This past weekend I particpated in my Short10Cinema Contest.
This was the first time I have done a 100 hour video contest. This means I had to write/ record/ edit a video in under 100 hours. I have done similar contests (with awesome team members) before, they were all 48 hour contests. We thought this one would be a walk in the park compared to doing everything in 48 hours. Compared to those contests, where we didn’t know what type of movie we had to make (comedy, drama, sci-fi ect .) in this contest we did (comedy or dark comedy).
For my Team first off I have to talk about my Director/ lead writer Brian Dundas (Evil Ducky). We have been classmates/ friends for a few years now and work well together. This contest actually counts towards his senior project for school. Me and him have done videos where we were the whole crew and actors still felt the support as if we were a larger crew. Although we do take credits such as Director and Editor ect . . . neither one of us would (or could) take full credit for the process of making these videos.
This is our Bio that Short 10 Cinema Posted.
Latest Short10Cinema entrants, Brian Dundas (Evil Ducky) and Scott Maiale (Toaden) are a filmmaking duo from Detroit who met in the hallowed halls of Lawrence Tech University in 2010 when they realized they could get class credit for a film consisting of nothing but random bits of footage backed with Pagliacci. They compete regularly in 48-hour contests… usually together, when they aren’t arguing over whether “We’ll fix it in post” is valid grounds for divorce. Ducky works as the in-house TV show director for Hazel Park racetrack, a voice actor, and independent filmmaker. Toaden works as editor/cameraman/production assistant at a local university and his YouTube channel (ToadenK) is partnered with Fullscreen Network.
It is very noteworthy as well that this is also the first time working with Louis Badalament. Louis is better known as the “Awful Weatherman” from a video from his early days of collage.
This video was so popular he was invited to be on Tosh.0 for a Web Redemption. http://tosh.comedycentral.com/video-clips/2fylgg/web-redemption—bad-weatherman
Our elements were: It had to be a comedy or dark comedy, have a telephone pole and a rubber ball, have the word “holiday” in it, and be under ten minuets in length including the credits.
This is the finial product
