Ideas

To all my loyal readers:

Please put your thinking caps on and give me a few minutes of your undivided effort. I would like any and all ideas you have for a very short audition video for The Amazing Race. Scott and I have talked for a very long time about how we would run the race and batted around the idea of auditioning. Well that talk has stopped and now we have just a few short weeks to put together a 1-2 minute audition video.

We encourage all ideas no matter how "way out" they may be. If we don't directly use anyones idea - we may use it to help us with some massive brain storming to finalize an idea.




A few things:

1. We want a tag line - something to grab attention and use for the elements we put in the video. (Brains and Brawn, AZ Tag Team, something soccerish?)

2. We should put in some dialog. (Maybe about a game situation and how brutal we would be.)

3. Some point of conflict & resolution. (Help us out here.)

4. A team name (might be the same as our tag line). Do we need a unique look (but not matching outfits, I hear that is a killer for an audition)?

5. Any filming suggestions.

Remember your ideas need to be short, sweet, unique, and able to grab attention FAST! Rob your expertice for a short video would be very very helpful. Give us some of your vast knowledge, please. Isaac - you have a creative mind. We loved your frozen milk commercial. But only spend your energy and mind power generating ideas for us when you are otherwise mindlessly engaged in toilet scrubbing, floor polishing, or carpet cleaning! No study/class time should be used toward this cause.

We need your ideas and quick. Help!

***All idea submissions become the sole property of - ME. They can be changed, altered, and mutilated for my purposes. If we get picked and/or win you might receive compensation and or credit for your contributions - but don't count on it!

Well, since I've never watched the RACE, I have NO idea WHAT comment would even help. I'm not too CREATIVE anyway and you need something to help you WIN. So count me OUT!!!

You make the video in several languages. Get the things you want to say and break it up into pieces. Farm them out to people who k now different languages, then memorize each piece for the video. Put the translation across the bottom.
