My Awesome Ideas of Awesomness!

I feel if I don't write these down I'm going to forget them. Also I realized I'm creative but not that artistic, I can paint and customize stuff but i wouldn't say its the best. Or even that great some times, I still have a few half done projects laying around my room.
So these are the ideas read what you want or all of it that would be cool too. Feed back if you want.

Night of the Socking Dead
Years ago I was working on a zombie movie for the Alamo Draft House "Dismember the Alamo Film Festival". The goal was to make a 10 minute zombie movie. My idea?
FUCKING SOCK PUPPETS!
A group of white socks (and one black sock that dies first) have to survive a horde of zombie (grey) socks.
Every few months somebody i told this to ask me about it and if it will ever happen. Sadly Alamo no longer does this film festival so i really have no motivation.

 A Better 1984
The second idea was a guy that gets taken prisoner for speaking out about the government in the future, but unlike the old dude in 1984 he grows a pair and leads a revolt on the prison he is in and eventually becomes the leader of the resistance or some crap like that.
The idea started as a book but it might be better as a short story.
Maybe ill do some chapters between introspective downer moments, rehashed old poems and my silly comic idea.

Slight auto biography movie thingy?
I came up with this idea for a story about 2 rooms mates, I wanted a friend of mine (at the time) to write half of it from his experience in retail, and i would write the other half.
I haven't spoken to him in years, maybe hes dead????
That's not the point.
The story evolved into 3 rooms mates, all different parts of my actual personality. One was trying to recover from his break up that ended forever ago, one had love but couldn't commit to his long time girlfriend, and one was a carefree who was okay with where his life was.
They each have different experience in this one day and they end up burning down a bowling alley that night.
One of the cooler ideas for the movie was have to screen divided into 3 different panels and show them going through there normal habits of the day.
This idea was raped by a person who though they had film knowledge just because they had a degree. As of late i have been convinced to work on it again because it sounds funny.
You be the judge.

Action Figures.
I figure if you are reading this you know me in person, unless you landed her by accident. If you did and you like what you red let me know.
I love action figures. You probably already knew this.
About 3 years ago i came across a photo online where somebody made a custom Samus Aran figure (from the Metroid games), side note because of that sentence i just added the words Samus, Aran, and metroid to my dictionary. Any way. I saw this figure and said "I can do that" so i found the base figure they used to make it, and I started working on it. I threw that figure away about 2 months ago. Some guy online made a Samus resin kit (a model kit that is made custom by a person and you have to touch up and sand and drill and paint, if you want it to look nice) well with my dremel, some free time, sand paper and paint i put this figure together. This June an actual action figure comes out so i had no need for the crappy custom o was working on. Around the time of working on the crap figure a co  worker introduced me to a series of custom figures made by a friend of his. This led me to want to make my own.
I tried it and failed, it takes a lot of time and money to get things going and I had neither. I shelved the idea a few times and told people my ideas. About a year ago I met a cool dude who's good at art 3d art. If he can make on a computer I can get it sent of to a company and printed up in plastic. We start work on it tomorrow. So look for a follow up.

Andrew, Arthur and Eric
About a week ago I had a dream about talking cats, not all cats but just 2 cats and a guy who could talk to them. I though it would be a cute comic idea. I had to come up with an idea of why this guy could talk to cats. I landed on this. Eric has to check on his girlfriends cats while she is out of town, he gets to her apartment and lets himself in (he has a key because they have been together for some time). The cats meow at him and he ignores them. He walks into the kitchen slips on some water and hits his head. We is woken up by voices asking if he is ok. Its the 2 cats. They have a conversation about how he can understand them and that he couldn't before. The premise of this story is that the cats know he can here them so they decide to fuck with him and get on his nerves. You never really find out how this is possible that he communicates with the cats but at some point you find out its only these 2 cats. Hopefully the guy that is helping me with figures will do the art for it, i haven't asked him yet but i just came up with this idea so i have to pitch it to him.

  1. Yes to all. Obviously. But especially the movie with the roommates. You know I've always loved that idea!
