Deadline Details - Small Change
The best-laid plans...
I've gotten tied up out of town and won't be back until the Challenge Deadline has passed. But don't despair - Dr. Schaefer has agreed to be at my office to receive the Fabulous Challenge Entries at 5:00.
I'll pick them up this evening and hope to have them posted on the Web tonight. Watch this space for details!
Congratulations to our Challenge Teams.

Set (1)...Teams Announced
Tuesday evening the production teams for the First Film Challenge were announced via a Web video of Dr. Coyle (that's me) drawing names from his new hat. I didn't post the video on a public site such as YouTube because of privacy issues, but sent a link via e-mail to the TV Production II students. There's a new Flash version here if you'd like to view the video.
The team lists were also posted on Facebook as a Note by Jim Coyle (that's me, too).
For those of you not accessing these sources, I'll be posting the Team List later tonight here on the official blog/web site for the Challenge.
The anticipation is mounting with just over 24 hours to go until the Challenge Specifics are announced!

Ready...
Welcome to the Franciscan University Film Challenge. This is the first-ever digital filmmaking competition conducted by the Communication Arts Department from its Global Headquarters in the lower level of Egan Hall.
This first Film Challenge pits three (or four) teams of students in the Television Production 2 class against each other to create the best short film in a specified period of time. We like the model of the Spokane First Night 48 Hour Film Festival but are changing the creation and production period to 5 days since we discovered that the students actually have other classes during the semester.
Last night teams were selected at random and initially announced on video and Facebook.
At 5:00 pm EDT Thursday, March 22, three required elements will be announced: a theme, a prop, and a line of dialogue, all of which much be included in the short films produced for the Challenge.
The completed short films must be submitted on MiniDV videotape no later than 5:00 pm EDT Tuesday, March 27.
That's the background. Watch this space for more exciting news and information!
