Bored.. Give me an idea..

[8salacious9]

Ok so every night I wanna make a 1 minute vid, with just me and the camera, but I don't know what to film, so I ask if any of you could make a suggestion, it can be anything excluding shopping centres and rooftops..

So any ideas?

I have a t3i kit kens and 50mm 1.8, a rode ntg-1 with a tascAm DR-40

Alternate contrasting things. Micro/Macro - in other words, shoot an insect one day, a cityscape the next. Light and dark - blazing sunshine, deep shadows or night time. You get the idea. Besides being an intellectual/artistic exercise it is also a technical exercise exploring the extremes your gear.

Any suggestions for filming myself? I'm an actor originally from young but drifted away so was hoping for some wacky ideas like a made up wacky character going on about a subject but Iv hit a block and I don't know what it should be, I realise Iv probably answered half my own question now lol

a made up wacky character going on about a subject

You mean like Paul Whitehouse on the fast show, when he has a monolouge and as he is walking and talking, the scenes, his clothes etc change.... was that the type of thing you were wanting to do or more like you have a differant story, each lasting only 1 min?

Do a nightly news show?

Do a timelapse or stop motion. You don't need other people for those.

Porn.

Or another cat video for youtube.

Both are pretty popular with opposing genders.

but strikingly similar subject matter

True!
I hadn't considered the similarities. Thx for pointing that out!

However, please DO NOT do a porn+cat mashup.
No! No! No!

When online shorts first got going a decade or so ago, it seemed like the only videos that got any kind of significant viewership were either Star Wars themed, or contained implied bestiality. Whenever I complained to anyone about it, they always gave me the same suggestion...

...'nuff said.
