My production team, X4 Productions, entered the 48Hr. Film Project for Jacksonville, FL. For those unfamiliar with the contest, different teams have 48 hours to write, shoot and edit a short film. The subject matter is given to each team at the beginning of the 48 hours. Obviously it's a hectic contest, but it's fun.

This year, we used my HPX500 as our primary camera and an HVX200A as second cam. You're allowed to use up to 2 cameras for the contest. We shot on 720/24PN. Our entry genre was ghost story and our film was entitled "Echo of Elizabeth."
Anyway, we won the grand prize - Best Film! The P2 format performed flawlessly.

Congratualtions! It is an insane project to take on and I have to say that the stuff that surfaces to the top from this contest, is, well frankly, amazing.

Feel good,

Jan
