Abnormal Addiction...
In my Abnormal Psychology class, we just concluded a chapter on Addiction. I would like to video people who have bizarre addictions such as shoes, candy, flowers, etc. Then very dramatically record them explaining there addition...the what, why, how, where, when.
Ex. I eat skittles when im happy! I know all the package colors and flavor in them such as red (original)...lemon, lime, strawberry, grape, & orange!
A SUPER WERID, CREATIVE, YET TRUE VIDEO...
(Documentary film)
Music Visual...
My brother recently became the first African American conductor of our high school marching band in Columbia, TN. He has the ability of conducting any piece of music from Country to Hip Hop to Classical. I would like to video him conducting music while holding incents, instead of the traditional paton. These incents would be lit and burning while these motion paths occur. Depending on the music genres rhythm, these incents would move accordingly. I would like to have consistent candlelights burning as a background scene.

Barbie Reality...
I thought about how ridiculous reality television shows such as Cheaters, Parental Control, and Maury’s (Who’s My Baby Daddy) are. Using a child’s possession, BARBIE, I would create a short film based off of this content.

some good ideas. I especially like the on e about addiction. I think it would be good to us something more overt such as eating, drugs, alcohol, or OCD. I think the weight and seriousness of these issues would drastically change your piece. You could do it on something such as skittle but it would have to be really crazy.
i am drawn to the second idea from a formal standpoint. i think it would be very cool to see the differences in the motions of a conductor's hands between the rhythms of country, hip hop and classical music compositions all in one video.
idea three i am attracted to because i have a feeling it would be absolutely hilarious. keep in mind though your reasons for wanting to mock those reality tv shows. what are you trying to point out or say about them? why are they so ridiculous and what does that say about our society or about your art for spoofing them?
Those abnormal addictions could be really interesting if you get some highly emotional people to describe them to you. It could get almost uncomfortable... But its all in what the subject matter is that theyre addicted to and how the relate to one another in the piece
i think i like your third idea. it goes along with your sense of humor from the first video. i think you have the ability to really make some absurd ridiculous comments on society using the imagery you suggested.

I love the idea of the addiction or fear film. I think you could approch this in a number of ways and maybe one thing to do would be imagine several ways it could be made before you commit to a shooting script.
sort of like trying different lyrics to the same melody.

I think it would be good to think around the obvious first thoughts of falling such as down stairs.
You could consider Falling in Love, Falling Asleep, Taking the Fall.
Also maybe a sort of Alice in Wonderland Falling Down The Rabbit Hole where someone would fall through a hole and wind up somewhere completly different and unusual.
I'd like to hear your thoughts and also if there is a time we could meet.
