Apple has announced another Insomnia Film Festival for high school and college students.
From the Apple website:
On Saturday, October 13 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern time), we’ll post a top-secret list of elements — special props, dialogue, settings — you get the idea. Choose any three to include in your movie. Then all you and your team have to do is write, cast, shoot, edit, score, and upload your 3-minute masterpiece within 24 hours. No problem, right?
Once the films are in, your friends, family, and adoring fans will be able to watch them online and rate their favorites. The 25 entries with the highest rating on November 9 at 12:00 a.m. EST will be screened by industry professionals, including Barry Sonnenfeld, James Mangold, and Nora Ephron.
If your film is the biggest hit with either the public or the pros, each member of your team will receive a MacBook Pro, Final Cut Studio 2, Logic Studio, and Shake so you can get started on that first sequel. How’s that for a Hollywood ending?
Register your teams (5 people) here. The contest is open to all student videomakers and filmmakers in the U.S. attending an accredited high school, college, or university. Too bad it’s not global!
I got this from Tim Stahmer at AssortedStuff, by way of Jim at TipLine, who got a tip from Sue Sheffer. The blogosphere is sometimes like a more accurate game of telephone…
