Topic: Looking for ideas: Is there anybody out there? | |
---|---|
I'm working on a friend's rock-theatre show - a scaled down version of
Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' for a small theatre concert. My role is to do the video effects. If you've seen the movie you'll understand what I'll be asking for, but, even without seeing the movie, I'd still love to hear your suggestions: In the movie the anti-hero has a drug trip where he envisions himself as a fascist hero. He mentally blurs concerts into fascist neo-nazi political rallies. Then he has a nervous breakdown. So while the band is playing these sections, I'm going to be running the projector making a video-'slide-show' of a fascist propaganda infomercial. The question is, "What would a fascist infomercial really contain?" Showing pictures of mussilini, hitler, or bush, etc wouldn't work - because thats just not what a pro-fascist organization would want you to beleive. My target is to gather some themes, ideas, pictures and video clips from youTube, throw'em together into a 3 to 10 minute long segment that will be shown as a backdrop to the concert. I also have other segments to create that should overlap and share in the same theme. I'm open to your ideas, questions and suggestions. |

Thanks guys - I've already ripped the DVD to pull the "key" animation
sequences out. Hammers, Trial, and "Goodbye Blue Sky" are already in the show for sure. But, if you remember the movie, when Pink is making his "are there any .... in the theatre tonight? ...get them up against the wall" rally - [In The Flesh Part 2] thats where my propaganda peice will be shown - and I want it to be something snarky, something thoughtful, something subtle - maybe plainly funny. Just not heavy-handed like "BUSH=FACIST" [or whatever your political persuasion is]. So - if you think of what sort of obnoxious crap a Fascist would try to sell, thats what I'm interested in hearing. |
