Often, I get really good ideas and a few great ones. Does this happen to any of you? At one point in my life, I had so many good ideas popping into my head that I started to write them down (now I do it on my mobile phone).
infact, I will post some I have in my mobile now:
Idea 1.
Know those large rectangle ads near bus-stops?
I found these ads to be very boring, only a few capture my attention for more than 2 seconds.
Imagine this: take a photo of what is behind that ad (as if the ad was a window), then alter that image in photoshop; for example, lets say Lord of the Rings was the ad, you could add Golem or Frodo walking down the street doing something interesting. It would look as if Frodo was actually there (looking at the ad from a certain angle of course). You could do all sorts of things with it, imagine what you could do with Matrix, Armageddon, etc. One step further is to put in a plasma screen, have the studio's cook up some real nice video sequences using that very bus-stop location. This would be a REAL eye catcher, people would crowd around just to watch it because it would feel as if what you're watching is really happening where you are standing.
Idea 2.
Mix all the world's flags into one flag, see what you come up with?
Idea 3.
A drawing of all the world's countries represented as a person. If the country is very old, like China, then the person would be about 80 years old for example. In relation, the U.S. might be a young teenager, but the personality of this teenager would show the traits of America today. So this teenager would look like an obese bully, somewhat smart, very rich and patriotic. I think it would be very interesting to put a face on the world's country in this way.
Idea 4.
This is a really cool one. You're walking down the streets of New York, all of the sudden, you hear a scream from the top of a building, someone seem to be in trouble, but no one can tell what is going on. Suddenly, a man (an actor and stuntman) dressed as Clark (and looks like him), rips open his shirt and "flies" up (via wires) and rescues whoever is at the top of the building (the building being not too high of course).
I guess people would be looking around looking for camera's, etc, but not finding any and wondering if what they saw was real or not. It's great entertainment, but I have no idea how it could be used to make money.
I call this idea "City Stage". It's the idea of playing very short movie-like sequences inside a city making it appear real, like it is really happening.
I can't get these ideas off the ground, so they just sit there in my brain or on my mobile.
One idea i had about 3 years ago actually did come true, it was a DVD movie dispenser, no need for shops, just go to the ATM-like machine, put in your membership card, select movie, put in your payment card, get movie, go home. 2 years ago, (when I came to singapore), what do I see? A dvd movie dispenser.
