Infamy Can Wait

Earlier this summer I had an interesting concept for a short film.  Unfortunately for viewers the world over, the window of time for this sure-fire viral video has slammed shut due to my inability to shower in the upright position.  I had emailed my shot by shot instructions to the Italian Man Servant/Flip Video Camera Operator but the actual filming never happened.

So instead of allowing another brilliant idea to disappear forevermore into the infinite vacuum of time and space otherwise known as my Eye Gaze hard drive, I figured why not publish it on my blog for all to see.  If any aspiring videomaker (with or without a terminal neuromuscular disease) wants to pick up where I left off and actually shoot the damn movie, you have my blessing and endorsement so long as you credit me in the closing titles with Original Concept by Jason Picetti then we are cool. Enjoy.

I Am Crocs

I would like to ask for your help to make a short movie about my crocs. You will be the camera man. I want to film the crocs as they go about their daily duties. Only the crocs will be on screen, not me, not Fehmeen, nothing but the crocs. Very important.

Shot 1: Fehmeen picking up crocs from shower and putting them on my feet as I lie in bed. Stay on the crocs as she sits me up and transfers me to the wheelchair. Follow the crocs as I am wheeled to the sink. Pause camera.

Shot 2: Follow crocs as she transfers me to the toilet. Only press pause after my boxers are resting on the crocs for a few seconds.

Shot 3: Once I am standing in the shower, begin filming the crocs from the ground of Fehmeen’s shampoo area as the water warms up. Continue shooting the crocs until after the shampoo is washed out of my hair.

Shot 4: Stay on crocs as Fehmeen seats me in the wheelchair on the towel. Follow the wet crocs as they are removed from my feet and tossed on the shower floor. Pause.

And that is it. Thanks for doing this for me. It will look so cool.
