I'm looking to go out and purchase 2-3k in camcorder equipment and start working on pet project films before I go to film school for my masters once I finish my Bachelors in Business. So during these next 2-3 years before I head to film school, I want to get some practice in. So I come to the ingenious minds of AT and ask for story ideas.

Example:
Two Main Characters, best friends. Murders are happening all over the small city. You slowly find out that the murderer is one of the two main characters, so a choice has to be made as to weather to kill the murderer, or save his best friend?

Any suggestions appreciated. These are just pet projects and if the suggestions keep flowing, I'll update the thread and perhaps release it by January 1st! :)

Also to note: My actors are FAR from good. But I'm a serious film maker and a pretty good editor. They've wanted to make a movie with me for years, but haven't since I didn't have the equipment, so a lot of emphasis will be on the characters actions and not so much one on one emotion.

Ahhhhh ATOT. The only place where a guy planning to purchase several thousand dollars worth of video equipment decides to ask a bunch of gazillionaires that are banging models (when not debating what constitutes "bulk" beef or extolling how much they love their cat) about potential movie ideas rather than hitting up every average-or-above looking chick in a 500 mile radius to star in his private "film" project.

1. buy equipment
2. solicit hot looking "actresses" to star in adult-oriented films
3. profit!
4. start website to sell adult-oriented films
5. ???
6. profit again!!

The easiest thing to do with sucky actors is movie trailers. You do voice overs for most of it, so it doesn't matter how bad they are.

How about a short film about a guy who's the CEO of a company in a meeting. People are all around him trying to tell him how his company is going down in flames if he doesn't do something. Then you have voice overs where he's thinking about completely asinine things as they're talking to him.

Manager guy: Sir, we've been taking huge losses now that our competitor has come out with a superior product!
Manager guy (inner voiceover): This assbag isn't listening to me at all. We're all going to be out of work if he doesn't do something.

CEO: I'm not convinced that this is the real cause for our problem. We should put together a focus group to study the situation from all angles.
CEO (inner voiceover): This assbag thinks he can tell me what to do! I'll show him who's boss around here. Damn, I could use a taco.

Manager guy: But look at this chart, it clearly shows that on the day our competitor released their new product our sales dropped 80%.
Manager guy (inner voiceover): What a moron. The freakin focus group can study my ass!

New secretary enters and hands the CEO a memo.

CEO: Let's bring in a consultant group to be sure that these figures are correct.
CEO (inner voiceover): I like consultants. People that don't know anything about the company have much more important opinions. Damn, she has a sweet rack.

Manager guy: The figures are clearly correct. There is no possible way they could be wrong. Consultants would only cost us more money that we are no longer bringing in.
Manager guy (inner voiceover): Consultants suck. Damn, she has a sweet rack.

CEO: A consulting group will bring to light where our products are failing in the marketplace.
CEO (inner voiceover): Dammit, where's my taco! Oh, yeah I gotta tell someone I want one.

CEO to secretary: Could you order us some mexican food? We're going to be burning the midnight oil on this one.
CEO (inner voiceover): mmmmm.... I like your boobies! mmmmmm.... boobies, boobies, boobies... motorboatin in the rack... bbbrrrrrrr

Secretary: So, you want tacos again?
Secretary (inner voiceover): These morons are so distracted by my fabulous rack that they have no idea I'm selling all their company secrets to the competitors. I wish I could eat a taco too, but then I'd get fat and not make as much money! money, money (in Billy Idol style)
