I have semi-decided on an idea for my capstone and have begun the script for it. I don’t have much in said script, so I am open to new ideas for a capstone. I’ve had 2-3 other ideas that I thought were cool, but for one reason or another I gave up on.
1. A movie streaming website that one could watch movies with a limited number of friends online, all whilst chatting about the movie in a chatroom. I’ve always been interested in the idea of watching movies with people online. I had a small side project for a while that involved streaming movies that I liked online. Now the obvious issue was the legality of streaming copyrighted content online. so that’s where that died
The thing that inspired me were channels on webcam sites like justintv and livestream that did the same thing, before they were banned for violating the sites terms of service.
2. My current idea is one that I have been bouncing around my mind for a while. A short scifi narrative about time travel. I’ve begun the script and I have the base idea, but I lack a story line and ending. Even the beginning is sketchy at this point. I have to just buckle down and flush it out in to something workable. This one seems like the most demanding.
The things that inspired this are my fave movie Primer and FAQ About Time Travel, along with my other time travel obsession movies.
3. My final Idea was for a time management site. One that would show a simple timeline that one could enter in dates and events in to that would update in real time. I’m not sure how much different this would be from something like google calendar other than instead of a calendar, it would be a literal time line on screen. dunno about this one.
Inspired by Pink Floyd’s song Time.
