3 Entries Submitted by the Deadline for Challenge #2

Even though there were five teams entered, only three films were received by the deadline and are eligible for official judging. But all five entries must be submitted for the academic aspect of the television production class.

We're looking forward to seeing the films!

Film Challenge #1 Winners

After a long and arduous judging process, the results for Film Challenge #1 can be announced. Our thanks to the entrants and the judges for a job well done.

First Place: "A Portion of Grace"

Second Place: "WFRS 5:00 News"

Because the third entry, "Earning Grace," exceeded the specified maximum running time of 5 minutes, the judges disqualified that entry.

As noted earlier, we had to remove one of the entries, "WFRS 5:00 News," from our online player at the request of one of the participants. Be sure to look at the other two entries here.

Film Challenge #1 Judging Tabulation Almost Complete

We've finally received the results from the last of the judges for Commarts Film Challenge #1. (Good thing, too, since Challenge #2 will end soon.)


Our massive computers are calculating the results and we'll be able to announce them soon.

Announcing Film Challenge #2

Hello. It's Easter Monday and I started the day leisurely. Then - Wham! - I had to get to the office and start the day's work. So the details of Challenge #2 are going online an hour late - but you win because the deadline will be adjusted by an hour.

Film Challenge #2 Objective: Create a short digital film running no longer than 10 minutes - including credits - in one (or both combined) of the genres your group chose last week.

Each film must include the following two elements:
1. Prop: Guacamole dip
2. Line of Dialogue: "Sorry I'm late. I was looking for the lost tapes."

Deadline: 10:30 am on Tuesday, April 24. Dr. Coyle's office in Egan Hall.

Format: MiniDV or DVD OK for deadline; but a MiniDV copy is needed by 5:00 pm April 24.

Charge!
