Sounds like you have the wrong attitude for coming up with ideas, anything can spark an idea at any time, sometimes you just need to tell someone so that you can remember it.

Most of the ideas I have come up with recently weren't when I was brainstorming for ideas, the activities I was doing was rather varied: half asleep on the bus listening to Ween, watching a movie when a room mate walked by and commented on the mustache of the main character, taking a delivery in a mall and saw a Christmas letter box for kids notes to Santa Clause, or just misreading a movie title. Mostly for amusement I start embellishing on weird things that crack me up that I've noticed in passing, after a little while they sort of look like movie ideas. Just take something you find funny/amusing/interesting and run with it, build on it. Not for a movie idea, just for your own fun and entertainment, it just might turn into something you can use for a 'story'. And when you get something like that, write it down, or tell someone or post it on Facebook, the act of telling other people will make it easier to remember, and they can help flesh it out.

It's handy to cary a little notepad and pen for when you get that random spark of inspiration.

I always love your ideas, Kinz. Satanic possession is always rather cool, and I like the " the girls older sister suspects her satantic posession and won't go without a fight.", it sounds like it could be a really awesome movie. Reminds me a little of The Evil Dead, with all the killing possessed people and stuff.

I've always found demonic possession rather interesting.

You'll want to flesh out better the significance of the doll and the part that the grandmother played. Why does the doll trigger this? Why would the grandmother give her such a gift? How did the grandmother get her hands on it in the first place?

A 66 year old priest's church is located in the  big city, an area with an immense amount of crime etc. He hears horrid things of horrid people in his confession booth every single day. During all the years his belief in human kind has been fading away slowly. He starts to believe everyone is a sinner. After a certain incident he snaps. He believes God has ordered him to kill new borns, for they are still innocent. He should allow them to go to heaven before they turn into sinners like all the rest. Because life on earth is only temporary, life in heaven is eternal.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

God dammit Vik. Now my idea sounds !@#$. mini/tongue
But seriously, that is indeed genius. Your ideas are usually pretty awesome.

My idea:
A guy lives with his girlfriend and her dog (a cute little Jack Russell that eats too much). The dog gets all her attention, and the guy gets fairly jealous. So, one night, he creeps over to the dog's food bowl and puts some chocolate in there. Sure enough, the next morning, it's lying there dead. They bury it in the backyard, and the girlfriend directs all her attention to him.
Turns out that was a bad move. The dog's spirit is pissed off, and it comes back from the grave for revenge.

That's about it.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Love the idea Danimation and Vik.

Here's a mini idea I have:
An adult film-star is shot dead while driving home from a party. Upon hearing the case
many people just think it was an accident since she was driving by a 'bad' part of town,
but soon the detective on the case watches her films and soon is drawn into the web
of violent and greedy history of the buisness that she was a part of and no longer thinks
this crime was an accident, so he goes undercover as an adult film-star to infiltrate the
adult film buisness and figure out who shot the actress. But during the process other
female stars are murdered making the detective feel uneasy that his cover may be
blown, by the wrong person.

Only you would come up with an idea like that Kinz. mini/tongue


But it's pretty good anyways, just not sure for a brickfilm.

Same.

Anyway, thanks guys mini/smile  Like your idea as well, Dan. You should make the guy a total !@#$%^, if you kill him it will be very satisfying for the viewer mini/tongue
Like yours as well, Kinzcove, it should be good if you add a lot of twists and turns.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Would I be able to post a Star Wars idea? It seems to me that all these (awesome) ideas are to do with relatively original genres, and I was thinking of doing an animation about a group of clones going undrecover to free a small moon opressed by the Separatists. They start a revolution and stop the Separatists from obtaining a highly dangerous, highly explosive substance indigenous to that moon. However, they are then faced with a terrible decision - how to get rid of the substance. Do they detonate it, and destroy the moon and everyone on it, or risk letting the Separatists getting their hands on it once again? I like the idea of 'undercover' clones, as I don't have the equipment or attention span to create blaster effects.

@vik That would be FANTASTIC. Very clever, very original, very psychological... if you pull it off, it could be one of the best Brickfilm storylines ever.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

I like that, it could turn out pretty good. And there's nothing wrong with Star Wars ideas, btw. It's nice to see someone with a Star Wars idea that actually has a decent story. Most of them are:

Obi-Wan: haha i did a fart
Qui-Gon-Jinn: shutup obiwan that's smelly
Obi-Wan: i did a fart agen
Qui-Gon-Jinn: shoosh

@ Vik, I totally agree.

@ Kinzcove, that sounds really interesting. If that was a real movie I would see it in an instant.

Thanks, it's nice to get someone else's opinion - I'm new here, but not to Brickfilming.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

I have an idea!

Two words mates- THE BEATLES!

It is very simple; it would be a comm project in four parts; based on the book; The Beatles: an authorized biography.- with changed bits; of coarse.

The first part would be the early years- about up to when they get to London.

The second is the bulk of their touring years and such.

The third part is 1968.

The fourth part is the afterword; what happened after they broke up.

I think it's a good idea for a comm project since something of this goodness shouldn't be squandered on just 1 person!

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

@vik My pleasure. Did I misinterpret though? Was that a storyline for a non-brick film? Nonetheless, it's genius.
