the problem

alright, every problem that needs to be solved needs an engineering approach. the thought that one of us is going come up with something spectacular is slim. all minds combined is greater odds. so , we all need to hang out some night and brain storm about ideas for the movie or whatever. no idea at this stage can be turned down, and no idea is stupid. that part is to be debated later. we then catagorize the ideas and grade them on a scale that we make up to favote the characteristics that we like. then the ideas are graded and the best one emerges. of course designing machine parts and suff like that is a bit different that creative thinking but i think it should work. or atleast give us a good starting point.
one other thing to keep in mind. is the goal to strike it rich or to make a good film. sometimes these two go hand in hand but sometimes they dont. also what is the goal? make a film? about what? and why?

heres one of my ideas. it stems from my long car rides alone. i always wonder, usually stoned out of my mind, about the perspective of things. like how i view things Vs. other peoples views. i havent smoked in a month now so i havent had one of these rides in awhile, but having not smoked in a month my mind is quickening up a bit. and i'm much more aware that my view of things is sometimes only relevent in my mind. like i think things are right, they make perfect sense to me. but others dont agree. maybe its just my lack of good comunication skills. (eh, somethings got to give to know so much math)
all right lets get back on track here. make two movies. make them both short. in these two movies the main thing thats going to be focused on is an interaction between two characters, any two. movie #1 will follow character number 1 and his/her thoughts, views, everything, or enought to make the viewer see it their way. now enter movie number two. it will be shot in the same time as movie number 1 but from the view of character #2. get it?
example: in movie #1 character 1 sees #2 walk across the street and look over at them for a second. now when movie #2 is shot is will be from a different angle and clearly show character #2 glance over and see #1 and keep going on what he/she is doing. get it? same movie, two different views.

now to get this to work we have to have some interaction between the two and each movie has to convince the audience that their view/actions are right.

more ideas to come. i got to go outside.
