We've just finished the insane madness which was the 48 hour film competition. By "We've" I mean 'CUDDL' or (collaborative underground dangerous design label www.cuddl.co.nz) which is a group of young highly talented wellintonians which have been magically bought together by powers unknown (disguised as Alex Matthews) to create, enjoy, prosper, and generally rock your socks off. The 48 hour film competition, for those of you who don't know, is a film competition run in NZ in which you have to create a 1-7 minute film in 48 hours. On the day you are told what needs to be in your film. We got, 1 brush of any kind, 1 perfectionist by the name of Keri Post, the line "wait a minute", and the genre 'mystery movie'.All in all, the weekend was insanely fun, but we were a little overambitious and didnt quite finish our 14 page epic (We were daaaaamn close though). Once weve actually completed the film it will be uploaded on my webpage and on youtube.
-EDIT OK well we did actually end up handing something in, in the late hand-in. It's screening tonight at 9.15 at the paramount theatre in wellington.. Its going to rule! the film we handed in was an excessively last minute entry and is quite hilarious. We had to film it off the computer screen with a camera without even previewing our final edit, there is still parts with director saying "action" "cut" etc, and the whole film has us talking about it and laughing at the problems in the background (due to having to tape it from the screen). We've also decided to enter our actual final edit into the fringe film festival, which will be good.
