The Singapore 48 Hour Film Project
What Happened During Your Weekend?
The Singapore filmmakers share stories from their wild weekend of filmmaking. (Blogging ended shortly after the filmmaking weekend.)
Judging
Hi All,
I wanted to clear up some of the judging rules.
The teams who submitted late can still win the audience choice awards. You- the audience – will be voting on your top choices for films tomorrow night. (An added benefit to having your friends and family attend the screening!)
The judges will be voting for the overall “Best Of” Singapore as well as best editing, sound design, and best director. These awards are only for “On Time Films”.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night!

Audience Choice Awards...
... is the only award you (and us) can stand to win, since we were late. I'm not sure what the main prize is. A trophy? I think.

Just curious...
Hey what will happen to those entries that didn't make it on time? Will they get to win anything? If i remember correctly, during the kick off Mike mentioned that late entries will not qualify for the judging but will still win other awards right??
Anyways.. what's the prize for the winning team?
Anyone know?

Cold Sweat
The worst can happen just when you least need it.
Shoot of the car scene stretched to 2+ hrs when it got stuck in a jam due to the accident at Adams.
The brand new light bulb blew just when you're ready to shoot your last scene.
Upon final transfer, suddenly the audio decided to go missing.
You took the wrong turn on the way for submission, and that was the final turn to location. Darn!
Nonetheless, we made it. Thank you teammates for the sleepless nights, passion and patience! It was all for pure fun.

Like woah
We submitted late but oh well. We wanted to give our best to be screened instead.
Prepare for major effects to be seen in our short film! Heh, heh. When we got sci-fi...This is definitely gonna be sci-fi.
Our rendering time for our effects were the most time consuming of them all and auugh, thank goodness for McD's delivery. I have never eaten so much McD's until that weekend.
Furthermore, we had issues regarding harddisks and scares when nearly completing the whole thing to be exported.
Overall, it was fun making the short film with the team and everyone of us is definitely wanting to watch it on the big screens.

Save the best for last!
Don't know if we're proud to say this but.. for what the organizers said. we were the last team to send our entry at 11.55pm!! haha..
Well.. at least we've made it! Woohoo!
All in all, we had fun making our short film. We believe that we have a very good story with the elements that was given. Well, can't wait to see the rest of the film-makers' entries. But of course, always save the best for last!!

Now the sleeping starts...
I want to say thank you to all of the teams that tirelessly worked over the weekend creating their shorts. We can't wait to watch them with all of you on May 6th. Please tell your friends and family about the event so everyone can see what you have done.
Please write your stories and your accounts of the weekend as we would all like to come together learning from one another through your experiences.
Thank you again for giving the 48 HFP Singapore an excellent inaugural kick-off.
