I have not slept for 37 hours. I had 4 5 hour energies 4 lates, a cup of coffee, minimal food. Its easy to pull an all nighter, but pull a 48 hour brain exercise is difficult. Friday we were presented with a mystery genre,Fantasy in our case and a character (matt michaels - a musician) and object (calender) and "When do you want to meet?" as a line of dialogue, all of which had to appear in the film. We chose an interesting take on fantasy that you will see as soon as I get the film on youtube. I had a crew of around 20 people. 10 teen/adult actors 7 child actors I shot on primarily a T2i and some with a 60d and 5d mk II. i am litterally falling asleep as i type this, I will post the film tomroow or soon, and have some production pics and contest results. Good night

hell yeah man.

we did the same shit in high school, the 50 hour film contest. here's our entry from year two, we won best overall film but the competition was pretty weak. our bigget downfall was not writing out a script.

they gave us a genre, 5 lines we had to use, and certain props we had to include.

From the start I thought it was just going to be a a straight battle scene but when is was switching between the water balloon fight and everything else that was awesome man! Great work doing a foreplay on kids imaginations.
