We've got a month (Halloween is close)

Anyone up for a Halloween mini-fest? I don't know what's happened to the dvx fest turnouts as of late, but I think the tradition here of Halloween-themed fests shouldn't die quite yet!

Personally, I think prizes are great, but the fun of finishing a short film and having a little geek fest on this site is the real incentive. The days of impressive grand prizes are long gone, but that doesn't mean participating just to cross a finish line or to place in the top 3 via peer voting isn't worth it anymore.

I don't have much of a clue on how to organize something like this, but it seems like there are enough smart people around these parts that it can get done.

I think this is a great idea Elton! i would be up for making a short horror film fast and easy. we don't need 4 months and we don't need prizes, we just need a mod to upload our entries and tally the votes and declare the winners, like last year's x-mas fest.

Anyone else interested in making horror shorts for Halloween?
 
Maybe it's redundant, but my hat is definitely in the ring. Like the sound of "Full Moon Fest", Matt. We got roughly one phase to make it happen.
 
If I have time, I'm definitely down!

There's a local (to me) festival called "Full Moon Film Festival," actually. I don't see any harm in using the same name on a 'forum' fest, however.

Edit: Upon a Google search, I have found that there are two local "Full Moon" festivals. Ha!
 
Well I got a team ready to shoot this weekend. So someone put up some quick and easy rules.
 
It's amazing how fast things have changed in the last three years. The interweb is flooded with terrible films and want to be Dp's. seems anyone that owns a dslr is a dp these days. I honestly think people have lost interest in watching films as they did just a few years ago, and the reason I say this is because people have short attention spans these days, people are tired of watching crap. So when new unproven filmmakers post vids, people don't even bother clicking on the link just because chances are it will suck. Thats not so much the case with this site, but I have noticed a huge decline in people giving feedback or even watching films around here compared to a few years ago. I'm sorry to rant, or take your thread off topic, but it is kind of sad to watch this transformation.

I think its a great idea, I can try to get something together.

maybe with the short amount of time, limit the film length to three minutes or something like that. and apply a no zombie rule:) Zombie films are a bit tired now.:Drogar-KnockedOut(D

I friggen love it sniper, have you seen the Lionsgate "cabin in the woods contest" might be worth looking into as another contest to enter your film. Also, are you shooting the Canon you got from me a few years back, or have you changed to Pani? Just curious. I have accidentally stumbled upon some great lenses you might like. PM me if your interested.
 
Hey man! Still shooting with the T2i and loving it! Got a few camera ops who are offering up their arsenal (one owns a 60D, another owns a 5D) but I've really come to love that T2i.

Regarding the Cabin in the Woods contest - I saw that on Vimeo and will definitely enter the film when all's said and done. Hope you're doing well. Are the lenses you're referring to for the Canon or the Pani?

I got the lenses for the Pani, but I did notice some of them in Nikon, which should work well for the canon, their all legacy glass, and some excellent, excellent sharpness, and functionality. I will fire you off a PM this weekend with more info.

I'm working on something for a local Halloween type festival at the end of the month. I could always throw it in here if it suits.
It's not finished yet but here's the teaser for it.
