2-MINUTE FILM CLUB! "The fight"
by sergioKomic
And thanks to Sam Chen for his great ideas....
THE CHALLENGE:
Create a short micro movie inspired by the published topic.
The finished short can be LIVE ACTION, LIVE ACTION WITH VFX or ANIMATED. But you only have ONE MONTH to finish the piece. The projects can be done by an individual but team entries are encouraged.
The key of the challenge, for all entry types, is to do an simply do a short. This means that the final piece will be evaluated mostly on the principles of story telling. My advice, keep it simple and work as part of a team.
Rules for the different types of entries:
ANIMATED (Difficulty Level HIGH)
Pre made models can be used.
The story and animation must be done after the topic has been selected.
Extensive WIP posts are required as evidence that the work has been done after the topic selected.
LIVE ACTION WITH VFX: (Difficulty Level HIGH)
More emphasis on composite work and Visual effects
The VFX must complement the storyline
For this kind of entry You can do anything you want, as long as the entry looks polished, and has at least some basic filmaking theory behind it. The entries will be judged more on the esthetics of the scenes and the dynamism of the finished effects.
LIVE ACTION: (Difficulty Level MEDIUM)
More emphasis on editing, lighting and cinematography.
The scenes in the entry require good flow and good camera work
For this kind of entry You can do anything you want, as long as the entry looks polished, and has at least some basic science behind it. The entries will be judged more on the esthetics of the scenes and the dynamism of the finished animation.
HYBRID ENTRY: (Difficulty Level VERY HIGH)
It combines the required of both the LIVE ACTION and the VFX entry.
The best animation/short will be selected by an open vote
for these categories:
Best Cinematography
Best Storyline
Best Editing

Best Overall Entry
The winner will get bragging rights and a small banner
designed by me.
