    Default Antman's Short Film Contest #8 - Misunderstanding / open genre

    Thanks everyone for organizing this contest. I am really enjoying it. My suggestion for the next theme is: Misunderstanding.
    I feel this can turn into anything. Comedy, Drama, Thriller, Love Story…

    -Playing




    Judges:
    HueyNRolf, Ratfink, and Cornreaper

    The reserve judge in the case of a stalemate is
    KingDucky

    Videos are due by June 20th at 3pm (GMT -8) to the vimeo page located here

    Reminder of the Rules:
    1) Can't be longer than 5 minutes
    2) Shouldn't be rated over PG-13
    3) Video should be posted on vimeo official page ONLY. Videos for the current theme will not be available to view until the contest deadline > managed by Shigeta, creator of the official page.
    4) The winner can enter the next competition.
    5) Use of copyrighted material/songs : as long as it's not the center point/plot of the story, it's allowed. Otherwise user will be disqualified. Example : the coca-cola can/SONY tv somewhere in the movie isn't considered as a copyrighted infringement.

    As far as it goes, that's the most up to date rules.

    A very interesting theme, I'll see what I can do about this one. I need to get out and shoot some drama to wash off this comedy theatre crap I've been working on for the last week.

    This sounds great. Hopefully this will be the contest I actually dedicate time and structure too. Nice theme playing.

    Misunderstanding : A failure to understand or interpret correctly.
    Just had a cool idea.
    Would Imbroglio work too? (imbroglio - a very embarrassing misunderstanding )

    Go for it. I am glad you guys think it's a good theme.

    I am unfortunately involved in a 24 hour contract for the Soccer Word Cup and doubt I will have enough spare time, but who knows...

    If there is one thing this contest taught me:
    There is no room for error in a 3 minute video.
    In a movie you will forget a bad frame at the end of 90 minutes, but not in this.
    Thanks once more to everybody involved and please have fun with the new one.

    Can I be honest and just post here since I want to subscribe to the thread?

    Looking forward to the entries. I think I used my actors too many times in a row for the first bunch. I like the theme but think I'll need to wait until they are willing again.

    I'm gonna try to get the crew together on this one. I want to make a real planned out short film, all my entries are made randomly at 4am. BTW, Vishus, your avatar sickens me.....q-:

    Finally, after months of wanting to enter this contest my school year is coming to an end and it looks like I'll have the time to shoot something. Unless anything changes I should be able to get something finished by the deadline. I understand the rules except for one point. When I first started reading about the contest I believe we were going to make the winner of one contest a judge for the next contest. Is this still the rule? If not how are the judges chosen?

    A little clean up has been made recently, in the threads, stickies and rules. Judges are now (always, unless something changes) HueyNRolf, cornreaper and ratfink. KingDucky is the reserve judge in the event of a stalemate as Huey said.
    Rules are now in a sticky, as well as all the shorts from previous entry in a 'film archive' sticky.
    Now the winner only choose the next theme & can enter the next contest.

    Shigs calls on volunteers to judge. I'm sure he'd let the winner be a judge in the next. But that would exclude the winner from participating.
    The winner gets to choose the theme and gets a trophy icon.
    The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

    Well... I really wanted to enter an Antman contest now that school's out, but I'm leaving on a two-week trip. I'll be watching to see the entries though, I always love what people here come up with. Great theme this time, by the way.

    So there will be different judges from a contest to another, according to the volunteers that want to judge?
    Thought it was decided that you, cornreaper and ratfink were the official judges, as well as Kingducky as the reserve judge.

    Actually, I don't think there was a clear policy on this. Yes those were the judges on the last one and again this time.

    If these are the 'official' judges from now on, I don't mind. I also wouldn't mind stepping down if, lets say, a winner wanted to judge.

    Let's say that you and you 4000 posts along with cornreaper and ratfink are the "official" judges for antman's contest, so it'll be set.

    4,000 posts? Holy crap. Could this place be the cause of my procrastination?

    Sure it's an honor to be an official judge. Turns out that my little get away in July won't coincide with a contest date.

    Where do I sign?

    I'd co-sign but my credit is bad.
