Antman's Film Contest #32: Valentine

[Vishus]

Valentine

Love is in the air? It's just under 3 weeks until Valentine's Day!

For this round, the task is to do a romantic, sexy, emotional, loving or even ridiculous Valentine's Day short film! It doesn't have to be about the emotions or the day itself, it's a general theme, so if you want to do something about cupid, or something about the perils of heart-shaped chocolate, it's all applicable!

Reminder of the Rules:
1) Shouldn't be rated over PG-13.
2) 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 Vishus, AJUK and drapeama.
3) a) Use of copyrighted material: as long as it's not the center point/plot of the story, it's allowed. Otherwise user will be disqualified. Example: A Coca-Cola can/SONY TV somewhere in the movie isn't considered as a copyrighted infringement.
b) Use of copyrighted music both in lyrics, score or performance, other than such that is recorded incidentally during normal filming, without a release will result in the video being disqualified.
c) Entries must be made specifically for the theme submitted to, within the deadline. All entries made before the announcement of the theme will be disqualified.
4) Users judging the contests, Official Judges or not, should use the template available here to post their reviews. Of course, only the officials judges' reviews will be considered to decide on a winner.
5) Deadline will be announced in a 24h time format. The week starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Days are starting at 00:00 and ends at 23:59. Also, please refer to this UTC/GMT time to calculate the deadline in your zone (check on the right and select your country & state/province).
6) Five minutes or less! No going over!
7) Content should be created for this contest. No re-purposing old stuff please!

Good idea. Not necessarily easy, but let's see how it'll turn.

Where is the fun in easy?

Where is the fun in easy?

You get a point, but making something that's not easy is rewarding. Making something easily isn't, but it's funny to do though!
I like making video when I have to surpass myself, but I also like working on videos that I can do eyes closed...it's some kind of relaxing time when I'm not working.

[Vishus]

I'm with you Mark! Depends on my mood. Sometimes I want a real challenge, other times, it's just fun to go with the flow and make something fun and easy!

I've never done a valentine's themed short before, so I am hoping my schedule clears up in the next little while so I can!

No time limit? Feature film here we come! (jk)

[Almohada]

Well looks like someone can use their previous entry for this one too... http://vimeo.com/34924224

[Vishus]

and to both of you! Rules have been updated!

[charlie_tango]

Sounds nice! Hope I will have enough time to work on something for this one!

[Reelaxed]

I think the week before 14th is clear on our end; no exams afaik. I'm pretty sure we'll shoot *something*.

[J Davis]

Not sure on this one. The wife says I lack sensitivity I do have an idea but I am not sure if I have the technical skills to pull off what is in my head.

[drapeama]

Let's see what I can relate to the theme for this one!

[J Davis]

If it would be alright with the moderators / judges I am willing to offer the below pictured "Rail Rig" as a prize for this contest. Hoping it would be a little incentive to get some people to enter and a good way for me to introduce a product that I am bringing to market. Well part of it. When I have finished the rest of the design it will also be convertible to a "Run & Gun" rig.

The HV30 is " NOT " included !

Sick HVFF!

[J Davis]

Sick HVFF!

Thanks, it was such a great design I had to have one. I am drawing up an adapter that will allow your HVFF to be mounted to the rails of the rig. Hoping my rig will appeal to a lot of the people who use your HVFF. The whole idea was to develop something that was more affordable to the hobbyist and still looked semi-pro. My photograph sucks as bad as my video work, the pictures don't really do it justice. The black and shiny aluminum are a great match to the HV30.

Thats very generous of you! I was pretty busy with other projects but may enter because of this. I still own an hv20 and this would make a great addition to my compliment of HV gear.

[Vishus]

So we've got a theme that a few people said that they were interested in, we've got a generous prize up from J Davis… Anybody working on anything?

[HD-tography]

Insanely busy with various editing projects, my education, and preparing for this upcoming year... I'm out... maybe next one for me... however I'm still shooting for even more upcoming projects this week

[Almohada]

I'm putting a concept together. Think it will be called "Date At The Zoo"

[Shaunp007]

Think it will be called "Date At The Zoo"

You should record the audio using an NTG-2 through your laptop, then color grade every scene differently...it seems like you have already suceeded.

On a serious note, I won't be entering this contest. The rigors of working overtime and finishing up some paid video work has gobbled up all my time.

I will... I will...

[HueyNRolf]

Are the judges lined up for this one?

[Almohada]

Don't think so... not yet.

[drapeama]

Are the judges lined up for this one?

Sort of, two out of three, but I & Charlie haven't done anything, so I can fill the last place:

Thank you. I'll be happy to serve the contest. Looking forward.

Your name's on the list now.

I'll judge! and eventually submit one, when I have some time lol.

[HueyNRolf]

Oh I see. I thought I volunteered for the last one. I can do this one too, but maybe you should rotate the judges some. How about Shaun or HD? They're not entering this time.

Let me know.
