Need to put this on hold for now, unless someone wants to get a list of people interested and see where we are.

Once the team giveaway is done, then we can hit this up again and see if it'll be worth doing.

I volunteer. I vote for those hereby interested as posted do a starter bit. Perhaps we should get a handful of ideas and post a poll for what it should be. I personally don't want to do a public scene not for lack of balls but for the hassle and the inopportunity for dress and set-up. Also because I really want to see what Sarge is going to come up with.

Obviously we should do a gun scene or something similar. We could do a war scene, drama scene, etc. Actually, a scene from Heat would probably be most fitting to kick it off.

That's a good idea...You'll have to figure out what gun they used, though. Maybe someone here knows...

like the idea of doing something from heat, maybe we can knock it down to re creating a scene from a couple of movies, pic one from the list type thing.

Say as an example this is the list.
Heat
Boondock Saints
Reservoir Dogs
Red Dawn

You have to pick one and re-make a scene from it. One way or another.

Sure if you want to. The other question is do we let the participants pic the scene or do we pick a couple scenes from each movie and then the participants can choose from those?

Why not let them pick their own scene? As long as it stays within the time limit, who cares? I think it'd be great to see what they came up with. Give them a few movies to choose from and let them get creative.

Just throwing out ideas, I'm partial to the let them choose which movie and the scene from that ovie thta they want to do. (I want to see Captainpooby do the skydiving getaway scene from Point Break

eventhough it's not on the list that would be slick)

Got any other ideas for the "approved" movie list, I think it's missing something. Maybe a comedy or something(like a Mel Brooks Flick) or a war flick.

Hard to say. It all depends on what scene they pic to do. not all scenes will be a set time. Maybe something like no less then 3min, but they can go up to say 10min maybe if it called for it. Well 10 might be to long, but then again if the secne is actually that long well....

It might just be best to set a minimum time and leave it at that. My guess it it should be doable within 3-5mins.

I do think there should be a maximum, though. If not, then you run the risk of somebody doing something much longer than another person, then judges feel guilty that so-and-so made one that was longer, and blah blah blah. Know what I mean? I think it should be between 5 and maybe 10 or 12 minutes. If the scene somebody does is longer than that, then they'll have to cut it down. Just my .02. YMMV, and all that other stuff.

10min should be more then enough time. i'm cool with that if everyone else is.

Do you guys realize how long five minutes really is? On even a low-quality film capture, that is more filesize than the average Joe can even attempt to find to host somewhere.

Yes I do, were just throwing around ideas. The thing is there are scenes that can last 10min. What are you going to do? Ya really can't do much about it.

2-3 mins isn't enough time to do anything really worth while. 5 min is cutting it close and a MAX of 10 would allow for a better "movie"

If done right 10min is not that bad and shouldn't be a problem. What length would you like to see it kept to time wise?

As for the hosting I'm sure we might be able to work something out with his goatness, afterall this was his idea.

The hell it is. You just need to know what the hell yer doing.

In all honesty this should be judged not just based on the quality of the acting but all aspects, including the editing, cinematography etc..

5mins should not be aproblem, either should 10. In the right formats they shouldn;t be to large of files. Shit I just watched a 6+min video the other day and it sure wasn't a bear of a file size wise.

Well, I'm not even going to worry about a time limit then since it is going to be determined by the scene selection anyhow. Sarge has already submitted his free-style audition piece, I think the rest of us should as well while the judges choose a scene for us to do.

I think the more public and silly, the better! I think even a normal digital camera with ability to do short video may suffice. These things shouldn't be more than a minute here and a minute there.

OK. Here's my take.
Since it needs to be about a minute long, we should pick a classic "line" or quote from a movie, not a whole scene.

Like this:

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

or this:

You smell that? Do you smell that?... Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

or this one:

Way out west there was this fella I wanna tell ya about. Goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. See, this Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" - there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.

How does this sound, we come up with a movie list say 5 movies, a comedy, a war flick, a crime drama, a horror flick and then one of the participants choice. The participant chooses which scene from the movies on the list they want to do, one from each movie. The clips are to be kept to 3min max(but can be shorter). That way we have 5 clips, at 3min tops from each participant. Then those 5 clips will be judged each individualy and then the scores from each one added together for a total score. highest score wins.

A simple scoring system can be used, such as a 1-10 point scale. We could also use an average total score instead of just saying the highest total. Whatever yall want to do.

Does that sound ok to everyone?

I still have had no time to get to this... if someone wants to run with it, I will sponsor the contest with a prize or prizes for the contestants based on how good this turns out.

If it's REAL good, I will spring for a digital camera or digital video camera for the winner. (Need to make the title "I want to be an ARFCOM Star!" and put it in the GD to make sure it gets good attention!)

I'd like to see some embarassment involved, such as acting out a scene in a public place. Again, doesn't have to involve putting anyone at risk for jail time, but something funny with potential for crazyness should definitely be the focus.

As I said, I'm still swamped... so maybe leave this to break in 2006 with style? I wanna plaster the fun on the homepage and get people to enjoy the antics and make ya famous!
