Bradric
Productions, along with The McCarty Metro, are pleased to
announce its' second 72 Hour Film Project. The event will take
place from August 17th to August 19th, 2013. The event is open
to all. We are looking for people to write, act, direct and
produce a short 4 minute or less movie and submit it within 72
hours. Please note all the red bullets in the details section as
they are the rules...
DETAILS...
Starting on Friday August 17th, at 12:01 AM Eastern Time, you
will have exactly 72 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short
film that meets the set guidelines laid out in “Details”
below. The winners will be determined by the McCarty Metro
staff.
The winners will be prominently featured on McCarty Metro, and
Bradric Productions website, as well as our Facebook, Twitter
sites, and will be featured on an upcoming Rick's Martini Bar
episode.
On
Friday August 17th at 12:01AM Eastern Time, we will update this
page on the McCarty Metro with four items:
A list of genres
A list of phrases
A list of objects
One other yet-to-be-disclosed requirement
Your film
submission must include ONE from each list. (Your film must fit
into ONE of our posted genres, and must include ONE of our
posted phrases, and must include ONE of our posted objects, and
must meet the fourth yet-to-be-disclosed requirement.) We must
do this to ensure that no films are written, shot, or edited
before the beginning of our contest.
| Example: A
“comedy” film that includes the phrase “I have a bad
feeling about this” in the dialogue and includes a telephone.
(NOTE: This is just an example! We will post
the official list of acceptable genres, phrases, and objects at
the time listed above.) |
Videos cannot include any
explicit content (Obscene language, nudity, sexual situations,
etc.)
Videos can be no longer than 4
minutes in length.
Videos must include one of our
posted genres, one of our posted phrases, one of our posted
objects, and must meet the fourth yet-to-be-disclosed
requirement.
Videos must be uploaded by Sunday
August 19th at 11:59PM Eastern Time.
**UPDATED**
Video cannot contain copyrighted music. Only music you create,
own the rights to, or that is public domain and royalty free is
permissible. Just because you own a band’s CD does not
give you the “rights” to use it in your own production.
Failure to follow these
guidelines will result in elimination from the contest.
FAQs:
Q: How will the
films be judged?
A: On overall quality. Writing, acting, plot, etc.
Q: I don’t have a
nice camera. And all I’ve got is Windows Movie Maker/iMovie.
Can I still compete?
A: Absolutely! If you have a good script, we don’t care how
poor the video quality is. Just do the best with what you have-
we want EVERYONE to compete!
Q: Does my film have to
be ABOUT the phrase and object I choose?
A: Not at all. As long as the phrase is spoken at some point in
the film, and the object is in the camera’s view at some point
in the film, you are good!
Q: What kind of music is
permissible for inclusion in my film?
A: Either music you created, own the rights to, or public
domain, royalty-free music. There are a ton of websites that
offer this kind of music for download, completely free. Just
because you own a band’s CD does not give you the “rights”
to use it in your own production.
(Come back to this page
often- it’ll be updated with more FAQs regularly leading up to
the event!)
Those are all of the official
rules! If you have any further questions, email me at contest@mccartymetro.com,
and I will answer them in a reply, or on this page.
