Title: I want $10,000
Post by: Jayce on May 11, 2008, 10:41:54 pm
NOW!
Well... soon...


Okay so anyway a recent competition has caught my attention, it's for Western Australians like myself only and so I figured myself and a few friends should get in on the fun...
The competition is called Show us your nuts, and like their promo video states; no it's not some amateur porn modelling audition...
http://www.loconut.com.au/ShowUsYourNuts/Featured.aspx

Basically the gist of it is to submit a video that you've either randomly captured or created yourself and submit it to them, the most popular one based on the votes wins $10,000.

Why am I here?
Because, I need your help.

My friends (bless their cotton socks); are pretty brain-dead when it comes to creativity and well, pop-culture antics aren't really our strong points.
What I'm asking from the community here is what you would like to see a bunch of west aussies doing in a random video, we're pretty much open to any feasible and non-stupid idea.

Of course, if we were to go forth with it, it would be nice to also get the voting support too, when the time comes later down the track.
But anyway, for now I'll just mention a little about ourselves to sort of spark the idea bulb.

We are cool nerds, the kinds of people that are really into their gadgets and shit but can also hold a conversation with a girl and eventually get somewhere with them too...
We are DDR players, around Level 12 footers so we are pretty fit and can do a lot of running around if need be...
Pretty much all of us hang out or work at arcades, so it would be likely that we could even use those venues to aid us in our production.

The problem is reaching a global audience, something just about anyone can find good to watch, because of who we are we pretty much only appeal to a select crowd, so that is why I'm coming to gaming world (the bag of mixed nuts), for help.

If this is the wrong forum, please move it to the appropriate place and I hope to see some replies soon. ^_^

Talk about how much you hate George Bush, most of the world will enjoy that.

Maybe I just don't like you.

Okay so interview a kangaroo about his political views regarding george w bush and american society as a whole, meanwhile cutting to a random scene of my friend freerunning through a cemetery, falling into a lake and then....
Yeah...

more ideas...

btw kangaroos actually live in the cemetery nearby so this is very plausible.

Then you record someone's mouth and superimpose them into the kangaroos faces, like this:

But there's no such thing as 12 footers in DDR... Unless you're referring to In The Groove (if so, you've got my support!) ITG > DDR.

As to ideas I have no idea.  :fogetshrug:

If only you could come up with something simple like the Free Hugs guy, or the people who freeze in place at locations. Dress up in a poorly made kangaroo costume and dance in the street in front of a crowd of people.

Do all this but in Claymation.

Also ask the kangaroo what his opinion is on zoos.
