For a long time, movies have sometimes been filmed with alternate endings. my idea requires many multiple endings (because of some stupid math thing with exponents), plus multiple segments within the film, a responsive projector operator and little electronic buttons on the chairs in the theatre.
The movie would be shot in first person, kinda like those virtual roller coaster things, only with a plot. when a major turning point arrives, a list of choices shows up on the screen, and the audience has a minute to vote for what they want to happen next, using the buttons (button 1 for choice 1, etc). The projectioner then looks at a computer monitor which tabulates the votes, and he puts on the corrensponding film reel.
Added bonus, you could go to the same movie and see something different each time.-- schematics, May 07 2004 parallel movies http://www.halfbake...l_20film_20releasesSort of like this, but different [schematics, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] choose your own adventure on HB http://www.halfbake...Adventure_20DVD_27soops, been done [dentworth, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] Audience mood changing movie endings http://www.bbc.com/...hange-movie-endings [theircompetitor, May 09 2013] my family tends to wait for popular movies to come out on DVD..."and now out on DVD, Alternate Endings, as voted in by live audiences." I guess the endings would all be included in the DVD's "how we did it "section and the best ending would be on the actual movie.-- dentworth, May 07 2004 the dvd could have decisions too, kinda like those "choose your own adventure books"-- swimr, May 07 2004 /dentworth/ sorry about the plagiarism. my is slightly different than that, in terms of scale and the first person bit.-- schematics, May 07 2004 Ancient.-- waugsqueke, May 07 2004 "Oh man, the Rocky Horror Picture Show again?"-- RayfordSteele, May 07 2004 random, halfbakery
