I assume that this means that our film should be focused on any non-human animal life forms. What I would like to clarify however, is does this mean that the film should not contain any humans at all or can we show some humans in the video, just not as a primary focus?

Great! - give us an easy one, then worry the hell out of us about what's coming up next challenge.

hm, i thought i was just kinda slippin' that in there...

ralph, you can have your humans make their cameos...the goal is to stay focused on executing an interpretation of the theme. conceivably, you could have a bunch of humans talking about something wildlife-oriented, but, unless it's an amazing story with interesting cinematography, you probably won't please this crowd of animal voyeurs.

Thanks Meryem,
This one is just what i need before i make my big move across the Pacific to Canada. On July 2nd i will be jumping on a plane bound for Rossland Canada to live. Between now & then, i have 1 million & 1 things to do, so this is probably the best theme i could have hoped for.

Thanks Meryem! One of the ideas that I have for my project would have to include people in some scenes for it to work. They would not at all be the focus of the film, but would be there as it would be otherwise difficult to tell the story properly.

An interesting theme.
Off to the "think box", trying to come up with a good idea...

Good luck, everyone!!
