Before I start filming I'm going to need some more bricks. I have a very limited supply of them haha.
Same with me. xD
Yesterday, I tried building a huge 30 x 30 SNOT road plate for my movie, and it took up most of my black bricks. xD
(The size is necessary for the bigger cars I have in this film)
And I have a lot more road plates to build, along with the buildings.

I use the road baseplates Lego makes. They only fit a 6-stud wide car in each lane, so I have to make sure to use/build cars that fit. It's much simpler than building a road out of bricks.
With buildings, what I would do is build a dozen or so buildings and resuse them in different shots. Sure, you might see a building twice, but I don't have enough bricks and I don't want to deconstruct/construct buildings in the middle of a shot.
Unfortunately, I don't think 6 studs wide is really the size a car should be relative to a minifigure.
You can't properly do two seats across like a real car. So I'm using 8 stud wide cars.
It's not really piratical when it comes to production, but it's unusual, and the end result looks better. 
Like I've said, I'm trying to raise the bar for this.

I figured out a way to fit 2 minifigs. I made the doors so a minifig's hand rests on it.
Works for me.
I'm going to be using the mini 3 in 1 sets for my movie. I think it'l be much easier .
Here's a few story ideas of been tossing around. It would be great to get your thoughts on them and what you think might improve them.
A super hero but instead of being the typical super hero like batman Spiderman superman etc… he’ll be like Maxwell smart in the Get smart TV series. All his gadgets always backfire on him and his Incompetence invariably causes complications. However he never fails to save the day
A sci-fi comedy set in the future. A character like Indiana Jones goes looking for treasures but instead of the usual treasures like Aztec gold and that he goes in search of stuff like TV’s radios etc…
A scientist accidently invents some genetically modified dinosaurs that a very intelligent and they escape and take over an entire city so it’s up to Shadow and his team to stop them
A gigantic crocodile gets sent on a boat heading for some zoo but on the boat it gets contaminated with some deadly toxins and escapes from its cage and starts eating the crew
the last idea was my favorite. its gonna be tough to put those ideas into a brickfilm and make them look good in LEGO.. pretty good ideas though..
All of them would require tons of lego (which i dont have 
)except the last idea which wouldn't be to hard lego wise because the only set would be the boat. Also i'd probably make the Crocodile and dinosaurs out of plasticine which would give me a bit more movement than the lego ones.

that's exactally what I'm doing, only he IS batman yet he sucks...

the croc one sounds do-able...
I think I might be dusting off an old story idea called "Arena". I'm hopefully going to have decent outcome from this. Once I finish a plot synopsis, I'll post a thread.
A tourist is biking around the French countryside when she disappears. Her body is found in a stream. The police have no leads and are puzzled by the murder. The victim was completely drained of blood and hacked in two. Police are then hit with two other missing persons reports, that may related to the unsolved murder case. The three victims were all the same age, from America, and were all reportedly friends. The police search for the other two but are unsuccessful, finding nothing. A farmer in the countryside calls the police, claiming he hears screaming, but the police search the area and find nothing. Body number two is soon found, and police have no leads or anywhere to go with the case. Police then realize it's only a matter of time before body number three shows up, when they receive a reel of film, the reel is of what happened to the three tourists.
@KinzCove Wait? What about The Red River Flows or whatever it was called.
Is it coming out?
-LASF
Yeah yeah yeah, it's still coming out. Just be patient.
EDIT: nvm, Kinz beat me to it.
Comedy/action
The series centers on bungling Robber named Archie and his apprentice sidekick Brian. Archie and Brian work for X, a secret criminal organization based in New York The pair plot and carry out numerous plans to steal valuable goods though Archie’s incompetence always causes complications. However, Archie usually succeeds typically thanks to his own dumb luck and often by Brian’s skills. Looking on is the long-suffering head of X, who is addressed simply as "Boss"
The nemesis of X is the Police and another criminal organization named V which a constantly trying to get rid of X and have the entire city for themselves
what do you think?
An ex-patient of a psychiatric doctor murders a young beautiful woman visiting an insane asylum. The murders continue, and the psychiatric doctor trys stopping the murderer, his ex-patient, himself.
Maybe a movie about a future kid of war where mysterious things that look like water bottles crash from space,and humanity fights them.
I'll be called:attack of the water bottles!!!
What about your, "Really Long" alien film 
? Slow down with your films.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE "THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY" FILM IT RIGHT NOW
But seriously, with a plot that weird, an action movie will epically fail. The key word is 'mysterious.'
Like, the water bottles land, and nobody can move them or get near them for investigation, and then people start disappearing.
That''s a completely stupid idea but you get the picture.
Alternatively, you can go the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" route.
