HD Shorts 3?

**koolpenguin89** · 2009 April 17th, 16:53

So guys, I have decided not to do an HD Shorts 3, at least not right now. General lack of interest amongst the members, along with the recent expansion of the forum have influenced my decision. Im not writing the competition off completely, it just didn't seem to make sense to do it now.

I was thinking maybe instead of a film competition, we could do more of an awards type of thing, like a mini-oscars for only the HV20.com community. Anyone could submit anything they have created and awards could be given for best writing, directing, cinematography, acting, lighting, etc.. Or not, i don't know, Im just trying to get the community involved. Let me know what you guys think.

Hey im kind of new to the forum (but not to film making for sure) im totally into the oscar idea it allows for much more freedom and also rewards people other than the director which is cool to! So im hoping to hear some news soon because school is almost out and if i don't make any films this summer im gonna go crazy!!!

**koolpenguin89** · 2009 April 17th, 17:35

Well the whole idea is that the films don't have to be made specifically for the event, so go ahead and make some films! If and when we start taking entries, any film shot on the Vixia series of camcorders could be submitted, regardless of when and where it was made. Or at least thats what Im aiming for.

Lack of interest? People have just been waiting to see what the theme was. We should take a vote or something.

My brother and I are in.

**koolpenguin89** · 2009 April 21st, 20:27

I know you were in Flint, as were a couple of other people. But i had only recieved responses from 5 people, and i don't think thats enough to warrant a competition with judges and sponsors and whatnot. Don't let this stop you from making films, just get out there and do it. If i were to get a bunch of people wanting to participate, i would of course reconsider, but i have yet to see anything of the sort.

Can't we just avoid prizes this time around? Or at least another Short shorts would be awesome! Something with a theme. I don't know why I like themes so much, but I think it's because it sets a direction and when you're finished you get to see what everyone else came up with. It's a great way to open up to new ideas.

Give us a 1 minute comp, at least.

I love this forum so much, I don't want to go compete against ex1s!!!!

But do you see my point? You are the only person on this entire forum who even expressed any concern for me shutting it down. If i get more interest, ill reconsider, but i don't think its worth the time to set up a whole rule system and voting system and film channel on vimeo just for 2 or 3 people. no offense.

No themes!= Great Idea.

My camera and I are in.

**Flint Loveless** · 2009 April 22nd, 19:15

I do see your point. We need people to express interest! Who would like to do a short shorts 2?

So far it's Max Lamare are I.

And then there were 2...

**Maxwell** · 2009 April 22nd, 19:23

short shorts 2?

Short Shorts?

Aren't we already doing that? Wouldn't you want to have more freedom with making a movie?

**Flint Loveless** · 2009 April 22nd, 21:42

Alright, man, 5 minutes. 10 minutes! Who cares? Let's just get something going. Damn...

-Flint

PS. I thought 1 minute would bring people out of the wood works cause it's less intimidating then doing a 5 minute or longer, but I'm still down.

Thank god you agree

**KP Brown** · 2009 April 23rd, 16:36

I'm willing to do something. Anything really.

**Maxwell** · 2009 April 23rd, 18:16

Why is it that were the only people commenting on KoolPenguins idea?

**Flint Loveless** · 2009 April 23rd, 19:29

It's, "we're" not "were" and I know right? What the heck. No one wants to make movies? WTF...

Wtf, indeed.

Like i said before im 100% percent in but I think part of the problem is advertising most people stopped checking after koolpenguin said that it was going to be postponed so something needs to be done to get it out there!

**koolpenguin89** · 2009 April 23rd, 20:04

I've got a message in my signature, so hopefully some people will see that.

Dylan

**thecoleinator** · 2009 April 23rd, 20:11

cool have you had any responses?

**Maxwell** · 2009 April 23rd, 20:24

WTF, why isnt anybody posting on this?

**Flint Loveless** · 2009 April 23rd, 20:57

Lets start a new thread with the title, "HD Shorts Sign up!" or something.

**Maxwell** · 2009 April 23rd, 21:09

Sure, but isnt that KoolPenguins job?

**Flint Loveless** · 2009 April 23rd, 21:20

I don't know... I mean, I started this thread. Why wait?

1 · 2009 April 23rd, 21:44

Let's keep this organized; and this thread is suitable for this discussion.

Would be great to see a new HD Short, and koolpenguin is working towards finding out what the interest is. At least give him an opportunity to come to a conclusion.

**thecoleinator** · 2009 April 23rd, 21:46

I agree Flint if you have time i would throw up a thread with that title and that tells what its about exc... Also we can jabber forever about wether or not to do this or we can actually sort of start an actual thread for it
