ED NOTE: Your film
submission must abide by the 4 required details listed above. (Your film must fit
into ONE of our posted genres, and must include our
posted phrase, and must include our posted object, and
must meet the fourth 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.)
When finished, you need to save your video on your computer.
Go to http://www.youtube.com
and create a YouTube account
(If you don't have one already).
Click the Upload button to upload your video. While uploading,
you can provide more information. In the description of the
video, please provide the names of everyone involved in your
production, the production team name if you have one (ours is
Bradric Productions). Title and artist for any music you use.
Once the upload is complete, YouTube will provide you with the
web address that your video can be viewed from. Forward that web
address to the McCarty Metro at mccartymetro@gmail.com.
Besides the link, provide me with the name of the video,
info of your staff, actors, etc., and production team name.
Your finished film must be
uploaded before Monday, June 30th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
Videos can be no longer than 4
minutes in length.
Videos cannot include any
explicit content (Obscene language, nudity, sexual situations,
etc.)
Videos must include one of our
posted genres, one of our posted phrases, one of our posted
objects, and must meet a specific 4th requirement
Videos must be uploaded by Monday June 30th at 11:59PM Eastern Time.
Videos 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.
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, send an email to mccartymetro@gmail.com,
and I will reply to you or post it here.
