anyone have any really good ideas for a 3 minute film that I can steal so I actually have something to present tomorrow

@scoot a guy vandalises a decrepit building and then sets himself on fire, it is ambiguous as to whether he meant to or not
-
@tiffany That's actually not bad at all
-
@scoot I had the idea in my head for ages due to a song and it's been rattling there, might as well be put to use by some talented bugger
-
@scoot Do that thing with the "I've called you here today because one of you . . . IS A MURDERER!" And then someone gets up and bolts all guilty-like and everyone's like "Wow I never expected that from Dave" and the main person is just "Wait, no, it wasn't them, it was me!" And the lights go out and people scream.
But, you know, dragged out for 300x the length of the Vine it probably deserves to be. -
@tiffany I'm just unsure if my tutors will go for it
-
@scoot what are the criteria
-
@scoot Main character suddenly becomes aware of non-diegetic filmic elements e.g. soundtrack, jump cuts
-
@scoot Grainy, man wakes up, Realizes he doesn't have an idea for a film yet... He goes through hilarious hurdles just to get one.
Filled with TV Tropes -
@thelastgherkin I'd love to do that, sounds a bit like a Duck Amuck sort of thing. I dunno if I'll get the OK on it though, they are shooting down a lot of ideas.
-
@metaltao Literally on the "Do not make this film" list. It's suggested every year apparently.
-
@scoot that's hilarious
-
@scoot I knew it
-
@scoot A baby is crying. Superimposed on the scene is stock footage of what should be joyous, happy things. The baby continues to cry as the footage changes. Birthdays. Disneyland. Sunsets. At the end, the imagery switches to tragedy and horror. The baby smiles.

@scoot Man erotically transforms into a toucan for 3 minutes
-
@scribus I'm pretty sure that was an anti-semite propaganda film
-
@scribus I like the idea, I guess I forgot to note that it needs to be animation
-
@scoot It IS very Duck Amuck! I thought of it for a film studies project back in college. Shortly afterwards I realised the inspiration was that bit of "Forest of the Dead" where Donna Noble mind is stuck in a computer and she keeps recognising the jump cuts.

@tiffany God damn it, I'm always ripping off Hitler....
RDN's Lucifer and orungano like this. -
@scoot Maybe a short film where a reclusive character has trouble making friends and socializing but takes solace in looking out to the stars every night through their telescope, and at the climax we see them look into their telescope, cry, smile, then we hard cut a parallel shot of an "alien" character doing the exact same thing, with both finally realizing neither are really alone in the universe.
-
@ceruleanspark Actually a really difficult thing to make
-
@scoot But perhaps more rewarding as a result
-
@scoot You're telling me
-
@scoot A dragon steals and tries to eat a sheep but instead they become friends and have silly adventures
