Yourmemphistakeone Idea

I plan on doing between 50 and 100 shots at different locations around the Memphis area.  These places will be specific to Memphis along with others that can be found in any city.  I will have the same actor in each shot and each shot will be approximately 3-5 seconds in length.  The entire  video will be between 2 and 3 minutes in length. The actor will be wearing Memphis apparel to show their love of the city.  Each shot will consist of the actor saying, "We got..." followed by whatever place or structure they are standing in front of.  I plan on using locations such as McDonalds, which can be found in any city, along with places like Beale street, which is specific to this area.  I think the video will have a humorous undertone by mixing both types of places. (And I hope the real estate people have some kind of a sense of humor.)

This sounds like it could be funny...and, to a certain extent, in keeping with what you did in the "instructed confusion" video. I would consider production value. If the production value is excellent, and the video really LOOKS good, it could be another contrast to the humor inherent in the script.

I think this will be great. Especially since I will be in it.

I think your idea is pretty strong, but is that all the character will be doing is standing there? What if you tried keeping the character in the same spot on the screen so only the places changes.

yeah keep him in the same spot, and have him talk awkwardly loud into the camera, almost to the point of shouting, like the chicken video.
