Well that looks like 5 possible entries. Throw me in to, which makes 6. I wrote some narration last night and I want to start filming tomorrow. I don't have a lot to do in the coming weeks (except work) so I should be able to get it together. Lets encourage eachother to get this done!

I hope it'll happen then! I'd like to see what everyone could come up with. Maybe Vishus will enter this one, and probably win again!

(edit: I want that LED pannel! It's going to be mine!

Seriously, I'll have to update Vishus' banner...and I don't know how everything will enter on it lol

Whats this about an LED panel ? sorry I've sorta been out of the loop on whats gone on since mid-June. (EDIT:nvm, I decided to be not-lazy and actually checked the first post...awesome panel!)

Do a search, noob!

Seriously, that's a great move from AJUK to give away this led light kit, it worth between 50-60$ easily, if it's not more. That's a great prize!

Prizes=entrys.

I still want your watch Huey

So you're in too? Or waiting on a contest where Huey will give the watch?

**Timbit** · 2011 July 8th, 13:21

I'm in--if I have the time and can think of something that one guy can do...

**Playing** · 2011 July 8th, 17:00

I am back home, but have not looked at my work schedule yet. I refuse to look until until Sunday. I have shot a clip while traveling that I like for the Noir theme and now I have to come up with a script to match the clip and twist my friends arm to act in it.

**KingDucky** · 2011 July 8th, 17:36

I'm possibly in, gotta ask some friends to help. We'll see...

Looks you both have the same problem!
I'll probably do something on my own, again, so we'll see how it goes.

**Playing** · 2011 July 9th, 10:18

Drapes, you have no more space in your signature for more wins

I've got a plot in my head and I have the lights. What I don't know is how to do Noir with my white walls.

Hey! It's like going shopping at IKEA with the girlfriend in a smart©: she'll always be able to find more space to put everything in! (trust me, I don't have a smart but..)
I have an idea, but I seriously doubt I'll win this one!

Man, one day we should meet, team up and shoot something together...where are you in ontario? I mean, Ottawa/Trois-Rivières is ~3h30 in car.

**AJUK** · 2011 July 9th, 17:47

So by now I expect many of you will be well underway with your entries. Here's a link to a great flickr set showing some examples of film-noir style lighting to give you some ideas for shots: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=stro...oir&m=tags&z=t

Also here is another useful link to a lighting tutorial for film-noir:

Don't forget that there is only two weeks left to get your entry finished and be in with a chance of winning a brand new LED portable lighting rig. Time to get filming

Thanks for the links John, and I didn't forgot that you're giving away that great Led light...I'd like to win it so much!
I'll start shooting it later this week.

**paperkut12** · 2011 July 10th, 11:50

I supposedly have 3 actors for tomorrow (that is if they all come through) and my script should be done by today. I'm not too stoked on my idea, but given the time I have for my actors it'll have to do and hopefully it fits the Noir theme well.

**Vishus** · 2011 July 10th, 17:42

I'm looking forward to a bunch of great entries! I won't have the time to put anything together myself for this one, but I know a lot of cool stuff can come out of a theme like this!

1) Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we'll get great shorts for this one!
2) That's bad, I would have liked to watch what you could do for this theme!

**Vishus** · 2011 July 10th, 19:47

Speaking of Noir: Sunday Cracker's entry for the Halloween Contest would have been perfect here too! http://vimeo.com/groups/65126/videos/15931047

**paperkut12** · 2011 July 10th, 22:35

One of my actors flaked out on me. Really frustrating because I'm dying to film something, anything. Now I have to come up with a new idea or rework what I have.

And yes, Sunday Cracker's entry was indeed perfect for this. I actually went back and watched it before.

Well, why don't you write something that involves mostly you? That way you'll be able to shoot something.
I've done it for contest #3 and I won...you're skilled enough to come with something good!

I'll start mine later this week for sure, let's hope everything will work fine this time.

I hope so. That's what I plan to do most likely. Good luck on your entry, I'm sure it will be great.
