I saw an ad for this during the Grammys. The deadline is only a few days away, but I figured some people here might be interested. This is a contest in which you need to make a movie that is no longer than five seconds. The coolest movie wins a Cadillac.

See website for more info. http://www.cadillacunder5.com/

Looks like a pretty cool contest. Some of the movies they had up were pretty funny, it'll be interesting to see what movies win.

What the f--- how do you make a movie in 5 seconds!?!?!?!?!

Act 2: 3 seconds
Act 3: 1 second

Bam, you got yourself a 5 second movie.

lol trespasser you slay me again.

I am so going to try to think of something to enter and end up procrastinating too long.

honestly, i don't understand why movies take 2 hours nowadays. most of them get really boring and don't really need to be that long.

maybe if we forced more people to do 5 second movies, they would learn to appreciate simplicity and brevity.

We are filming our entry for it tomorrow.... itll be posted on the 16th.... So far the entries are real bad, imo.

I would enter, but I'm not 18

Are those the entries though? I couldn't figure out if those are previous winners, current entries (would be weird to show them before end of contest), or just random five second movies they found somewhere.

Those are good questions... it would be weird to put them up early but this is the first time theyve done the contest as far as i know so they cant be past winners and random 5 second clips would also be strange... the intro to that section makes it sound like those are real entries... I guess we'll see (I hope they are cuz as i said they arent that good)

Me too! If thats the competition SF.com is going to sweep the prizes

Maybe most people are waiting until the 16th and 17th to sumbit?

Maybe. I sure am, I have some awesome ideas, but can't get them off the ground fast enough.

I hope the site doesn't die at around 11:45 pm EST - the smithsonian site did when I was trying to enter their photo contest.

Alright so from what ive been told the site hasnt been updated since they first launuched it and all the films on there are just examples done in house. The explains their piss poor quality.

We filmed our 5 second short today, came out realy well. Once my interent stops messing up I'm going to upload it.

Has anyone else sumbited yet? I didnt get an email or anything confirming they got it...

yea i submitted a while back, there are no cinfirmation emails. I actually wrote to the company running it to double check that b/c i thought maybe they didnt get it. But they responded saying that there are no confirmation emails sent. So if the uplaod window said submitted, dont worry its in.

Well according to people on some other websites if you are a finalist you should have already been contacted. I was pretty confident about mine too. Oh well... maybe a small chance that they will call the rest tomorrow but i doubt it... so i guess i can post the link to it now
