We did it again. The 48 hour film fest. Staring yours truly. Not exactly my choice
Keep in mind we are supplied a genre, a character, a prop and a line then we make a movie in only 48 hours. We did everything from writing the script, filming, scoring and editing all in 48 hours.
Very nicely done! I have a friend who's been doing these for a couple years, so I've gone to watch, and I have to say yours is one of the best I've seen.
Keep in mind we are supplied a genre, a character, a prop and a line then we make a movie in only 48 hours. To convey the feelings in less than 7 minutes is amazing to me, simply amazing, not to mention the 48 hour rule. Awesome!
By the way, who's the secksey one in the yellow hard hat?
I'm also really impressed w/ my team as well. We started 7 pm friday w/ me and two other guys. We had no story, no actors, no locations and some how we shot everything we needed in less than 24 hours!
The fire extinguisher bit was improved @ 3:30 in the morning! I was so tired, "Hose or Nozzle" sounded more like "Hoser Nozzle"
Don't feel bad . . you are not the only one to have made the dreaded "hose or nozzle" mistake at 3:30am.
Talented group of folks you had there.
The singular thing that amazes me is not the movie but the "project". Few folks have such a talent to, from scratch, think of something, identify the elements, gather the resources, manage them, make it work and, on schedule, produce a finished project. I'm a huge fan of "do-ers", not so much of the talkers and your achievement is impressive.
Character:Charles or Charlene Little, Actor Prop: a still or photo camera (neither a cell phone camera nor a video/motion picture camera may be used as the prop) Line of Dialogue: "I'm trying to decide." Genre: Family film
Some production notes:
We hoped to have a "Little" name tag but at the time we shot my dialogue we only had one name tag "James" so we tried to fix that with the script. Everything was created and shot in about 22 hours.
Weapons are airsoft.
We got access to the tank just as the sun was setting. It was down to the wire. We only had on sunset during the. competition.
The 2 soldiers are the real deal. We found them after their drill at the local armory on Saturday.
"Little Afghanistan" was a pile of dirt near the taco bell where we got dinner.
The explosions were simply me throwing clumps of dirt above the soldiers heads and good sound effects.
All of the dialogue was improvised on the spot and directed by me. The soldier's dialogue scene was one continous shot/take.
We shot the movie in sequence, something that is impractical in traditional movie making. Mainly because we were making it up as we went along, this helped with continuity.
Is this competition something that "we" the internet audience votes on, or is there a committee/organization that chooses a winner? Or is this done just as a challenge without a winner?
Are there other videos from the same competition available on YouTube? Your video is excellent, but I'd like to see what the others have done.
