Final - should have been the first Black President.

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> I love a 48 Hour Film Challenge! Our university film club used to hold one every year. I was never on a participating team, but I went to the showing/juding event, and they were more than usually hilarious. They were never explicitly sci-fi themed, but always fun. I really like the sci-fi addendum, though. I'm sure that's going to be a fun event.

Otherwise it sucks. Makes me vomit inside my mouth.

Come on guys, it's just a 48 hour film festival with a sci-fi hook. Same as hundreds of these around the world, only they never include sci-fi as a genre.

Yes. But not a good one...

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> that's like the novel in ninety days meme. It's not that it is so good, it is that it gets done.. Great moral boost, and might teach wannabe artists that you can do anything if you don't agonize about it.

My wife completed her novel, 50,013 words in the time limit, and really boosted her confidence.

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> there's a 48 hour film project in the US, as well. some of the movies have been terrible, some have been excellent.

[www.48hourfilm.com] is the worldwide link, i think.

i know the boston-area competition is coming up this spring. not sure about other cities.

I wonder if you could Craigslist someone to burn and drop off the movie for you?

Yes, the original Little Shop of Horrors was done in two days and a night, mostly on a dare. Roger Corman would be right at home in this challenge!

have you ever shot a film? Even a short film can easily take days to shoot. That 5 second reaction shot the director wants? Well, there is a few minutes set-up, a few minutes of takes and another few at the editing stage figuring out which one (if any) gets used.

There's 5 seconds (which is a huge long shot actually) of your film. Rinse and repeat a hundred times.

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> How long could a 3-5 minute film actually take to complete?

BloggyMcBlogBlog

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> Also, Didn't "Little Shop of Horrors" take two days to film? But that's 'horror' I suppose.

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> We should stop ourselves and consider: Should we make a scifi film in two days?

moncapitaine

]]> <![CDATA[Can You Make A Science Fiction Film In Two Days?]]> Are there any good scifi flicks that were actually made in 2 days? I think even Night of the Living Dead might have taken a couple of weeks.
