Short film contest

[BETO74 0]

Hello all. I need I little help on a project, I’m running the video editing club on a high school in Florida we entered this short film competition sponsor by the entertainment incubator (http://www.eincubator.org/pages/2/index.htm). We need to create a short film 5 min long on a given theme, now, here is where I need help the theme is “The twist”.
I spend the entire weekend thinking of it, I can only get images of what a sample of a twist will be, like a flushing toilet, get the idea, what I really need is a script, A good idea that will get us start. I would love to do it about skydiving I have some friends that will help us shooting beside myself and it will be a great experience for the students to know about skydiving.
Now since the theme can be pretty much anything since a way of dancing to a stunt in sky surfing I was thinking in something more conceptual like the “willing to fly” video were the script goes along with the skydive images, willing to fly is more like existentialism type of video, don’t know how to interconnect one with the other.

Anyway if you have any idea feel free to respond.

Carlos

Make a video about a guy who looks like he's trying to jump from a roof and kill himself...then turn it into a base-jump and celebration of life (instead of ending)

And try to be 'deep', throw in some quites from old dead people...contest juries love 'deep' stuff :)

hehehe

nacmacfeegle gave me the idea of the moebius strip, that only has one surface, where is the beggining ? at the end. where is the end ? at the beggining. Well the students have to do the research.

Thanks

i have a whole bunch of videos of myself getting into line "twists" that i had to cutaway from, would make for interesting video

edit: with line twists the video shoots from lens to parachute the lines twisted up all the way, sometimes it can be a malfunction, sometimes it can be cleared, i have video of both
