Movie madness

Finished the 24 hour video race today at 11:41pm. The goal for the race was to make a 5 minute or less movie that used the stranger as a theme, had a location involving a body of water, had an umbrella for a prop and had the line “We must be nuts!” between midnght Friday and midnight Saturday. I was up with team tapioca till about 5am saturday morning working on a story and then up again at 8am to start shooting it. Thomas finished editing, rendering and printing to tape around 11:20pm and we had it at the finish line 21 minutes later. Out of 90 teams competing 69 finished the race. We had made a movie the weekend before to prep with school as a location and duct tape as the prop. Both of them were a lot of fun. I certainly learned a lot.

One of the many sponsors is Red Bull. You get a plastic card which has information on how to contact their roving Red Bull vehicle. Each team gets one free delivery of however much Red Bull you need. We got ours around 3pm. I can only imagine what a society would be like if you had free energy on demand like this all the time. Listening: (none) Feeling: tired
