We went to the screening last night and had a blast (free beer), and, for the first time in my filmmaking career (first time ever, possibly), we took first place in a festival. It was a 24 hour film competition where they gave us a set of ingredients (a series of props, a background theme, a specific newspaper bin and a line from an old movie), which was actually really difficult. We came up with the idea of a '50's style instructional video and just went to town. Started Saturday morning at 9am, finished Sunday morning at 6am, and last night won first prize!

It's not the most visually interesting shot-wise, I know, but I was aiming for the style of those old films, locked down tripod shots, lots of straight-ahead and slightly-angular shots, etc. I was sort of disappointed I couldn't do anything "cool" with it, but I'm still stoked!
 
was the funny sounding audio done on purpose? It didn't sound grainy like I'd envision, more of an echo sound.
 
thanks luis, it's our first first place but every body in the group is stoked so hopefully we'll go on working together

xyouthx, you're right, it doesn't sound like it should. we're gonna fix it up for the final version that i stick up online for the website, youtube, etc. there's still a bunch of work to do, but you know how it is with the competitions - you gotta have it turned in at the buzzer and that's it. we're gonna go back to it and tweak and tighten it when the editor gets back from new york
