make a movie about your limitations, a kid making his video project, but everything he wants to do is not allowed, he keeps coming up with great scripts (like, really original crap) and pitching it to his teacher, but each time his teacher goes, "No, no, you can't do that." so he finally gives up and just starts writing cliched crappy stuff...he puts it together in a jumbled mess (he doesn't get a chance to show his teacher or something because the teacher is busy, so the teacher simply asks, "does it follow all the rules? No violence? bad words? Religion? the student (you) says, "Its clean" so without reading it, the teacher approves it) so he ends up making this crappy piece of crap cliched movie, but the thing is, everyone loves it. so he gets super pissed and kills everyone for having such bad taste in movies!

its a good way to express yourself and rebel against the system, plus when pitching the ideas you can describe really violent stuff (since you're not showing it) Wink

just an idea.

That's sort of kind of what happened. The last movie I made my dumbass teacher lied and dint't really read the script and didn't wacth my final cut, and he yelled at me afterwards because it was a comedy with a bunch of gay jokes and curse words (which were bleeped out...so who cares?) And everyone loved it and it got a standing ovation. I mean, it was funny...but these people who have chose it over something like Citizen Kane because they were idiots. Which means they expect the same goofy **** this year. Which means I'm ****ed.

"The work never matches the dream of perfection the artist has to start with." -William Faulkner

Faulkner is also famous for his advice to writers to "kill your darlings"...the parts of a story that the author loves, but that the reader either finds distracting or not worth reading. It's painful, but sometimes it has to be done. I guess an exception would be if it's for your own viewing.
