No Food or Drinks
The film would begin with a scientist going to work at a lab. When he gets to the door, there is a sign out front that says no food or drinks allowed. He thinks about throwing away his drink but instead hides it under his coat. He beings a routine of mixing two test tubes and taking a drink from the bottle under his lab coat. The boss then walks behind him which makes him quickly hide his drink. He starts again as soon as the boss leaves but reverses the order, mixing his bottle and drinking from his test tube. He immediately realizes what he has done, takes a look at the test tube and thinks “oh this can't be good”. After a few seconds pause, his head bursts into flames causing him to run around in a panic. This rest of the film would consist of him unsuccessfully trying to put out the flames on his head in comical fashion.
Gourmet Cooking
The first scene is of a absent minded women pulling out a cookbook and finding a recipe. Once she finds the recipe she wants she starts finding and putting the ingredients into a bowl. She quickly finds she doesn't have the right ingredients and start making substitutions, using pepper when she needs salt, using ketchup when she needs tomato sauce, that kind of thing. When the recipe calls for beef she looks around and can't find anything in the refrigerator she could use as a substitute. At that point, a cat then walks into the room and starts sleeping in the corner. The women looks over at the cat, the cat lifts head and looks back at her. After a few seconds of awkward silence it cuts to the final scene when she has finished the dish with chunks of fur around the room. At last she closes the book and the title of the book is reveled to the audience “gourmet cat food”. The final scene is her placing the bowl on the ground and calling the cat.
Somehow all I could come up with are twisted comedy ideas.
If we can do some sufficient fire effects in the time we have, I am all for the first story. I just laughed thinking about all the different ways he could try putting out the fire on his head with objects in the lab haha.
ReplyDeleteI think that the second one is in our best interest though, especially because of the punch line in the form of the book's title and because it has a definite ending. The whole idea is awesome and I like it more the more I think about it.
