Spencer: How can I
participate in the Hong Kong 48 Hour Film Project?
Ivy: Simple! You can either, as a team leader, register
your team at www.48hourfilm.com/hongkong. Just click on the link: “Register for Hong
Kong now!” Fill in your details and
submit, then wait for a confirmation email from me. OR scroll down on the home page and click on
the “Join a Hong Kong team” link and submit your individual details there. Already-registered team leaders will be able
to see your details, and can contact you directly to bring you on board.
Spencer: Do I need to
have my entire team confirmed before I register?
Ivy: You don’t have
to have a fully-stocked team to register as a team – in fact, that’s what we’re
here for. Just drop me a line (hongkong@48hourfilm.com) and I will
suggest some people to fill any missing roles on your team.
Spencer: Is there a
limit to the number of people I can have on my team?
Ivy: No. Its unlimited, and you can even have people
come and go during the filmmaking weekend, to fulfill different roles, carry
lights, act etc. You just need a very
organized team leader!
Spencer: Awesome,
more people for the wrap party then.
Ivy: Yup, and the W
Hong Kong is taking good care of us there.
After our screening on October 23, we’re all heading down to the W for a
kick-ass wrap party.
Spencer: That’s an
amazing venue!
Ivy: You know it.
Spencer: So when
exactly does this all go down?
Ivy: The filmmaking
weekend is October 15-17. Someone from
the team needs to show up to our Kick Off at Yumla on Friday by 7PM to pick
their genre out of a hat, and get the elements (prop, character, line of
dialogue), and then they’re off and running.
All completed films need to be handed in to us at Yumla by 7PM sharp on
Sunday, or else they’re disqualified.
Spencer: That sounds
bad.
Ivy: It can be disappointing,
but we will still show their film at the screening. It just means they wont be eligible for
awards. The important thing is to start
rendering early!
Spencer: What is the
length of time for a film?
Ivy: 4 to 7 minutes.
Spencer: And what’s
the format?
Ivy: DV. And all these details will be clarified with
the team leaders before the Kick Off.
Spencer: Where is the
screening?
Ivy: We are screening
on October 23, at the Grand Cinema at Elements Mall. We’ll have a Q&A with some of our filmmakers
following each screening. You’ll want to
get your tickets early this year as we completely sold out and then some last
year!
Spencer: How do I get
tickets?
Ivy: That info is
coming soon.
Spencer: Am I asking
too many questions?
Ivy: No you’re fine!
Spencer: Ok so what
do I have to prepare before the Kick Off?
Ivy: We recommend
minimal preparation in terms of writing your story, as we have a wide range of
genres you could end up with. However,
we know some people come in with loose outlines and some actors already on
board. Either way, you will be at your
most creative in those 48 hours, with limited time and resources to tell a
story. You will have to prepare your
filmmaking equipment beforehand of course.
And we have arranged for a discount with a local rental house, which we
will be passing on to the team leaders.
And the team leaders will have to do some paperwork before Kick Off.
Spencer: How exactly
am I going to make an entire film in 48 hours?
Ivy: Lots of coffee,
for starters. One of our sponsors can
help you out there. The Flying Pan is
open 24 hours and you can bring your team there for writing, breaks, and to get
your caffeine fix. The more anal your
team leader, the better. Teams that have
someone keeping them on track fare better overall. It’s doable, this is the biggest filmmaking
competition in the world after all.
<awkward silence>
Ivy: So does that
cover everything for you?
Spencer: For now, I
cant think of anything else. But if I
do…
Ivy: …just drop me a
line: hongkong@48hourfilm.com.
Spencer: Cool! Im looking forward to another crazy weekend
of filmmaking this year.
Ivy: Yeah its going
to be crazy, intense and one of the most fun things you can do in 48
hours! I just hope you don’t end up in
another tiger suit.
Spencer: You mean the
one I’m wearing now?
<awkward silence>
