Just a quick post today guys, and a final reminder that the due date for your vignettes is fast approaching!
Hopefully you’ve been busy working on your scenes over the past month, but if you haven’t you’ve still got up until December 14th to finish them and get them to me so they can be shown at KINO #32.
Another reminder is the format that your films will need to be sent in; the specs again are:
Length: 1-2 minutes (3 if you’re feeling keen)
Compression: H.264
Dimensions: PAL 720×576 4:3
Deinterlaced Source Video
Sound at 44.100 kHz, 16-Bit Stereo
I think the best way to send me your finished films (like I discussed in the last post) would be:
- first, email me at dermotmcguire[at]gmail[dot]com
- if your final .mov file is less than 100MB then you should send it to me via YouSendIt. It’s a very straightforward service to use and it’s free to send if the file is less than 100MB.
- if your final .mov is more than 100MB I can then add you to a private folder on my DropBox account. It’s a little more fiddly than the YouSendIt method, but it’s free to upload much bigger files this way.
Finally, here again is the list of all the vignettes that I’m expecting to get in the next few days:
“Unreliable Narrator”
“Unreliable Reader”
“God Did it”
“Vampires Repel Daylight”
“It was a Dream”
“It wasn’t a Dream”
“Toy Actually Magic Wand”
“Wand Actually Handgun”
“Conspiracy Actually Kinda Boring”
“Stolen Identity Not Worth It”
“Autistic Boy Grants Wishes”
“Government is in on it”
“Government is Actually Autistic Boy”
“Dark Lord Reasonable”
If I’ve missed the one you’re doing, or you want to nominate a different vignette (remember Aaron Diaz’s original artwork is here) then let me know as soon as possible.
Have fun guys, and best of luck getting your films finished!
so i assume that we don’t need to put the kino screen at the end?
Only if you want to screen it as a Kino film (which I’m totally happy with). If you send me the file afterwards I can simply crop the Kino logo from the end, it’s not a problem.
i guess i don’t quite understand what you’re going to do. are you putting them all together somehow? are you screening it at kino?
They will all be put together once they’re all finished, yes, but I wanted to screen some individually at Kino in the meantime in order to give people a bit of an introduction to the project and to hopefully gain more participants that way.
If people screen there’s individually at Kino (as a Kino film, in other words) then that’s cool too, and if you want it to be part of the final project then you can pass it on to me in your own time.
[...] last time I wrote was to remind (read: harangue) everybody participating in the project that the deadline was drawing [...]
