Official Twilight Fest Rules

Is it really that hard to understand this:

round or roundish body, of various size and material, either hollow or solid, for use in games, as baseball, football, tennis, or golf, etc.

If it's round or roundish (football) and is used in games then it counts. If it is recognizable as a ball used in a game/sport then it counts.
 
laugh, it's not...it's just hilarious how this conversation got on the ball...i don't even plan to enter, but i wanted to see how many types of balls i could come up with.

like marbles maybe.
 
(and by "you" I don't mean the filmmaker, I mean you...karapetkov :evil: )


I feel the heat alright... :Drogar-Dum(DBG):

I think that by being so rigid on *da ball thing*, you're creating a lot of potential for cinematic silliness.

Which is good. :beer:

My mind is already starting to fill with *ball* idiocy.

:bath:

P.S. Yeah, I know - rules are rules.
 
We are not rigid, there are a tremendous amount of "balls" which fit the criteria .... but remember, this is just a required element. The film does not have to be about balls, it does not have to be about an event that incorporates balls, they don't need to talk about the balls, etc ... just stick a ball in one shot of your fiom and move on. If in a house 9t would not be unusual to see golf balls, tennis balls, a baseball or a football lying somewhere in tne background. If passing down a neighborhood street or by a park it would not be ubusual to see kids playing baseball, football, or kickball -- they don't need to be part of the story (though they can be if you want) but just "set dressing".

Don't over think it, don't try to make your story about balls (if it is about balls fine, but it doesn't have to be), just find one shot where you can stick a ball within the visible frame and move on.
 
Woman in a bar asks a guy, "Can I smell you balls?"
Guy says, "No."
Woman says, "Hmmmmm. Must be your feet."
 
Heh heh, he said balls, Beavis.

If I start with a shot of planet Earth in outer space, is that OK?

Is the Earth a *legit* ball?

Gotta be... although it's not a perfect ball geometrically...

Oh, well...
 
Yea, they have a bunch of those rednecks around here with that shi*.

A bunch of Floridians have them too.... thank GOD I don't live there anymore... I think I'd had enough of that place when someone tried to put a supercharger on a Chevy Cavalier... I think that's the day I moved... (or at least that SHOULD have been the day I moved)

Not "ball shaped", a ball ... read the definition I gave before, it has to be something that is typically used for a game. A ball not a globe or sphere and actually, the Earth is ellipsoidal, not spherical.
 
A-ah, a game ball.

Got it now. :beer:

Hey, it could be a McGuffin.

A ball, which is actually.... something else.

Appearances can be deceiving.

The balls aren't what they are...

A basket ball, which actually holds a mini black-hole generator inside... hidden by... [antagonist] ... found by [protagonist], who is unaware,.. discovers by chance and after a long struggle, prevents the [antagonist] from... [causing the end of the world, for example].

In 6 minutes, .. right.

Hey what happened with the DVXUser feature project? :Drogar-Dum(DBG):
