IDEAS AND GENERAL PHILOSOPHICAL RAMBLINGS
The 1967 hit song "I was Kaiser Bill's Batman" by Whistling Jack Smith was originally the theme for an unfinished Batman movie directed by the German writer Kristopher Totberg (pseudonym Kaiser Bill). The movie was entirerely lisences, without D.C. intervention. Tottberg was given free-hand to the selection of characters, the plot and such. The film was cancelled last-second by D.C. for how unbelievably awful and cheap it was. Imagine Batman vs. Dracula (Filipino film) but made with permission, but with 0 good writing. The song was originaly in a darker theme, and less "novelty-pop" feel. After the cancellation, the song was re-written and given it humorous tone. The name "Kaiser Bill's Batman" is a humorous take - the song is silly and goofy, not serious, and Batman is more-serious sided. The name shows how the person feels when playing the Batman, by Kaiser Bill. You get the idea probably.
I have an idea for a film-editing and animation program called "Dreamatic". It would not be your typical editing program. The concept would me mostly for amateur animators that are too lazy to make backgrounds on their own, or just to dink around with the idea of a cartoon character coming alive into our real world. The idea is to attach a camera via a cable to the program, so that way the output of the camera (What you see in the visor) to film a scene (a forest, room etc.) and synchronise the recording up-to the animation that got animated. Sort of what Dingo Pictures was doing, but much more advanced. You could then edit the "Visual Recording" (see, I already have the program-lingo) by adding effects, changing speed etc. In addition to that, the program would have built-in transitions, a MIDI music maker with preset rhythms and an autoaccompaniment feature (like in a keyboard), a picture editor and the main feature being the animation feature. The animation part would be like a greenscreen - you draw the character with a mouse or a tablet on a transparent background, so you could then set it to the background. You can first film (or draw if you want) the background to get better on how the animation would be synchronised.
The canvas would be 1:33:1, 4:3 or 16:9. Does any programmer want to pick-up the idea : )? I would really like to see my idea it come-to-life...
Idea for a raunchy 80's-style comedy. "At Porknoy's" is a Porky's-inspired comedy. A group of friends attend collage, and are frequent guests at the popular strip-dance club "At Propnoy's". One day, while partying and having fun, James (one of the friends) discovers a dark secret. The manager of the club is a notorious protitute and drug seller. James discovers this by accidentally overhearing the menager's conversation while sitting on the toilet. James talks about the conversation to his friends, but they don't believe him at all. James convinces his friends to overhear the conversation from the club's office. Unfortunetly, the manager comes out from the doors (unrelated :D) and encounters the group. He gets angry and threatens to beat them up or kick them out if they ever interferre in his business. In the next few days, James can't stop thinking about the conversation and constantly asks for help to take Porknoy's club down for good. But the other friends want to have fun, as it's the only club like that in town. One of the friends, Eddy, has a conversation with James on the incident and goes with him after-school to Porknoy's. They bring a camera with them. While "partying" they discover an another secret - money laundring and monopole. Finally, Eddy is fully convinced and is with James to intervere to take downt he shady business. At school, Eddy convices the other and they all now think of a plan to bomb Porknoy's club.
After hacking into Stan's (one of the friends) older brother's computer, they discover how to make home-made dynamite and bombs. James has also a plan to dressup one of the friends as a prostitute and sell himself at Porknoy's. The other guys masquerade themselves as Mexican "bandidos", speaking butchered Spanish. They all go to Porknoy's office and successfully hire Dan (one of the friends) as a prostitute. After that, they leave and wait for Dan's results. Not even two days lasted, and he said that he had enough of the "job" and that a 70-year old was one of his clients. Dan also told them how the bar works - time, employees, rooms etc. He sketched a rough map of the club too. Now, as the group, the dinamite and all the disguises are done, it's time to set up the plan. They first go behind the club, where the garbage, work rooms are present. The group opens the backdoor, aftet they were given a key from a drunk janitor. One of the friends goes throught he vent and ends up in the women's toilet but backs off and sets one of the dynamites in the vents. The rest of the gang works out their way to the Bar-section and throws a grandade, eventually waking up Porknoy himself! But the manager (Porknoy) doesn't give a damn right now. James and Eddy plant a set of dynamite on the scaffolding of the strip-scene. After some succesfull bombings and light granades, Porknoy gets called on by one of his cartel employees. He immedetly sees the boys in the silly bandido outfits, but poor Dan in high-heels is too slow, so he's the first to get taken by the fat Porknoy...James and Eddy stay with themselves, while they send Stan to plant bombs in the office and the enterance. But Porknoy doesn't let them do it quickly, but the guys wrap Porknoy in the dynamite. His friends escape the club, even after Porknoy tells them to help him. In a final bomb placing, the boys put the last dynamite string and in a masterful shot blow out the club in it's entirety!!!!
This truly could be a comedy that would be made in the 80's or 90's. But remember, this is only a rough draft, outlining the most important events...Any director or screenwriter wants to pick this up?
