Got a little film idea (live-action).

     Alicia Pine is 17 and is doing good in school, but when she answers the front door she is stabbed
to death by the stranger she opens to. At the same time while she was being murdered, she was video
chatting with Matthew Plummer. He witnesses the brutal murder from a computer screen, and the murderer
notices the video conference, he walks a little closer, close to the screen to see who she was video chatting with,
Matthew then takes a snapshot of his face, which is mostly darkened by a mask, but his eyes are very clear.
The police are getting nowhere on the case so he uses social networking sites such as Facebook to find the killer.
He goes through all of Alicias facebook friends and compare the eyes in their profile picture to the killers. Nothing.
Matthew then checks his friends getting a few matches. But 3 people can't be one? So he looks at the time he took the
snapshot and went through their status updates to figure out if any where out or not, after numerous techniques used he
soon beleives he catches the murderer, but he does not know, the murderer is watching everything he does... through his
own webcam and if he solves the case, the murderer will be on his way to kill him.

Wanted to create some sort of story/idea about how social networking websites and 21st century technology (Cell Phones, etc.) solves a murder.

Interesting. I'd like to see a script. I really like the idea (even though it's just another murdering idea from you mini/XD).

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Wow. It would be a great ending if he does solve the case and die.
Pretty freaky.
Anyway LOVE that story. It got me interested till the very end.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

So this idea popped in my head just now, and I'm still writing on the backstory. Here it goes:
(Very basic) There's a homocide detective, let's call him Jack, and one day he messes up. He does something wrong, resulting in his partner getting killed. So there's of course also a killer, this killer knows exactly what Jack has done, but he doesn't use it against him. Instead, he kills anyone who's onto Jack (against Jack's will). Anyone who figures out what Jack has done, or is about to do, he kills. So some people have died and Jack, who already knows something is going on, gets assigned to the very case. The killer keeps killing anyone who has a clue about what Jack has done, via phone calls from the killer, Jack knows this. So he's chasing the killer that's actually helping him, but he still must catch him for obvious moral reasons, but cathing him would also mean him getting cought.

Thats basically it. Thoughts?

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Awesome. Only thought about that. Intriguing thriller, like I always wanted to see in a brickfilm. Now, DO IT!

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Yeah, lets see you make it, itll be awesome. PM me if you need voices! mini/smile

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

If I were to animate the famous short story The Sniper by Liam O'Flaherty, do you think it would be better with a narrator telling e the story (word for word of the short story) or if there were no narration or talking, just action and suspense and music, OR with the only talking being his thoughts (sort of an echo style voice you hear in movies when you hear someone's thoughts).

I might enter this to Snail3Production's Mercenary Contest, if he allows it.

If you don't know what The Sniper is, google search "The Sniper Short Story."

... i don't think it'll be a classic- unless you are a great writer and come up with great thing that got him "wonded" (wounded).

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Sorry for the double post.

New idea: Sort of sad music in the background...
a black expanse... and an all black minifigure "lives" there. But since his color blends in with the background (the "world") no one notices him. People just pass by, with out even a glance. He tries waving, getting there attention, but to no avail. At the same time, in another "world," the same thing is happening to an all white figure in a white expanse world. He too is sad...

Now I'll skip to the ending, somehow, they switch worlds, become noticed, and live a happy life amongst the other people (maybe all solid colors like yellow, orange, blue etc, or only other people are plain grey). Que happy music and credits.

What do you BiMers think? All I need to do is think of what goes on in the middle... any ideas?

EDIT: Anyone know a good 1920s criminal story, one with a great story plot and amazing action, not too much of each? Sort of like Lackadaisy (Alot of story, not enough action though, but the ones it does have are great) or Bonnie and Clyde?

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

THE SEPTEMBERFEST CHAINSAW MASSACRE
A month long convention is being held at a building for Septemberfest, honoring TCOTY. Brickfilmers world-wide come together
and attend the convention. But on the final day, a big surprise is being planned. Brickfilmers pack inside the building, but what
they don't know is an uninvited chainsaw wielding guest is going to kill each TCOTY fan. The fight begins to survive, fans look
for the killer who has already claimed various lives, but what they don't know is the killer is one of their friends. But will a few
parrots, fans, and shotguns save the day and catch the killer?

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

That sounds a lot like a story idea I proposed in chat once...with Aled being the chainsaw wielder.
