Using film quotes

To get up and running with this brief, I have pressed a virtual reset button on my previous ideas and decided to base my 10 second animations around quotes from each film. This should give me a strong starting point with opotunities to add complexity into my peices as they develop. These are the films and the quotes I am thinking about using (some I have picked out two alternative quotes to test).


Goodfellas:
1) As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

Sexy beast:
1) I am going to have to turn this opportunity down.
No, you are going to have to turn this opportunity yes!

American gangster:
1) My investigation indicates that Frank Lucas is above the Mafia.
2) See, you are what you are in this world. That's either one of two things: Either you're somebody, or you ain't nobody

Donnie Brasco:
1) When they send for you, you go in alive, you come out dead, and it's your best friend that does it.
2) If you're a rat, then I'm the biggest mutt in the history of the Mafia.

Casino:
1) Normally, my prospects of coming back alive from a meeting with Nicky were 99 out of 100. But this time, when I heard him say "a couple of hundred yards down the road", I gave myself 50-50.
2) Running a casino is like robbing a bank with no cops around. For guys like me, Las Vegas washes away your sins. It's like a morality car wash.


I think these are all strong quotes and represent the films well. I can animate kenetic type to go along with these quotes and hopefully come up with a strong set of idents. My next step is to storyboard some ideas.
