Ideas for the Final Project

28Apr10

I’m just gonna use this post as a place to keep all the ideas I have for the final project.

UPDATE: Alrighty then, the entire movie is now in my editing program with the audio separated, meaning it’s around 100 gigs of info for me to mess with.  Hopefully I’ll be able to get a rough edit of the project finished by Friday.

AVATAR:  The Human Point of View

Since I rooted for the humans in the film Avatar, and the film declares itself to be the #1 movie of all time (even with blatant ripping off such texts as Dances With Wolves, Pocahontas, Fern Gully, Dune, The Smurfs, and I’m sure there’s more) , then I think it would be a really good idea to show just how easy it can be to reverse the propoganda put forth in Cameron’s work.

I want to intercut some of the film’s scenes (such as Giovanni Ribisi talking about Unobtanium [such a dumb name]) with scenes of humans back on Earth dying, starving, and otherwise being screwed by the lack of the precious mineral.  I also want to have some scenes in there of the blue guys murdering the human soldiers and the main character’s treachery and betrayal emphasized (I need a way to really reveal his loss of humanity in a concise manner).

I need some kind of really epic and sad music (actually if I could get some of the music they play when the big tree gets napalmed and turn that around I think that might work).

What’s so great is that apparently I’m not the only one:

*and even though I’m not doing it myself (and in a search apparently it’s been done many times) I would like to point out all the youtube videos mashing up Avatar with one of the many films it ripped off:

Avatar / Fern Gully Trailer Mash up

Pocahontas / Avatar Trailer crossover

Avatar/Ferngully mash-up

And also I’d really like to see some videos showcasing how amazingly badass the Colonel was, or the mechs in general.  As soon as I saw the mechs I knew who I was rooting for in the fight.  (Tell me District 9 did not get 500% more amazing when Wikus got in the mech)
