"8-Shot"
We split into small teams and are developed short films from scratch, script to post-production. The only rule we
followed for "8-shot" was that the entire production could only have 8 shots. It was fun and we premiered them at Magdelena's
Tea House. The finished videos will be posted here soon.
48/5 Film Competition
Over one weekend, filmmaking teams had just 48 hours to make a 5-minute short film. From beginning to end, all production,
from scriptwriting to final credits, must take place within the designated time frame. At the start of the event, all the teams
were given the same theme ( i.e., "Time is of the essence") and different props, lines of dialogue and characters. All of
these randomly selected elements must be evident in the finished film for the film to be eligible for an award.
"UNCONVENTIONAL"
A local indie movie. Support indie films! And this one is funny.
"Almost"
Prof. Bill Vincent made a short film at his house this October. It is about a guy trying to get laid at a party
basically. It was quite interesting.
"SILENT SHORTS"
Rules:
1. Each group should let me know the projects they are working on so that I know what to expect for turnout. You can
sign up by emailing me at filmclub@msu.edu or at our meetings.
2. Films are due after break, January 15, 2007. I am going to contact Magdelena's about showing them again, so please
be mindful of this deadline. You have plenty of time to complete your projects. 3. Films can be in color or black and white.
4. Music can be used. There has been some requests for a wider allowance of music, so it has been decided that anything
may be used.
5. Intertitles, screens with words of dialogue or narrative printed on them, are allowed.
6. Films can be any length, from 3 minutes to an hour. Don't use time as an excuse not to get something done.
7. Participate! If you need help with anything, let me know. We're all here to help each other.
8. Here's a website that has info you might find useful:
