Official Rules for Trailerfest 2 - trailery-er

as long as it wasnt shot already prior to this ad fests dates. its a great chance to really make something appear bigger than it is and simply showcase an idea rather than a complete story.

Unfortunately I ALWAYS have to shoot with my own gear. No rental shops or schools near me with equipment. Makes it fun though.

Yeah... but all Rod has is a ViewMaster and a FisherPrice KiddieCam! He will be editing on an Etch-a-sketch just for fun!:shocked:
 
I'm just curious how you'd actually know if someone used old footage and hacked it together for a trailer. I mean, you can hope for the honor system, just wondering. It seems kind of tough to know.

The required element (in this case, a fish) is designed to prevent using old footage, but the honor system is unquestionably in place. That's okay; I've found that the dvxuser membership, with very rare exceptions, play fair.

..yeah, as mentioned the required element is there to force people to have at least one new shot in there somewhere, and it would be obvious if it stood out from the rest. also if the old footage is any decent or worth using its likely been shown or used somewhere where people are likely to recognize it and call you on it, or it could even show its age through what you see. IE everyone is in 80's clothing.. even people in background and all cars are from 80s... would be an obvious clue to start a line of questioning there. but really, its not any different than any other festival here. you cant reuse old material. of course somone could manage to slide some in there somewhere without anyone knowing if they really wanted to be a cheating douchbag (..what ..i dont like cheaters :banned: ), but generally speaking its just a dumb idea to do so in the first place. you have a good chance of being caught and earning yourself a suitable reputation, and your not really honing your craft or learning anything by using something old to begin with. and most people who are really growing would rather eat poop than show anybody something thats old anyway because they are so far beyond it now. but yes in the end ..its all scouts honor.
