I started off with an idea for a movie that would glamorize certain pieces of open source software. I wanted something that would be both educational and entertaining to my audience of college students. To accomplish that goal, I set out to make an epic-type movie. The movie would be sort of a spoof of a serious action movie. These types of videos can be found anywhere these days, from video sites like YouTube, to the silver screen. They are also very popular with college students.
With the basic idea for the movie under my belt, I set about forming a plot. This part was actually pretty hard for me because I haven’t written any type of creative work in a while. To come up with the plot I sat at my desk with the list of software I wanted to incorporate into the movie. Eventually, after a few hours of hitting my head against the keyboard I arrived at a plot. The movie would start out with the typical movie announcer “In a world…” and go on to explain how, in the future, software companies would control the government forcing people to buy more upgrades and banning open source software all together.
