48 Hour Film Project Greensboro (Our First Entry)
This was a blast from the past found on Rod M's myspace page. Imagine if you will the first year the the 48 hour film project was in Greensboro. Our crew only had two people with any film experience at all. Our cast...well...we had one. Fortune smiled on us and we drew Mocumentary. With a little bit of rented equipment we were able to knock this out. Many MANY people have made better films. In fact, as we drew mocumentary we had to work pretty hard to keep the production value low. Imagine actively trying to work a boom shadow into a shot so it would look like an accident and yet still be obvious.
The point is, we had way more fun than should be legal, and even now we can look back at this and get a good and hearty laugh out of it. I sort of miss the days when we did it just for fun and didn't give a wet slap what anyone thought of it. I guess that's what happens when you do something like this and end up successful with it. Yes, it actually won three awards that year. After that we felt like we had to always try to out do ourselves. Pity. Anyway, enjoy.
