Short Film video idea with only one actor

[ChrisHutchy]

Hi,

I want to make a video with a bit more of a production value than I normally have. I'm the only actor I have (and not a good one at that) but I do have access to a friend who can help out with the camera work. But I'm looking for any short film ideas with just one actor and little or preferably no dialogue.

I'm looking for shoot this in a public place as I think people are getting a bit sick of my bedroom. So I can't really use guns as props outside.

Some of the locations I have access to:
Woodland
Bridge over a stream
Deserted rural path next to a river going under a large bridge
Set of garages
Tall pedestrian bridge (google armstrong bridge newcastle)
Large field with two small hills on (google newcastle town moor)

Some props I have:
Minecraft Sword
Silver briefcases
Eye patch
Biker leathers (could be used as sci fi gear)
Balaclava

Any ideas would be much appreciated, also if I use your idea I'll credit you in the video.

Thanks

Chris

Make a silent drama between a pirate into S&M (eye patch and biker leather) and a Minecraft character who is also a businessman (briefcase and diamond sword), but the pirate gets attacked by a serial killer (balaclava) so the Minecraft character goes on a quest with his diamond sword to find the serial killer. I swear I'm not on drugs, I've been clean for the last hour!

Hmm... About a pirate who's out looking for some kind of treasure? It doesn't have to be the cheesy pirate kind of thing, definitely a more modern kind of film. You can avoid talking, and maybe you can appear a little delusional, swinging your sword at things that aren't really there. :x

Honestly, it sounds like I'd have a blast trying to put something together with that stuff. ^.^ I hope whatever you do in the end, you have a great time with it.

Thanks, but not quite what I was looking for [DOUBLEPOST=1401872887,1401872821][/DOUBLEPOST]

Nice idea, but I don't think the minecraft sword will work with a pirate. But thanks for your help

What if you take up some magical purpose?

you could do a lost maiden (from the past) in the woods who finds her way in a modern world. You will find some modern characters who look very intimidating but are very helpful later in the story. The main antagonist could maybe some evil witch or a more scarier average person with other intentions??
