Free idea, for anyone who wants it

If I had a video production company, or the means and interest to start one, I would offer custom VH1 "Behind The Music"-style mocumentaries.  The client would supply photos and any film or video footage that was available and a basic idea about what the story might be about.  I would create a video segment that told the terrible, tragic, and finally life-affirming story of the subject's fake life story, complete with ominous music and narration:

[Camera slowly pans over grainy photograph of child holding crayon.]

Narrator: Even as a small child, Jeff showed an unhealthy interest in crayons and coloring — an interest that would come back to haunt him as an adult.

[Cut to photograph of Jeff at 37, smiling and holding a can of house paint and a brush.  Close-up of Jeff's eyes.  Music becomes sinister.  Close up of brush in Jeff's right hand.  Cut to slow-motion "reenactment" of a can of house paint being knocked over, paint spilling everywhere.   The word "REENACTMENT" flashes prominently across bottom of screen.] 

A more deluxe package would involve interviews with friends and relatives of the subject.  It would make a great gift for important anniversaries and birthdays, retirements, weddings.

I'd be surprised if this kind of service didn't already exist.  Seems like it would be a pretty fun sort of thing to do for a living.  And you'd finally get to justify all the time you spend watching cable.
