Question about an idea

Hi all,
this is my first topic to this forum. I have a pretty simple idea but I think it could have some potential. I`m not planning on creating a big business, I just want to do my little project. I`m not really sure where to begin tho.
I did this as a small business project in school. We put a flatscreentv in our school, plugged a hard drive to it, went to some companies, created some commercial movies for these companies and showed them in our school. Now I want to do this for other schools or maybe other places where more people meet. Can you guys give me some tips? Should I first go to schools and/or the public places and ask them if they think this is interesting and what they would want for it? The thing is, this will cost time and gas and then I`m limited to the number. Or should I like email them all first and visit only the ones who reply?
Other responses on my idea are all welcome!
Thanks a lot already.

As for contacting the schools and businesses...email is a little impersonal and can be easily deleted or ignored, and physically driving there will use up gas and take up a lot more time...would you consider calling up these prospects instead?
And indeed, calling up is probably the best idea. I might just do that! Can`t blame a guy for trying right
Good question, but I have heard stories that a lot of schools are hiring outside companies (ie McDonalds) to have a store/restaurant in their cafeterias. Schools will often do this because they need the extra money for budgets. If they can do this, than I am sure that commercial advertising isn`t a problem. There is a possibility that recent law has changed this, bt I`m not postive.
