Movie ideas

So, here at MIT we’re doing this film thing where they give us a laptop and video camera and we have to make a 5 minute short movie. I’m going to the resident experts here for ideas.

Basically we want to involve our recent hall acquisition: a fleet of Razor scooters. I proposed and persuaded and at last we have 5 razor scooters at our disposal: orange, green, black, red, and blue.

But we’re not quite sure what to do with them. We’re thinking something along the lines of a mockumentary on scooter gangs might be fun. We’d have shots of us riding down our main indoor hallway, the Infinite Corridor, doing the weave, with the last person continually weaving up through the file of people. We could also descend on someone walking along minding their business, and circle them dramatically while taunting. Stuff like that.

We also think it might be fun to do like a tricks video type thing. Something along the lines of this. Of course, none of us can do tricks, really, so it would be dumb tricks like riding with one hand holding on, or jumping from the left foot on the scooter to the right foot. But we’d have enthusiasm of course. (Actually, I can jump down three stairs, do tailwhips, and other sweet things. Just as Eric. We’re Razor champions!)

So… ideas?

That sounds excellent. Are you going to have a rival gang?

Hm, yeah I think we’d definitely need one. What would be a good scooter-gang show down? I’m thinking something like You Got Served on wheels…

I think it needs violence. You could roll over someone’s foot or something, and then the other gang could retaliate by running over two people’s feet from your side. Or maybe a drive-by something.

You might want to have one of those classic disney channel movie moments where your group is scootering on their turn. Flipping sweet tricks and all that and then one of you lands a trick right in front of their feet. Then you can pan up from the rival groups feet while they look like bad asses, and they are pissed because you are on their turf.

this razor scooter is nothing but merely 100 pennies!
