Woah Vik, that's great. If I came up with that, my twist on the idea would be the film is of private stuff in their lives, the bad things they have done, and everybody including themselves see each persons wrongdoings in the past, turning everyone against eachother and creating mayhem.

That is a great idea actually, I'll keep it in my mind when I work on the idea some more.

You'll have to use this for reference.

Sounds like a great idea though. But even better, what if they feel the pain of the people on screen?

Nah. That wouldn't really make any sense.

EDIT: And if it would make sense I wouldn't do it either. Plus it'd be pretty unhandy to have all characters feel pain throughout the entire movie.

KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING!
Young actresses who flock to Hollywood start to go missing. Their bodies start appearing, but a film won't stop playing at a small theater, and that's the film of their brutal murders and torture, which the censored version appears in theaters as an independent slasher film, but a woman investigator realizes one of the girls faces from a missing persons report and hunts for the director who owns the only uncut copy.

That sounds like a story that fits your type

Oh yeah, just wondering, When is your late ToY film coming out?

That sounds an awful lot like Vik's story (or at least the beginning.)

Not really LSP. LegoAndStickFigs, it comes out in a couple of days. Just doing some re-shoots of scenes and editing. mini/smile

Don't Pick Up The Phone

After the murder of a young woman, a teenager finds herself being stalked one night, and receives repetitive phone calls where she hears muffled cries and screams, almost like someone dying - and that's what it is, but who's dying on the other line is too shocking to comprehend for this teenager, and after the killer is done with one victims, he goes for her.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

A successful inventor has made it big by covering most of the world's deserts with top-of-the-range solar panels, generating enough electricity from the intense sunlight to supply most of Europe, America, and Asia. The power is transferred to the countries through a long-range electrical transmitter, also created by the entrepreneur. However, after the blueprints to the transmitter go missing, terribly destructive weapons start appearing on the black market. The inventor, knowing his enemies are coming to get him as he is the only man alive who understands his own devices, tells his two sons the way to destroy the malicious creations, before they plunge the Earth into World War III.

I don't make Brickfilms. I trade virtual hats.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Here's an idea that me and Vortex Ltd. came up with for a claymation probalby.
So, 20 years ago, these miners were killed when the roof of the mine collapsed. Exactly 20 years later, when the whole town has visited the mine to pay their respects, the dead miners burst out of the mine, looking exactly the same as they did right before the accident. Life goes back to normal, except that they are back. But then people start disappearing in the town. The son of one of the miners and a snobby detective go into the cave to investigate, and find that there was a stream in there. They take a water sample and as the detective looks in it he sees a sort of demonic bacteria and then he dies. Which leaves the other guy to find out why. It will sort of play on the unknown to terrify you rather than gory details. Don't expect it to come out soon though.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

A revision to "Don't Pick Up The Phone!"

A woman living in an apartment building starts receiving phone calls, they start off as breathing, and escalate to the caller quoting her every move, and mailing her pictures he took of her with his camera, the pictures are of her walking down the street, at her job, and in her apartment, when all shades are shut and doors are locked. The woman tries reporting the stalker to the police but the police cannot do anything about it since the caller hasn't threatened her. The woman is nearly driven to insanity, sleeping with a kitchen knife under her pillow, and keeping her shades shut all day. When her own lover comes to surprise her for her birthday, she, by accident, attacks him thinking he's the stalker. Then, one day when she returns home from work, she opens a package, which was left on her doorstep, what was in it was too shocking to her. She decides to find out who her stalker is, but the clues and suspicions lead her to a false apartment when she realizes the stalker is closer to her than she thinks, but that's too late, since she meets face to face with the man and death may seem closer to her than she might think.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Sounds good.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

I have a question related to screenwriting.
So, earlier this year, for my English class, I wrote this story about a Russian Scientist working for SETI and he discovers aliens. However, I go to a nerd school, so they really didn't give me enough time to think of a good ending, so I just rushed and made the aliens blow up everybody at the end. PM me if you really want to read it.
But I want to adapt it into film, so I was wondering if anybody else had any ideas of what the aliens should do besides the generic stupid ending. Like something more creative, along the lines of 2001, but not as wondrous. Because it's sort of supposed to be a depressing story, like War of the Worlds. Also, I think the aliens need to win this time.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

He he he, I thought of a really interesting alien invasion type story. Don't want to spoil it, though. mini/smile
May make a brickfilm one day for ZvA. because it's awesome

Maybe the aliens win, but they keep a few humans alive and integrate them into their society and teach them their way because the alien race is going to die (due to some special thing about their race which makes it so their collective death is totally inevitable).

Also, it would be nice to have an invasion story with a more interesting motive for the aliens. Usually, they want resources, conquest, or they just want to eat brains. (xD)
I think it would be interesting to have a more thought out and original motive.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Thanks!
Yeah, I am going to be making a series of UFO movies, with my friend Rinto51, and his idea was that aliens come and kill everybody except for the Canadians to use as guinea pigs. And then there's a revolution.
My ideas so far:
1) A country music song about how the aliens came to earth and wanted to dissect the humans.
2) These two aliens who are really failures are sent to Earth by their king to harvest ores and then blow it up. They fail. Epically.
3) The Russian thing, my above post.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

I'm liking those ideas there.

If you want to do a song, I suggest Kevin MacLeod's "Kool Kats". It's perfect for an alien invasion song.

If you need alien voices, let me know. I can do a high-pitched, nasally, alien-sounding voice. That voice fits an Alien Conquest pilot alien well.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Also, I have awesome alien editing skills. As seen in Pirates Rule!
Along with the scifi tune in that scene and a really great ambient scifi noise

Oh, thanks so very much, but I think for the music video I am going to attempt to play the ukulele myself. Rather badly.
I think for that one I will be doing everything myself, just to see what it's like, but for the more serious films that have more talking, I will contact you for an alien voice. Thanks! mini/smile

Re: Post Your Story Ideas

Christmas Time!

A family is brutally massacred on Christmas Night, the case remained unsolved. Many years later, the new inhabitants of the home find themselves being stalked by a madman, possibly the same person responsible for the Christmas killings years before.
