So I was thinking about an idea for this music video. I immediately thought of the music video "No Rain" by Blind Melon:
I like the idea of a journey of a little girl to find her place in life.
So i was tinkering with a few ideas.
The first pitch, "Memories":
A girl looks at a dirty plush monkey. After making an indecisive face she throws it into the trash. The trash can lid closes as the twenty something girl walks out of the door and into the city. We follow her to various locations as she thinks about the decision she just made. She has flashbacks to when she was a little girl and sees how happy and how much fun she had the plush monkey. They go to the park, play on the play ground, feed the birds, and (since it is the season) play in the snow. They do everything together. She gets back home and she realizes that there are too many good memories she had with the monkey that she can't get rid of it. So she pulls it out of the trash and puts it into the washer.
The second pitch, "Homeless":
A homeless lady plays music on the street with her symbol monkey (the wind up one) and it's part of her 'band'. She's playing the guitar and the monkey's playing the cymbals. Tragically, someone steals the monkey. She goes out and tries to find it, days go by and she puts up posters about the missing monkey. She plays in the streets only to find less people give her money without the monkey. The robber sees that she's so depressed about losing her monkey that he ends up giving the monkey back and everyone is happy again.
I would love to hear what everyone things about the pitches!
