Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

I'm doing a Titanic-Themed film called 'The Ship That Stood Still' It is also about the SS Californian which
stayed still upon the horizon only 5-6 miles away during the sinking.This is going to be a long film because
I need to fit so much in it! It's gonna a different side to the usual Titanic Story ...

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

I have a question, can the film just have a historical setting but a completely different resolution?
Ex. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, negotiations fall through and nuclear war starts.

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

So I had a couple ideas and I would like some feedback.  I was wanting to do something in WW2 if I could.
1.  The Bataan Death March:  Pretty self-explanatory.
2.  A squad of samurais in the Japanese Army who are assigned to kill General Douglas MacArthur when he lands in Japan.

Tell me what you guys think.

I would think so, that sounds quite interesting.

Aw! I was gonna do that mini/sad

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

Does anybody know if drums were invented by the Rennisance time period?

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

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

Drums are ancient, probably.

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

How i looovvveee WW2 themed films... hmm maybe I'll try that.

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

WW2 themes are soon to be all over the place then. We need some more 'original' Ideas. I already have an idea, but rather not share.

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

yeaz! finally something to really get me started back into animation....
I also have an idea that has been floating in my head for like 3 years xD
1 hint....: Arm Chair

arm chair general?

On the subject on what I am doing for TOY:

I have two ideas. One is my take off of Bill and Ted:

It's 2010; and the world's harmonious. The two great ones have put their phone booth out to pasture. A boy, an accomplished singer and thespian, finds it, eager to try it out. He gets his girlfriend, and they decide to travel back to when the Beatles were first the Quarrymen. They help them, and they help themselves. They travel to other times; and make good on their promices to change the past. Oh and they listen to great music. It climaxes with the devil returning; and a large battle. In the end; the world was saved; none of the beatles ever died; and the boy ends up as one of the greatest men who ever lived.


The other is a alternative idea; about mickey mouse:

You see; Mickey mouse is a good mouse, never being in trouble. One day he awakes in our world; and has to find his ways back. He battles the ghost of whatever that guy from who framed roger rabbit was; and ends up getting killed. When he wakes up in heaven, he finds out that Walt Disney is god. Walt send him back to earth; and  he finds Oswald, only to discover that he has turned evil. Mickey has no choice but to kill him. He does, and the world is saved. Oswald ends up as a plushy.


Which of the two would you rather see me do?

What would you call the one you'd rather see?

ANY AND ALL responce would be cools.

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

First idea: time travelling isn't incredibly original. Perhaps just setting your film with the Beatles in (was it the sixties?) would be more interesting, but keep the alternate future idea.

Second idea: ... Tales of Yore, and you're doing the death of Mickey Mouse? Sorry, that sounds kinda harsh, but I can't see how it ties in with TOY.

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

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

I had also another idea that someone (with experience) could use:

Use (or create) a very old tale set in the middle ages. Make sure it is a bit childish and maybe even with some drawing-backgrounds. When it all ends you find out that the voice (the narrator) is a dad telling a little kid a story. The camera is zooming out and you find out that it's in a large space station. Old and New. And a Tale.

... it's a shame that I have a better one already mini/tongue

Re: BiM 2011: TOY idea disscussion thread

Uh oh, I have to take my TOY script in with me for my film class on friday. Now I wish I had worked on it a little more. (Hopefully my teacher can help me with it.)

Just a word of advice to everyone:

Don't do a time travel film. It's not historical enough to get (m)any points in the 'theme' category in judging.
