Topic: I need some Ideas for my series: Jake and Adam (PLEASE READ)

If you have never watched any previous Jake and Adam episodes, here is my newest one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDHzIrkw … ideo_title
        (ALL MY OLDER ONES ARE KINDA GARBAGE)

But basically i try to make them much different from the other ___ and ___ Duos because i gave the episode a MAIN and SUB plot. I also have (as you could see) custom made transition songs for each scene change.

BUT ANYWAYS BACK TO THE POINT! I need ideas for these episodes and lately i've had a LARGE amount of writers block and could not think of a single decent plot/sub plot.  mini/sad



The series is basically about the two main character (Jake and Adam) going through goofy issues at school/at home. When you watch the episode it's also clear that i like throwing a lot of side character into the plot, because i feel like it's more enjoyable with more characters.


FOR THE RECORD, I NOW HAVE A CANON T3i SO THE QUALITY IN THE NEW EPISODES WILL BE A LOT NICER, JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPORTANT




OK SO I THOUGHT I WOULDNT HAVE TO SAY THIS BUT I WAS WRONG, I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING RIDICULOUS LIKE ALIENS OR MURDER OR ROBOTS OR SUPER POWERS. I WANT THIS A LITTLE MORE REALISITIC.

Hmmm....Maybe you could do a video of them going out for a sport team? You know, practicing, and then going to the tryout? Sorry if the idea doesn't sound good, I'm not the best at giving other people ideas, let alone thinking them up myself mini/tongue.

I don't know if i can use that to create an ENTIRE 10 minute episode with a sub plot that KIND OF relates to it.

Let's see...  I have a few ideas left over from my abandoned series about 3 kids at school.

An alien plants a stolen camera in a room that the character mistakenly thinks is the room for picture re-takes.  The aliens analyze the camera and disuises one of the aliens as that character.  They send the disguised alien to the school and confusion ensues.

Mysterious writing is found on the bathroom wall.  One of the characters plays detective to find out what it means.

The characters think there's a ghost in the locker room.  They try to catch it, but it turns out to be someone playing a prank.

That's all I remember at the moment.


By the way, I like how you do the side plot and many side characters.  It really sets it apart from other brickfilm comedies.

I would advise that you skip the mouth animation and try talking movements instead for the next episode.

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

What about Jake and Adam trying to avoid getting haircuts?

Re: I need some Ideas for my series: Jake and Adam (PLEASE READ)

How about they discover a hidden treasure, and can't figure out what to do with the money they gained from it.

I'm working on getting my studio back up and running, so stay posted...

Re: I need some Ideas for my series: Jake and Adam (PLEASE READ)

I like Anteater's idea, it's pretty classic, I'd go with it.
I haven't really watched the episodes so sorry if these ideas for plot were already used/suggested:

1)There's a pretty girl in school and both Jake & Adam are falling in love with her which obviously means the good pals are now enemies and they try all kinds of stuff to win over let's say Jessica's heart. Despite all the fighting during the episode in the end they realize that the girl wasn't worth it and they would rather stay friends than fight each other for this girl who doesn't even like them.

2)Jake OR Adam is having a strange dream full of "What ifs" mini/bigsmile I can't really say what happens cause it's up to you if you want to develop this idea but dreams are always a great way to have a little fun with the characters and the story since everything is happening in the characters head. Let's say Adam is having a nightmare... Jake is in love with Adam's mom (I hope they are not brothers) and the Mom does love Jake, soon they are getting married and it's up to Adam to ruin this wedding.

An Eldritch Abomination moves in next-door? That's all I got...

EDIT: Also, your animations are really good.

I like LarryStudios' and minifig051's ideas. Hmm...

"ARGH, THERE'S A HUGE FIRE!" Danny says. I guess that would kinda be copying mnmtwinz's vid. Lemme think some more.

1. Travis challenges all the boys to an epic videogaming contest at his house over the weekend. "Last one playing wins!" Travis says.

2. Uh-oh. Adam is stuck babysitting his brother, Kevin, instead of going camping with Jake and Danny. What's he to do?

3. The principal is kidnapped! Everyone is having terrible visions about what the next principal will be like. It turns out the principal was at a business confrence in Utah...

4. There's a school dance coming up, and everyone [who's anyone] must find a date before it's too late.

5. FIELD TRIP!!! Jake and Adam get left behind, and must find a way to survive in the wild...

That's about all I have. Tell me what you think of these ideas. I'm a HUGE fan of the Jake and Adam series! mini/bigsmile

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

I'm kind of like the 1st idea. Not to ridiculous but can be really funny if scripted right. Im gonna script in the morning since its 2 in the morning. HAPPY NEW YEARR!R!R!R!R!R!R!R
