48 hr film contest is over but I have to rave about this crew...

Hey everyone!

Saw the entries last night plus one done by Millions of Us and some are very, very good.
If you want to see them, they will be broadcast on the web at 5pm today (Thurs Jan17)

You have to register but it is free and easy.

Having spent the first three hours, after we got given the vital components/elements that had to be included in the movie by the organisers, with this team to discuss a storyboard, I went to bed for 8 hours.

Upon waking, I downloaded over 50 emails containing still pictures, voiceovers (several versions each with different variations of emotives, scripts and notecards containing text notations. Having downloaded and digested all that information, I logged in game.

3 builds had been completed and fitted out, actors waiting fully scripted and dressed with all outfits, all items complete and on hand, animations ready and complete. After grabbing all the footage inworld, I logged out and composed all the elements, including the CrazyTalk sections, adding credits, sound effects and music etc.

We finished the project in 36 hours, 12 hours ahead of the time alotted, when only 6 out of the 12 groups, managed to meet the deadline. That alone tells its own story. I believe we made a very good movie that encompasses each of the required elements, without any falsehoods or fudge arounds. The storyboard and scripting, builds, props, voiceovers, stills collating into a coherient story almost as if taken from a rl event.

The skill and talents combined with the sympathy of eachothers requirements and work, melted into a linear operation, mirroring a similar event, with not just a 48 hour deadline, but months of preparation time.

You have to wonder how such talented people could create such an awesome job, using:
Prop: A Pink Flamingo
Name: Tony Martin
Genre: Buddy Movie
Line: That's just the way it is.
