So some friends of mine & I made a short film for a 24-hour film competition. So we did this thing in 24 hours.
Sadly I was only involved in the first half. I was on my death-bed (ok not really, I was just pretty darn sick & had to go home before we finished). I'm actually kindof down on myself for not sticking it out & finishing the film.
I play the rock in the first half of the film & was a writer.
Anyway, we won best use of prop (that day's newspaper) & 2nd place overall and the film will go on to the Phoenix Film Festival in April.

It was really interesting to do some found object puppetry. Totally inspired by Kurt Hunter's marionette show featuring a box as the main character. He got so much emotion and had such a sweet story that went along with it. Granted, we didn't necessarily have a sweet story that went along with it, but just getting emotion (or attempting to) out of something without a face, feet, arms, etc. was a neat challenge!
I was heck-bent (aah? see that? censor dodger!) on making a stop-motion animation film in 24 hours. I'm glad I had friends that could pull it off, too.
