Experiment 15: Change a Deus ex Machina Ending

 Take an ending you consider to be Deus ex Machina and change it so that it ends in a more satisfactory way. For instance, the end of War of Worlds is notorious for the death of the aliens occuring because of the cold virus. What might have been a more satisfying ending to War of the Worlds? This can go for any ending to a novel, film, poem, etc.

Experiment 8: Video Game Idea

Experiment 8: Video Game Idea Looney Kingdom There is a game called Kingdom Hearts , which incorporates Disney characters with characters from the game Final Fantasy . I propose there be a game which incorporates Warner Brothers characters with Japanese characters. It will be called Looney Kingdom ! It will be a single player, third person viewpoint playtype. The interesting aspect of Kingdom Hearts is that it takes the magic of Disney films and focuses that magic through a psychoanalytic drama, filled with cues relating to character’s memories, times gone by, and high nostalgia. This creates a landscape filled with complicated emotions, and one with very high highs and low lows. In Looney Kingdom , this emotional landscape will be built on humor.

Experiment # 1: Magic Realism

Experiment # 1: Magic Realism (I did a second Experiment 1, because I had this idea and wanted to share it) A young girl finds a snow globe in her grandfather’s attic that, when shook, makes the town around her come under a blizzard for two whole days and nights. The blizzard will commence in the area the globe is shaken, stretching out a few miles in radius from where the globe is shaken. The snow globe will work for any area of the world, as long as someone shakes it in that area. The blizzard does not come on right away, it begins exactly twelve hours after the globe is shook. The girl finds the globe in her grandfather’s attic in Boise, Idaho, then brings it with her on a road trip back to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she lives with her parents. Shaking it along the trip, the girl unknowingly creates a trail of blizzard behind her as her family travels towards Charlotte. Word gets out that there is a blizzard and the family hears this on the radio. Realizing the blizzard is...

Experiment 11: Quest Outline

Experiment 11: Quest Outline The Family Vault The Cea Cousins cast is on another adventure. This time they begin at the side of their dying grandfather, who confesses they have a vault filled with family treasures dating back to the eleventh century. Daphne asks their grandfather where the vault is, but he is unable to speak the name of its location before he passes. As he dies on his bed, his hand slackens, releasing a piece of paper with a riddle inscribed on it. The answer to the riddle details the location of the next riddle in Bangkok, Thailand. The cast begin their quest, traveling the globe on the hunt for the riddles which will inevitably lead them to the vault. The crew members play to their strengths: Shamu and Daphne provide leadership and wisdom, Ray and Bethany provide the brains to crack the riddles, Kona and Kunai bring their brawn to do the grunt work, and Alisa and Dixie provide the comedic relief. But the journey will not be that easy. Private collectors are ho...
