CONTEST IDEAS 01/02/2007 at 07:03 AM

Good stuff so far. You guys are a bunch of creative bastards, aren't you?

Brandon and Shanti are both in favor of the good old fashioned drawing
where I yank random names from the hat of my choice. This seems to be
a solid choice, but I want you cats and kittens to WORK for it!

Hunter and Richard have the notion of re-editing either materials found
on the blog and the official 'Smokin' Aces' site, or re-cutting the trailer. I
like this idea. I would think it could be done without any significant
expense beyond time and it's nicely thematic given all the posters I've put up
on the site. Richard also has the idea of the best one-line competition, which
is also cool.

Let's keep them coming in. I'd like to have a decision of how we want to
conduct this thing by tomorrow and give everybody the weekend to do
their thing, then announce a winner by early next week. Plus it will give me
time to actually seek out permission and the necessary funds to do it!

I'm thinking you could kill two birds with one stone here... your've said you'd put up a page or 2 from the comic up. Why don't you put it up & incorperating Richard's idea have us illustrate/photograph/film what happens next, or you could just pick a page out of the script you put up & get us to bring it to life.

Either way its gunna create a storm in a tea cup.

Cheers!

illustrating a poster is cool.

Yes, i think it would be pretty cool to have a poster creation contest. The concept art that has been shown here is quite impressive, here let me rephrase that, the concept posters i've seen here are the cats pyjamas.
anyways, we could create our own posters and taglines to go along with our posters. also it can be done by anyone on this board that has some sort of creative entity. The cut and editing process of the trailers may be time consuming for most expecially if you don't have the neccessary equipment to do so.

Well, that's my two cents!

You're right Joe. We should work for it! I like the poster Idea : )

Rather than just re-cutting the trailer, why not re-shoot the trailer and try to recreate it shot for shot!!! Yaeh. But otherwise a recut is cool. Or a Buddy Israel look-alike contest. Can't wait for the movie Joe.

I'd, hands down, win the Buddy Israel look-alike contest... If I was, in fact, Jeremy Piven. Truth is, the only person I could pass for is Ray Liotta... and that's because we share the same birthday. It's irrelevant, because Spielberg and Brad Pitt also have that same birthday.

And those two are fucking twins if you ask me.
