I mean it made sense but ... I don't know what to say man. I'm speechless.

Uh yea .... Animal Porn. So I guess people would have to send in thier animal on animal porn tapes in?

I know there's a market for it, but I would hate to meet those customers.

Dude. Really.

Sounds more like a blog idea to me than a DVD. It's got a left-field viral quality that I think could develop a following really fast so you might make some Adsense dollars with it. Personally I couldn't see myself cracking the plastic out for an animal porn DVD -- even if it is just a joke.

But in the end, it's no less high-brow than most of the skateboard crash clips and fart-lighting clips that power Youtube, and they do ok.

Problem is, the type of person who would actually BUY an erotic animal video is most definitely the type who woud rip it an post them all to all his equally demented friends and youtube, esentially making it unlikely this DVD would become profitable.

Honestly, this is the funniest & original idea submission I saw in long time.Not my cup of tea, but still probably more funny than Trashtube submissions -)

I would add a disclaimer at the end of the movie saying :
"No animals were injured during the shooting of this movie"

[Can it be sold people will rip it.] Defenitely selling a physical DVD would be tough, as no existing channels would know what to do with it. The difference between a small profit and a big one is convincing Blockbuster that its not actually porn... and I have no idea how tough that would be.

And selling it independently (not getting the DVD case in front of people) would mean depending largely on web based sales... which would mean hitting the same audience who would pirate movies instead.

So... AlexW is probably right, that its mostly valuable as a driver of a blog, or a site where the clips are consolidated, and offered for playback, until a channel for selling DVDs is established.

But (if we're using a CH type royalty point system), I imagine the concept is wonky enough to generate buzz, and that in itself would attract a distributor.

I actually upvoted this idea because I can't stop laughing every time I see the title.

If Film Funder wins the Golder Hammer, you could set it up as one of the first movie projects!

I too would love to watch a turtle hurdle a turtle.

im so in

lol... :D

In the light of a constantly declining standard of quality from Hollywood, and its various tendrils in the world, I just want to say that this may be the boldest, and most refreshing idea that has come up in a long, long time.

Too often we, the viewing public, cry out for rhyme or reason in the shows that we watch, expecting some kind of cleverly crafted pop-culture witticism to rattle around our pot laden minds and finally land on a choking, still fighting nerve bundle capable of processing it and allowing us to laugh.

Gord's idea isn't just succinct, powerful, and slyly coquettish, it embraces a philosophy of absurdity that has long laid fallow in our culture. We've what terrible pap the constructionist have thrown at us; it's time to tear it all down and reduce it to the most base concepts possible.

Kudos G.

I totally love this idea. It could make millions as long as there is no, "I can haz pr0n plz?" gets on there ^^ No lolpron people please

I'm resubmitting this to upcoming tournament with the following observations:
- No one on YouTube has yet responded to my requests for permission to use their footage.
- The idea gets viewed a lot.
...
I believe there is some way the model can be altered to make it work. How to forge ahead knowing the rights to footage have not been secured? Maybe people DO NOT care what happens to such footage after it is uploaded to YouTube. But if this makes money, anyone who shot the original footage would be entitled to sue the Comedy Animal Porn project for copyright infringement.

...
Does anyone see a where anyone's who's footage is used would NOT be best served by suing for money? Its not that C.A.P. would not want to share based of who shot the original footage, but it needs to be a very limited cut. If people agree before a project goes ahead, then its zero-profit (clip not being used) vs small profit. But with no prior agreement, once they see their clip used we can only offer them small-profit... they'll possibly sue for a chance at all revenues.
...
Hummm.

GO GORD!

-no comment at this time.... but i will anyway...isnt this featured in some documentary already... how those this makes money by the way and for what possible purpose? Educational to explain better rather than the bees =)

Hilarious

I think it just might work except for production costs. Because most existing footage is copyrighted by groups like national geographic. Just not intended for the same idea.

Other then that I think it would work.

Well, Gord, you have your work cut out for you...having to audition all those animal acts... Is there such a thing as animal viagra? I'm sure some of those animals will need some help to complete filming... But hey...I'm an animal lover...so as long as no animals are hurt in the production...Go for it. You have my vote ... same reason as Andy... can't stop laughing everytime I read the title!

Kevin_Cox, I guess the footage HAS to come from random community submissions and not national geographic. Copyright is the major issue here, and if people knew some ha-ha-animal-sex footage they caught accidentally could potentially be leveraged into a money making comedy project, then (i would have thought) they'd be keen on seeing it recycled.

But I'm finding that as plentiful as turtle sex is on YouTube, it appears the owners of footage either don't want to respond to my communications, or simply create an account for the sake of uploading their 1 video clip, then ignore it.

You could always film your own footage. With enough people on board and hanging around the zoo or farm or whatever you could put it together fairly quickly.

what do u want me to say man gord

You are one sick puppy.
Genius.

Hahaha, hilarious.

You need some sort of help. Still not drunk enough or late enough to buy it

The first time I commented on this idea was over a year ago. That's scary. I don't think I have anything more to add now than I did then.

But I will say there's no way this idea can hold a candle to my "Remake of Rocky's Boots" idea.

..i had my remark few months back..yes i remember i stumbled one before in the video store.. something like: SEX in the Animal kingdom.

Yeah great idea, the same you could do actually with all kind of other pictures but sorted on one happening. Funniest home video's is still a big succes, so why don't we could create a crowd funnies home video and all the contributors make alittle money than just hoping one of us won a price in the end while the television has a nice program with free content. The slogan should be! Get payed for your content, join the video crowds!

Truly hilarious!

GMD u serious? :)

making fun with animal pix..huh!

Sorry GM, i dont see it funny nor make it viral except for (hate to say this) bestial lovers.

I keep sending him clips but I never see a finished project.

Sorry... I have to go here... When everyone read then name of this idea was it just me or did you think Gord was into bestiality... ew

Oh dear....

Cow - "Excuse me - director ? Whats my motivation in this scene?"
Director - "Well, natural selection has kicked in and your animalistic tendencies can no longer be controlled."
Cow - "Got it. Lets do this."

true_daniel - "Sorry GM, i dont see it funny nor make it viral except for (hate to say this) bestial lovers."

Its the inability to appreciate the humor of the idea which would help market the product. Like Bonsai kittens! Its not a product with sells itself, but it certainly markets itself.

Gods_Light, I'm dropping it into this week out of desperation over a GP glitch. I'm not really comfortable resubmitting it without new material to show, and hopefully I won't have to again. I do appreciate the funny links, and I'm storing them in case it'll help with an actual demo reel.
