This past weekend I participated in a 72 hour 4K Film Challenge. The rules for the challenge were it had to be filmed in 4K (I have the RED digital cinema camera which allows me to do that). It had to be written, filmed, edited and posted in 72 hours. It could be no longer than 5 minutes (6 minutes including credits). I had to use one phrase and one prop from the list below. Genre, locations, story etc was all up to me (and my team).
Props:
1. An inflatable raft
2. A Toaster
3. A Laptop
4. A flashlight
5. A Red Scarf
Phrases:
1. "I take it Black"
2. "Everything in Life Changes"
3. "Gimme back my sweater"
4. "Don't put that there!"
5. "What is a DSMC?"
See if you can spot what we used!
Everyone who worked on the film was a volunteer. The team was assembled 2 days before the challenge. The music was an original score by a Berklee grad student who wrote it as we edited. (I'm in the Boston area). This was sponsored by Vuze.com.
You can watch it at the link below. If you like it, please vote for it. There's no money to win but my ego may expand if we win the popular vote. Everyone did excellent work in a limited time.
I think the camera looks great. What you are seeing is 720P down-converted from 4K. We cut this in FCP and color corrected in Color. Neither me nor the editor is well versed in CC so it definitely could have been better. In any case let me know what you think. All feedback is accepted!
