New Treatment

I'll make a movie about someone who has a bad habit of sleeping and procrastinating. His mom tells him that he shouldn't procrastinate because if something comes up at the last minute, he will not be able to complete his work. He has a history essay due in a few days and he keeps getting distracted when he goes to work on it. When there is two days left, he is about to research about something that begins with "y" and youtube.com shows up in his computers history. He decides to go to youtube for just a few minutes and then the camera zooms in on a clock which time lapses until 12 am.

Treatment

I'll make a movie about someone who breaks into someone's house and tries to steal something. The burglar gets hurt in the process and gets arrested. He sues the owner of the house saying that the owner hurt him and it was not an accident. The break-in scene will be a majority of the movie.

Movie ideas

1: A movie about someone who sleeps a lot
2: A movie about someone who procrastinates
3: A movie about someone who needs to think of a movie idea and cannot think of anything

First Thoughts on Shepard Fairy

My favorite piece of his is the dollar bill one. I think that a lot of his pieces were too repetitive. There were way too many pieces that just showed a picture of someone and said "obey" beneath it. I noticed that he often combined his pieces. He sometimes made a smaller picture as a whole piece, but then added it into one of his bigger pieces.

Final project

For my final project, I want to show someone getting arrested for illegally downloading music. The genre will be comedy. I plan on having the police overreact by coming in with guns and smashing the laptop and iPod to make the film funnier. I have some old laptops that don't work and airsoft guns that look real to use as props. I will use a calculator as the iPod so I do not have to break a real one.

Storyline

Goals for this year

My artistic gaol is to create a piece that people find entertaining and not poorly made.
