About The Shoot Out 24 Hour Filmmaking Festival Boulder

PROCESS IS SIMPLE!

Each film can be no longer than 7 minutes in length (including credits) and must be edited in-camera and returned to the event organizers no later than 24 hours after the start of the event. All films must include 5 of the eleven items announced at the start of the event in “The Brief.” All films are judged to come up with the Top 10 Films for the Gala Screening Event. Go About The Shoot Out Boulder to learn more!

EDITING IN CAMERA: What It Means

Films must be shot in sequence, i.e. produced in a linear fashion (NO EDITING). This means that teams may rewind tape, preview and tape over what was last shot. Teams may not edit i.e. you can not use an editing suite, any method that views it through a monitor or by connecting several cameras or VTRs together or use of a computer or any other technology other than one camera used to shoot the video/film. This also means you can not use camera's internal memory sticks nor can you reorder your scenes using any memory or DVDR functions that the camera may have. You may only record onto tape i.e. MiniDV, even if the camera has an internal hard drive.

Join us again for The Shoot Out 24 Hour Filmmaking Festival Cheyenne on October 15-17, 2010.
