25 Project Ideas

1. Six Degrees of Drunkenness
“Mockumentary” featuring the types of drunks: such as happy, angry, and sleepy.
2. Shapeshifting Parkour
Person in green jumpsuit runs around campus and downtown doing flips and shit. Green jumpsuit will be chroma keyed in Final Cut Pro and replaced with shapeshifting abstract patterns
3. Flash Mob Compilation
A collage of flash mob videos to create one huge virtual flash mob or perhaps the title.
4. Surveillance/Voyeur Live Facebook
Crowds of people and passerbys doing ordinary things. However, text pops up above them in 3D as a live status update.
5. StompClap Live Music
Video of people stomping and clapping to create rhythm. However, instead of having the actual sounds project out, actual instrumentals and percussions will project out.
6. Beer Pong Portal
Players throw ping-pong balls into red cups. Instead of the cups having a “bottom,” the cups turn out to be portals leading to actual red cups. Akin to playing mini golf.
7. Reverse Sobriety
Reversed clip of an alcoholic’s night, focusing on the sobering process. Split screen to a parallel metaphor.
8. Apples and Oranges
Stop motion of apples and oranges having a battle on the kitchen counter. Would involve lots of “air” shots.
9. Synchronized Man and Music
Ambiguous take on daily life and how routine actions create a music-box song…or maybe how a music-box song creates routine actions.
10. Real-Time Inebriation
Spoof of “Real-Time Inception” YouTube video. Shows how time passes by for a sober person, tipsy person, drunk person, and a passed-out person.
11. How to Create Video Art
DIY video of how to create the ultimate video art. Includes step-by-step instructions on music and editing.
12. Cooking Grades
A cooking show spoof involving recipes on how to make certain types of homework, and the nutritional facts (grades) that come along with it.
13. Replicating Insomnia
Narrative of how one sleepless art student begins to affect those around him, and how insomnia starts to turn into a “virus” during finals week.
14. White Noise
Starts off with black-and-white security footage of daily occurrences in a convenience store. Zooms out to view several B&W stock footage, before viewer realizes all the video clips create a white noise effect.
15. Falling Asleep
A person plops into a bed, but rather than landing on it, goes through it as if it was a portal/gateway. Several levels of person falling from sky/ceiling and going through sleeping bags, hammocks, etc, before ending up in black space in the fetal position.
16. Sleeping Bag Catapillar
Metamorphosis of a restless college student in a sleeping bag. Several stages of physical development, before finally coming out as a member of society.
17. Cardboard Skateboard
Stop motion of using cardboard cutouts shaped like skateboards, scooters, and segways in order to get across campus.
18. Nerf Gun Wars
Hip-hop music video involving kiddie alternatives to motifs such as guns, drugs, and cars (nerf guns, pez/candy, go-karts/cardboard cutouts respectively)
19. Green Screen Zero Gravity
Creating surreal environments through green screening. People in front of it would be suspended by green or blue string/yarn.
20. Animation Intro
Title sequence intro done through animation regarding a mock video entitled “Video Art” or ArtBash
21. Suicide Flashback
Moments before Cody Zuccari tries to commit suicide, a long flashback sequence is shown in reverse, split screened with forward-shown flashbacks of those around him.
22. Cardboard Turntable
A random turntable in the Architecture atrium appears. A regular student walks up and tries out the turntable. As he/she starts using the turntable, music bursts out and a lightshow starts being projected on the architecture building windows.
23. Time Lapse of Weight
A time lapse of a college student losing weight as work and social events consume most of his time and sleep.
24. Time Lapse of Gluttony
Time lapse clips of people eating at restaurants, specifically fast food and food considered to be unhealthy and hearty. Focuses on massive weight/amount of food ordered.
25. Telekinesis
One pill/injection from the UF Health Department gives a student telekinetic abilities, and uses it to entertain himself.
