But you'd have to sell the car so you could afford to insure it.

Re: 5 second short__Win Honkin big car
I still hate the fact that my favorite bad-ass band of all time has been diluted down to pitching cars.
If a choice had to be made, I would much prefer Led Zeppelin's existence to that of Cadillac anyday.

..for some reason it wont load the flash for me. i read the rules in the .pdf but they are unclear, is the film suuppoed to be about advertising the cadillac, or is it just supposed to be a random film.. the rules dont say. could someone fill me in on whether or not the film is supposed to be about something in particular or not. i can check later with a flash enabled computer, but id like to know asap . you know how it is..

Re: 5 second short__Win Honkin big car
Hey Neil,
It is a contest to make a 5 second (or less) film for Cadillac. It appears to be tied in with the new John Travolta movie. The deadline is Feb. 17th.
There are 5 categories (drama, comedy, action/adventure, mystery or biography).
Grand prize: Have your "Under 5" film air on national TV as part of a Cadillac commercial, and a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V... I still prefer Zep!

Re: 5 second short__Win Honkin big car
thanks terry! so is it supposed to advertise cadillac(i would assume so) or anything specific in some way, or is it just suuposed to be a film under 5 seconds about whatever you want? the rules .pdf only says this..:
CONTEST DESCRIPTION: The Cadillac Under 5 Contest (the “Contest”) is a skill contest whereby you are invited to
submit a movie which you have produced (see Movie Requirements below) to be judged in one of five areas:
Comedy, Drama, Mystery, Biography and Action/Adventure (each, a “Category”). The Contest begins at 12:00 AM
Eastern Time (ET) on 2/6/05 and ends at 11:59 PM ET on 2/17/05 (“Contest Period”).
im wondering if the flash part of the site says that its suuposed to be about how sexy cadillacs are or about the new cadillac suv or something particular like that.

There seems to be a lot of 'legalese' written in that box and believe me... I'm no Jimerson.
However, here is what it says under "Contest Description"...

There is definitely more text on the subject, but that is all I can type for now. I am a terrible typist but had to type the above as I can't select the text on the Flash animation.
From what I can gather, it is open as far as topic(s)... so long as you stay within the heretofore mentioned "Category"... :

Re: 5 second short__Win Honkin big car
..huh? so it really doesnt say anything more than the .pdf. i have all the rules stuff in the .pdf whch includes that, but i cant believe that they wouldnt say what they what it to be about specifically. .. they do say that its not supposed to contain any "commercial tie-ins" .. but if you put a cadillac in there its a commercial tie in. .. lol, ill contact them through the link and ask for clarification if im still at a loss after i check the flash portion. I just dont like wasting my time on things like this when they give you ambiguos rules and then judge according to some strict unwritten criteria like "we wanted it to show how fun cadilacs are to own".
and for goodness sake stop hitting that cowbell!

If you haven't already, go buy the SNL: Best of Christopher Walken DVD. It has that, plus many other hilarious skits on it.
