I'm would definitely consider myself a nerd... at least when I have enough time to do anything but work. I'd really like to make a video that somehow revolves a nerdy interest; Dungeons and Dragons. I think it would be funny to reenact a well known scene as though it were being role-played by D&D nerds with their Mountain Dew, miniatures, pencils and dice, who are constantly arguing about the rules and pulling out handbooks. The characters would probably include some of the classic D&D player stereotypes:
1). The person who tries his hardest to bend the rules such that his character is far more powerful than he should be.
2). The person who really cares more about acting than about playing the game.
3). The thief, or some kind of similar character whose intentions are necessarily as good as the rest of his party's.
I think the biggest challenge would be making the comedy accessible to those who don't play D&D, which is the majority of people. I think as long as I make the humor more about the stereotypes and less about the lingo then most people will be able to relate.
I'm thinking something either from Shakespear or maybe "A Streetcar Named Desire"? Maybe even a fairytale of some kind?
