ED NOTE: Your
film submission must abide by the 4 required details listed above.
(Your film must fit our overall concept, and must
include our posted phrase, and must include our posted object, and
must meet the 4th requirement. We 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 concepts, 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 by us and others. Send that
url to the McCarty Metro at mccartymetro@gmail.com.
Besides the link, provide us the name of the video,
info of your staff, actors, etc., and production team name.
Your finished film must be uploaded before Sunday, July 3rd 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 portray our posted concept, use one of our posted
phrases, one of our posted objects, and must meet a specific 4th
requirement
Videos must be uploaded by Sunday, July 3rd 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.
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.
