NextFest

See, that's the thing. He used a non-traditional tool and made something unique. That to me is not being bound by limitations. I suppose it's 2 different ways of looking at the same thing, really...
 
I would have this time, too bad I got caught up in shooting other things. xD

Editing John Woo entry right now.
 
If I have time I will. Lately, I've actually gotten the pleasure of getting caught up in doing other projects. My wish to find people to work with ended up coming true.

But, if it's a cool genre I'll try to squeeze a fest entry in?
 
Thanks, Mark. Nice rickroll, ha ha.

I'm not defending the "Dogme movement" as it were; I've seen a few and not been impressed, although Rick Schmidt's Dogme-certified film "Chetzemoka's Curse" is probably the best of his that I've seen.

For those who don't understand what I mean by the "crutches", let's just point back to Mark's video that he pointed to. There you've got lights, actors, sets, a fake scenario, all that. And the result is a cheesy overplayed music video. On the other side we could look to something like this clip from the Dogme film I did with Rick. There's no fake sets, no lights, anything like that, but I think you'll all agree it offers a little more substance than getting Rickrolled! :thumbsup:

Dogme style fest or an adapted version of its guidelines

Based on fact fest

(or combine the 2), guess I'm up for some gritty realism without specific subject matter

good to see a healthy discussion on the possibility, though jack definitely put it in a more enticing way :beer:
 
Not quite. Remember that one of the Dogme rules is that the camera has to always be handheld. I appreciate the filmmaker's attempts to comply to the spirit of the Dogme95 Manifesto, but the use of the tripod disqualifies him from "strict adherence." Excellent clip though.
 
A good choice for a fest could be one where you shoot a 5min short without any cuts during those 5 min, if you know what I mean.

5min, no cuts, an actor's nightmare, :)

GV.

ala Rope or the opening sequence from Snake Eyes?
 
I think it's pretty obvious what to do next....Rick-Fest! All original Rick Astley music video clips.

Here's my pitch... shorts must be centered around a theme of sleep or sleeping, or dreams, or insomnia.... and we'll call it SNOOZEFEST!!!!
