I want to make you laugh...thats the best medicine afterall...
In my youthful experience Ive come across some pretty pointlessly-in-depth conversations about the most minute isolated topics ever thought of...
I want to capture one of these, in the act. I want characters to have a rise out of them, getting very emotional about a topic. The idea seems a little vague but thats because it relies alot on the improv... Once the atmosphere loosens up about the camera and microphone then thats when ill hit play, once there are a few topics going around... And then i can take that, get the script and then make some close-up shots...

as i mentioned in my comment on zach's blog, i think a lot of great things can come from an improv setting. it allows people to be themselves, and of course when conversation seems real, it works.
i'm thinking it'd be great to do a self-referencing piece. maybe the "pointlessly-in-depth" conversation you get into is about making the video itself, or why you are making it (this might tie into your third idea just a bit).
maybe you and someone else are trying to decide what's important to talk about, and one person thinks that you should turn the camera off until the script is finalized, while the other says the camera should stay on - and this debate continues for a little while, with each person giving reasons as to why it should or shouldn't stay on for the sake of having material or for saving tape or whatever, and those improvised reasons could turn into the kind of absurd, yet believable dialog you are looking for.
i love self-referencing humor in art, so that's just my take on it.
i liike this idea in conjunction with the spoof of the soniuic commercials. those commercials are filmed with the camers just rolling and the people just talking and then eventually they have enough for a commercial. it does not have to be filmed at sonic in spoof of anything with this improv stuff could be interesting.
