Gone In 60 seconds III



Last years "Best Film"  Trophy (as voted for by the audience) 2010 Winner:Tim Pierce for "BLIP"


Okay guys and gals


For those of you who would like to see your very own movie screened on the big cinema screen, listen up.


As mentioned in the previous post, Gone In 60 seconds III is on!






RULES


  • Write - Shoot - Cut a 1 minute movie (made fresh for this competition)
  • Exactly 60 seconds from start to finish INCLUDING  all titles, credits, etc. ( if any ) .
  • Made up stories please - serious / funny / dramatic - y'know FICTION.
  • No documentary / live sports type films this year please. I feel there are enough avenues already existing that cater to those type films. 
  • use original music or no music. (Your film doesn't have to have a score, but if you do decide to have one, please don't just slap down a track from your iTunes collection. Either make your own tunes or ask someone you know who plays music for a tune - it's a minute long - you can hum a score if you need to!
  • Deadline for entries either by mail / in person or online link in my email in box, is December 18th at 5pm ,NZ time.  (anything later than that is disqualified)
  • use any kind of camera you want . Animate if that's your thing - as long as I can play it , and it abides by the rules, it's in!
  • Don't do anything illegal - and keep in mind that kids may be at the screening .
  • THEME:  This year your film should have a CHRISTMAS theme. (subtle or in your face - you decide)

ALL FILMS RECEIVED WILL SCREEN AS LONG AS THERE"S NOTHING TOO TRAUMATIZING THERE!

Only films complying with ALL RULES will be eligible for competition, but we will endeavor to screen every entry we receive in the cinema , so if you timed it wrong etc, don't worry - the screening is the best part.

WHEN?: Make your film NOW! - you have until December 18th 2011 at 5pm , NZ time to submit your entry.  Don't leave it till last minute! (I know you will though)

FORMAT?: My life will be made easier if your film is on a usb stick in a Quicktime format - but .avi or DVD or whatever you have , will be accepted. If I can't play it, I will contact you & try to work out a way, but ultimately , I will do my best to get everything screened, no guarantees though.

or

Upload to YouTube / Vimeo etc - make it private/passworded for now and send me the link/password
I will have to be able to download it in order to screen it so enable that if applicable.

or

email me when you have your movie done and I will send you a Dropbox link to upload it to.

WHERE?: Either by old school mail to 

Robert Holt
Wanaka Film Trust,
15 Nichol Street,
Lake Hawea,

or

Drop you film in person to Kai Whaka Pai in Wanaka - in an envelope/bag marked

  1. Prizes for 60 Seconds III are starting to roll in. This year there will be a focus on prizes that will help or inspire people to make their next film. With more on the way, we already have over $1,500 worth of prizes from organisations like The Writer's Guild, NZ On Screen, WIFT and NZ Director Robert Sarkies (SCARFIES, OUT OF THE BLUE).
