Official Loss Fest Rules

I might be in if I get the balls to translate a very recent personal loss into my first serious short film
 
actually i think 50MB is pretty decent and a sweet spot between quality and viewers downloading all entries.
just go with an appropriate resolution to match the bitrate.
 
6 minutes is plenty of time - depending on your story. If you can't fit it into 6 minutes, you are either telling the story wrong, or telling the wrong story.
 
Question re: peripheral content. Right now, Erik Olsen has created some items surrounding his sort, an insurance company, banner ads, etc.

Is it all right to extend this kind of thing to say a TV commercial that goes along with the world of the short?
 
I would like to try for this one. Unfortunately, I am unable to output to .mov or MP4, so I guess that leaves me out.
 
Hi all,

Yesterday I watched "Bridge to Terabithia" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398808/) and was surprised that it is more a movie about loss instead of being a fantasy film, which I expected due to the trailers. I suggest that you watch it. Might be a useful source of inspiration.

Merry X-MAS to all!

- Gunnar.
 
I use a desktop PC with Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0. My export options are MPEG2, .WMV and Quicktime. However, anything I try to export to Quicktime always comes out with absolutely horrible resolution.

AVI isn't an option? If you can export an AVI, then you can compress to h.264 using Quicktime Pro.

There are several threads outlining this workflow during every fest.

First things first though - export your movie as an AVI.

First things first: MAKE the movie. Then worry about compression or whatnot. that's the easiest part of the process and you have plenty of time to figure it out... but doesn;t matter if you don't HAVE a movie.
 
As I said, I have a PC with Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0. My ONLY export options are MPEG2, .wmv, Quicktime (which gives horrible images) and Adobe Flash. I could not export as .AVI even if I wanted to and I do not have Quicktime Pro.

Well with that attitude, you are sure to be a roaring success as a filmmaker. Don't change a thing.
