Code Name: Distant Insight Seekers Organisation.
Real Name: A Very Good Title [HERE]!
What It Is: A Concept Movie. That sums it up nicely.
Situations
The idea of this movie is to be a somewhat fun/comedic movie, with hints of scifi - mainly in the characters interests. The characters are geeks, in the best possible open-source computer hacker (good term) light.
Plot
The story revolved around a computer-based competition or game of some sort. A game that's conceptually easy to get to the audience, but clearly a geekish game that requires a bunch of CPU grunt to calculate stuff. not graphics though! A quadratic tree based starsystem conquest has been proposed for this.
The plot revolves around this game/contest, with two groups focusing on a win. One group goes for distributed computing, one for a monolithic machine. The two groups are friends, but their opinions differ on the "best solution" here and while each team clearly thinks the other group has the wrong method, the friendships aren't threatened by this. A third competitor threatens their chance at the title - a corporate competitor? The friends team-up their efforts again to come out on top.
The idea here is that it shows people can have different opinions but still help each other when it comes to the crunch, and still maintain a friendship regardless. ALso show off the open-source philosophies.
Characters
The main characters are geeks.
They're quirky, they don't fit many mainstream stereotypes - though they may fit into one or more alternative stereotypes.
- Brien
- Jarik
- Gary
- A store owner of the electronic-whiz/computer-geek variety. Fixes hardware that would otherwise be thrown out, and know how stuff works at a low-end hardware level.
