Short film idea 4
A surrealist painter suffers from a mental block as he loses his muse. At his lowest, he expresses his emotions through his paintings by use of bold, vibrant colour. But since his breakup with his girlfriend, he fails to show his feelings, a blank and vacant canvas has been left for weeks. But everything changes when he plays the DOOM videogame, exploring the rage and passion reflecting his own hidden emotions of the breakup.
This idea came from the character of Brian, played by Mark Heap, in Spaced. As an artist who uses emotion to explore himself.

Gotta love 'Spaced'. You would need to do your own painting and you couldn't have extracts from DOOM because of copyright, but a story about an artist's muse sounds interesting. You could explore the idea that great art comes from conflict and it could be argued that nobody happy ever produced great art!
