necklace or something.

NO NEVERMIND!
FUCK THE BROTHER PART!
So, the killer is a lot older than the brothers sister which is what first drives him to suspicion. It turns out that he knew their mother as a child and their was a really fancy necklace that she had that drove him...um...

So I don't really have anything besides, "a man that seduces women (completely) and kills them for his motives."
I guess I'll have to research some killers and see why they kill. Smarter move. I'll come back to this idea.
Ready. Break.

Short idea

Time how now become a monster and is swallowing people whole. When they get eaten everyone gets put in a different period in time.

In order to solve these...strange cases, scientists give up their new robot to the police. He can travel through time. He's got, like, weaponry and junk too.

It's late and I couldn't sleep

So I thought about my animation project and the kinda stuff I would like to do.

And I thought about "My 4 Worst Break Ups"

1. I.S. (Miss Misery or Everest)

Brendan: Hey there, pretty girlfriend!
I.S.: Hi.
Brendan:...
(pause)
Brendan: What's going o-
I.S.:I wanna break up.
(pause)
I.S.: I've never really liked relationships anyway.
Brendan: But, we've been dating for 7 months. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I.S.: I dunno.
(Pause)
I.S. I'm leaving. Goodbye.
(pause)
Brendan: Bye.

Brendan's heart falls out onto the floor. Realizing that his heart is now out of his body he puts it back and and continue to look the same when she left.

2. D.E.D.

Brendan: So you wanted to talk to me?
DED: Yeah.
Brendan: What about?
DED: We've been fighting a lot.
Brendan: Yeah. That's kinda true.
DED: So I think we should see other people.
Brendan: Even though we've been fighting I did tell you that I love you.
(brief pause)
Brendan: And you said you loved me too.
DED: I did.
(brief pause)
DED: I don't want to see you again.
(shock)
DED: I'll talk to you if I have to, but I don't think we should see each other at all.
DED: Ever again.
(DED Leaves. There is a small pause and the heart falls slower than it did the last time. Brendan picks it up and his enthusiasm has dropped quite a bit since the last time.)

3. LN
Brendan comes out on stage to see LN with another man hugging and kissing. LN notices him and she stopps the boy and tells him to leave.
Brendan: What was that?
LN: You must've seen this coming.
Brendan: I didn't.
LN: Well, now is a good as time then to tell you...
Brendan: What?
LN: I honestly, just find you really disgusting.
(LN leaves. By now it is the hearts cue to come out of the body and it comes out slower than ever and Brendan doesn't pick it up right away. Instead the heart has to get up and with every squeaky step he walks over to Brendan and tug at his pant leg for him to notice. Brendan looks down, sees the heart and just kinda looks at it.)

4. E.M.
Brendan and EM are having a really good time. They are at a party and talking like they're getting alog really well.
Brendan: I have to go to my car.
EM: Oh, I'll come with.
EM and Brendan are now at his car. He kisses her on the cheek)
Brendan: Goodnight
EM: Wait.
Brendan: What?
EM: We aren't gonna see a lot of each other in this month.
Brendan: Yeah, cause you're going to Japan.
EM: And after that I'm going to Hawaii.
Brendan: What? You never told me that.
EM: So, this is the last night I will see you before we go to college.
Brendan: Really?
EM: Yeah.
Brendan: Why didn't you tell me? I could've made tonight special.
EM: I'm sorry.
(Pause)
EM: I'm gonna go. I'm sorry.
EM kinda scampers off like she's about to cry. Again, right on cue, Brendan's heart comes out just like it should, but this time when the heart falls to the floor so does Brendan. The heart gets up and speaks)
Heart: Come on. Let's keep going.
Brendan: I don't think I can

Title Page

Because the aurthor felt horrible for the character he decided to grant him one wish. Here's how that one wish was spent.

We now cut to Brendan in a giant robot suit towering over the city shooting missles and desytoring the city and laughing at all of the mayhem. Planet Terror is playing.

And that's it.
I think it's a solid plan.

From what I've noticed...

Every Sci-Fi show/movie that I've seen is also influenced by another genre.

Star Trek -Westerns
Cowboy Bebop - Film Noirs
Firefly -Westerns
Star Wars - Kurisawa samurai movies/ the Samurai genre

except for 2001: Space Odyssey, that's just artsy and on it's own. Something that I love because no matter who you are you will take something away from that movie. I'm not saying that every part of that movie is amazing but because of the different plots there is a story for everyone. The most popular one is with Hal 9000, which is genius. Such a cool story. Anyway.

So, if I was to make a sci-fi movie, I think it would have to be meshed with another genre and I am thinking Middle Ages.
Everything is just starting out, planets are just starting to be colonized but all of the communication has been destroyed between the new colonies and now it's a lord of the flies situation. Or maybe there was a crash, or maybe settlers starting a new colony. I'm just saying I think this idea could grow into something with a touch of brilliance.

For realzies!

I really wanna do something in space.
After re-watching a couple 2001 clips and some Firefly episodes I really think that space is a place full of creativity cause we don't know whats our there.

DRAGONS!
or maybe...MANTA RAYS!

See. It's possible, because it's space.

Style choices

As I have been reading and learning more and more about the history of film, I've come to a couple conclusions.

1. All directors have a style.
2. All directors have a type of story that they tell and by this I don't mean that they tell the story in a certain genre over and over again, I mean that the meaning in each movie is the same, they just expand on it constantly and in new settings.

My answer to both of those points.
1. I think I'm gonna mess with back and white and color. Not like Frank Miller who does it for style but I love the representation of b/w and color. When things are clear cut and theirs evil vs. good, black and white, but when things are supposed to go a little deeper then use color.
I also wanna do something creative camera angles. The camera is the window into the audiences soul. Finally, when I work with film I think that I'll dim the brightness of everything. But, I guess this is depending. I've always believed that I'm actually a nice person (even though I might not be) but I like to think good of mankind. So I guess high film exposure would be a good idea.

I guess I don't have everything thought out like I thought I did. But who does.

2. the types of films I want to make will mostly deal with people falling from grace. This seems t drag audiences to the theater. However, I will avoid the gangster film genre at all cost, because, it is played out, and most of the time their stories are just about falling from grace. I also think that my first film will be "Try and Catch the Devil" followed by "The Way Some People Die"

I also wanna make a surrealist film entitled, "Mental Damage."

New Ability

Whenever I fall, I feel as if time is slowing down for me to realize that this is what's happening.

What if anytime this person has to see an event that is really happening time slows down?

Again, just an idea.

Music Video

A guy keeps walking around and colors keep trailing him.

Cling! Vroom!

Chainsaw connected to a chain.
You can do acrobatics with it.

Anything really attached to a chain is kinda creative.

Poltregiest

How about, when ghosts take control of someones body.
They have to do it with strings like with puppets.
To talk it's like its a computer or something...

Alec's movie idea

Maybe the future.
Different society.

There is a society that makes a person re-enact the life of a Christ like figure.
The guys turns out to be an ass hole.
Comedy ensues...(I hate that word)
Like bad santa...BUT WITH JESUS!
Not stealing stuff. Just a douche bag.

Ba-Ba Black Sheep.

This is a really, really silly idea.
But that seems to be what I do so well.

Sheep crime drama.
Script should write itself.

Ahhh, I'm kidding.
I'm just kinda under a dry spell so I'm really just writing down anything that pops into my head.

The only idea that I've had in the last couple of days is an old man on his death bead is given one chance to travel back in time for any reason he chooses.
I don't what that could be but anyway...

Well this journal has never been about solid ideas.

Other mini-ideas:
Club Dancing Pig
people that flicker on and off like static
stage performers that are stuck in some fantasy and think that they are in the middle of a play that has no ending. (surprisingly kinda solid)
People or animals that have to relive the most important parts of their lives for only 15 min.
Peoples limbs keep sliding away from them. Coming apart because of a rupture in space.

Old ideas:
Babies that fight on the internet. (Via Wi-Fi)
A man who tries to commit suicide but every times he does he just feels the pain of his action but doesn't die.
A man is one a date and sees a play but later the date disappears and he is stuck watching this horrible play but can't leave cause there is NO WAY OUT!
Zombies that turn into hurmans. (Cheezy)
Double-dogs
SCI-Fi story
(I had more but that's why I gotta write these down)

Stolen from Arrested Development
(A society that lives on a colony that is upheld by zeppelins)

What Happened?



This was last year.



This Year.

Come on guys...
You used to be cool.

Sunday, September 14, 2008

I am really upset..

about the quality of music videos.
Seriously, it is infuriating.
Do people even want a good product anymore? It seems like they just want the same old dribble handed to them with a spoon.

I'll show you what I mean.
Whatch all of the videos that were nominated at the VMA's.
All of them.
Mostly (with exception of Gnarls Barkley's "Run," Kanye West's "The Good Life," Death Cab for Cuties, "I Will Possess Your Heart," Weezer's "Pork and Beans," and Coldplay's "Violet Hill").
look the same.
All of the rock music videos are just the bands looking edgy.
All of the dancing music videos don't do any unique movies or have a unique look about them in any way.
The Hip-Hop videos are just the rappers faking emotion while they dance.
And then there is Britney.
Who has some how.
Surpassed quality all together and given us this video "Pieces of Me." It won music video of the year.
No.
It's horrible.
It's her kind of dancing and then her on Tabloid Covers.
That is a sliver of unique thought in between the most cliche music video ever made.

Here are my favorite music videos of this year so far.


Pork and Beans


House of Cards


Mr. Pitiful


I Will Possess Your Heart


If I Never See Your Face Again


for the time being I really like this one, but I know that over all it's forgettable.


Champion



I know some of these are kind of strange choices.
and I know that I don't have a lot of music videos here.
If anyone wants to share a music video just leave one and I'll tell you what I think.
I know that sounds dumb but I'm willing to open my mind to a bunch of other stuff here and I don't have any faith in the music industry anymore cause it seems that creativity has died.

Bruse Like A...

Peach Baby.
Babies that are either born from peaches or made out of them.

I think that's really cool.

Saturday, September 6, 2008

I forgot...



How much I loved this music video...
I am in love with giant mechanical bears from space.
That's incredible.

Transgalaxian Glow.

Tree's are able to grow things on them, right?
Like apples.
They should grow stars on them.
Cause it would be, like, 50 times more magical.

2 more things.

1. A video store that has a rip in the time space continuum in the history section.
If you put any movie in that section history will see it as fact.

2. A website where you can type in your dreams and they make a Hollywood trailer out of them.

Sorry it took so long.

So my friends were taking Slavia. And the idea's were amazing.

Everything is cell shaded.
Dew Goddess that is actually a demon killing everyone by making them all choke on dew.
A tiny man that controls your mouth. He tells you what to say by typing with his tiny hands on a huge keyboard.

I'm now working on a small project titled, "The Attempted Assignation of Andrew Jackson"
I tell everyone when it's finished.

Small idea

All I was able to think of today was an animal that shoots poisonous arrows.

More tomorrow.

New Idea

okay.
I will admit.
I don't use this thing very much.
This will change.
And I think I'm gonna do something really dumb but it's gonna help me start coming here a lot more.

I daydream a lot.
So I plan on writing down one daydream per day.

Okay.
Todays:

I wish I was a little boy, wearing a paper pirate hat in a creek filled wooden ship sailing the seas. All my friends would be shipmates and I would be pirate king. Except it wouldn't be the normal kind of Elizabethan kind of pirates who worked for the queen and destroyed Spanish ships. We, would be from the future. It would be like steam punk/pirate adventurers. We would all have cyber-engineered body parts so we could be better than the average sailor. I think a cyber-engineered eye would rock and I would make in the shape of an eye patch.
I'm trying to think of other body parts.
The comic relief one I keep thinking of is a arm with a claw attached at the end that keeps falling off.
Pistol hand is a cool one.
a robo-animal I think would be fun to see.
Robo-parrot, dog, cat all would be badass.
Um...maybe the ship would be alive.
Maybe. I kidnapped a princess from a far away land and made her heart in charge of the ship. Her heart keeps everything going and her soul changes the color pallet of the ship.
I wanna give her a mood crown as well.
Like, a crown that changes color depending on her mood. Cause that sounds cool.

And we pillage and plunder different towns taking the women and throwing them off the ship later.

A young boy with an tongue wet for adventure comes a long and finds and --in time-- falls in love with the princess. He takes her out of this cooling chamber and takes her away.

Well that's todays.
