Model not included?!?!?!?! Darn. I know one villain (Rody) trying to ruin Christmas.
-
She's the villain! She wouldn't agree to go on a date with the winner
I tried guys!
-
And, just then, Keegan had an idea. An awful idea. Keegan had a wonderful awful idea.
-
I'm intrigued!
-
So am I! I feel that there should be a 'mwha ha ha' audio clip inserted here.
-
*LIKE*
@RodyPolis- lol- a date with the winner would've been great!
@Keegan- Kirstie's right- you need an evil laugh there.
-
Was thinking about making a 'Tis The Season 'one-off' little short next month for fun. Maybe we'll include these requirements in it just for kicks, too.
-
I know exactly what my story would be... Now to try for the actors...

QUESTION! So it looks like our entry will be riding right on the 2:59 mark as well. Would you be opposed to me uploading two versions? One for the contest and one with credits/annotations, etc?
I am SO EXCITED for this. We're in the final stages of color grading right now! -
Looking forward to seeing these entries!
-
Well, the bad news is, I shan't be able to finish (shoot) my entry. I might get to (eventually) do the animatic. But I don't know if that will be all royalty free.... Hmmm.....
The good news is, I picked up December work. You freelancers and self-employed get it. :-)
-
Yes, you can upload 2 versions on your channel. As long as the one you submit to the contest is under the 2:59 mark. Looking forward to seeing your entry!
Here's a playlist of the entries so far:
-
Wahoo! It's submitted!
I'll do a release with the credits on my channel this Friday! We shot it last Sunday and worked on it non-stop until around 3 hours ago. I'm super happy with the final product, so Im glad it paid off! -
Pretty cool video, man! Did you use HitFilm or AE for the effects?
-
A lot of AE and a bit of Hitfilm. The problem is, I'm still using Hitfilm Ultimate instead of Hitfilm 2, so I have to do a lot in After Effects. Hitfilm is the little ninja I deploy to do uber-fast compositing!
I also used 3Ds Max and Phoenix FD do do some of the explosions! -
So I edited a montage for our favorite entries this year. Check it out!
Congrats to Keegan and Andrew for making the cut! The winners will be announced on our website in a few hours.
