Deciding
Me and Kyle thought that the best thing to parody is a drama/action film. The first film that came to mind was comic books/marvel films because we could really exaggerate the style and make it funny by the characters having pointless powers. We then thought of Lord of the Rings because it is an epic adventure and we can really use the story and turn it into something funny and stupid. After a while we started thinking about television programmes because people are more likely to recognise what we are parodying. Immediately we thought of Lost and Heroes. Lost because we can have a group of people lost in a woodland where time keeps skipping and within it random things happen, such as someone suddenly sitting on the floor playing monopoly. And Heroes because we like the pointless super hero idea.

this is interesting, have you moved away from a machinimation? If you're looking at the fantasy side of things, make sure you don't limit yourself to too few films to take inspiration from. Whatever you're parodying, make sure you have a real understanding for the genre... emmerse yourself in the genre so you completely understand it and can get the most out of it. ~joe
