Alright, for my film studies class we been assigned to create a film-company from scratch. Over the course of the past semester we been making short videos and whatnot so now we need to create a website, Youtube channel, etc.. to promote those videos and spread the word.

I need help coming up with a name. Something clever (you remember names such as Lionsgate, Dreamworks, Lakeshore, etc..) and catchy that will remain in peoples minds and hopefully cause them to come back. Some of the suffixes I could use: Entertainment, Productions, Pictures, Studios, etc. Any ideas?

Thanks ahead of time,

Tomas

In the creative area that you're studying (film studies)...aren't you supposed to use your own "creative juices" to come up with a name?

Isn't it sort of like defeating the purpose of the assignment...if you get a great idea from someone else over the internet?

My 2 cents,

Then you would be famous...and could buy any Macintosh you wanted!

Although the laptop you're getting is pretty darn nice!

That you are, but, I was curious to see what other people come up with as well. I figured this would be easy but I sat down yesterday and after six hours, came up with nothing.

I "feel" for ya...this sort of assignment is not always as easy as it sounds.

It's sort of like being told to sit down & come up with a brand new invention...and by the way...you have 48 hours to do it!

I guess the big question is...if someone posts a great idea here on the Mac-Forums...will you:

- use it verbatim
- modify it slightly
- not use it

Temptation grasshopper...temptation!

Good luck,

All my short films are still-picture based, pretty much the same style as Kebn Burns. I don't focus on one genre though, which is why it's tough to come up with something specific.
