In this episode me and Nate Crowley lay some idea eggs live for your edification.
Following his hugely-popular previous appearance on the show, writer Nate Crowley returns to help me practise the dark art of coming up with lots of ideas. I gab about creativity a lot but I thought it was about time to put my money where my mouth was.
We attempt to create film pitches on the spot for an imagined wealthy but bizarrely-capricious producer, using a system of dice and random concepts. Along the way we discuss creativity, the three principles behind getting more and better ideas, and invent a tragic new street drug.
This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know:
- how can I come up with ideas for stories?
- how can I make my ideas original?
- how can I make my film pitch original?
- what's the best way to combine ideas?
