think of any interesting imagery that could be used in a surrealistic film about anti-corporatism? Open for all ideas but keep in mind i have limited resources and time. Any suggestion at all would be appreciated.

I thought about it, but "anti-corporatism" is kind of vauge. Could you give alittle, more information. Then we might have something to work with.

In specific, the idea that big business is corrupt, invades privacy, is heartless and treats employees as machines, and the general public as targets.

I'm not some annoying political/human rights advocate that thinks he knows everything about everything (if that's how i'm coming across), i'm making the film as an example of surrealism, and i wanted it to deal with a 'big issue' as most classic surrealism does.

I like your idea with the collage Evan, i've done something similar dealing with consumerism. I set up a stop-motion stage and placed an object in the frame with a coin, then i took a still, added another coin, took another still and repeated with a different product(keeping the coins in the frame). Every two stills i changed the product so the coins stacked faster then the products changed.

any more ideas? I'm having a creative block.

Find some old political cartoons from the Progressive era. Like the Thomas Nast ones about Boss Tweed and that sort of thing. Then bring them to life.

I once read an article that talked about businesses that used security cameras to keep track of employee activity and prevent them from forming unions. I watched some of the video, and it was really terrifying. The footage was grainy, the sound was bad, and the way that the camera moved was distinctive.
I don’t know if that’s helpful.
