Open Studio Brief
Selected film prizes: 1 x £1500
In this brief we are looking for our favourite five finished looped sequences, the winners will receive cash prizes according to those listed in the sidebar.
It could be a cat on a fence judging a jump to the ground, or someone holding a water balloon behind a building as if waiting for someone to walk round the corner, or someone on a bike pedalling like mad to a jump but never actually reaching it. Whatever idea you film it needs to keep us in suspense!
Here is an example of the sort of thing we’re after:http://i.imgur.com/1q32kus.gifv
The actual content itself need only be a few seconds long (but can be as long as you wish) that will keep the viewer in a state of anticipation, but it needs to loop seamlessly so it feels like a continuous sequence that might last one, five, ten minutes, or longer.
It could be a single shot that, once looped, feels like it goes on forever. Or you could create a short sequence, with just a couple of edits that look like we cut back and forth to deliver that feeling of suspense. But please note, we aren’t looking for over-stylised films and wouldn’t expect you to spend too much time or money creating these so the idea and execution are much more important than the look and tone.
Your idea can be filmed on any device, eg on your phone, a camcorder or camera, the more authentic, the better.
Remember, the finished film or sequence needs to be loopable so it looks like a continuous sequence.
The deadline for submitting your clips/sequences is 23:59 GMT on Monday 12th June 2017.
Once done, upload your finished file via the submission page on the platform here: https://www.flare.studio/projects/snickers-unskippable/
