For payment you need to get a money order in US dollars.

That is how all films from other countries are sent to the site. (or you can use PayPal)

Oooh gotcha. Makes sense.

I might consider entering as well. I just have one question though.

How many different ways can we interpret "a road"? Can obviously be done physically (either or a real road or a painting like said before). What about metaphorically?

Thanks,
Shunohaku

Metaphorical road is a-ok in my book.

Awesome, I just came up with my idea, it's going to pwn. Now I just gotta make the darn thing.

elliott.

haha. u said pwn.

I'll be entering a film as well. A great idea jsut popped into my head, so I'm gonna start writing...

This all sounded like so much fun before this morning when i went out filming for the competition in 'sunny' England.
However, after two hours travelling and into my second hour filming the heavens opened and my day was ruined.
But hey ... this is where the fun comes from right?
Look forward to seeing how my video compares to you guys, because this is my first short film and a lot of you seem very experienced, but i'm sure i'll learn a lesson or two in the process
by the way, the problem of soundfx ... www.flashkit.com is very useful, although many think of it only for animation, i see no problem with using it in film too.

welcome tinboro! looking forward to your entry!

Yes I can't wait to see everyone's films.

I just developed my idea about 2 hours ago, and I've been writing the script for about an hour. The idea popped into my mind so clearly, that I'm wrinting without stopping or thinking, and I'm almost done with the script.

haha! Thats the way to do it, Mark. Dont stop though for a break or anything, or even THINK, just let it all flow out. Dont contemplate ANYTHING until you're done writing, THEN make necessary changes and additions

hahaha. i hate you all. ive got nothing so far. im really being delicate with this one.

im with you on that, Alex. I got nothing yet either

I had nothing too, but I asked the guy that composed my first film for an idea,he gave me one, and it just came out. Try that, tell someone about the criteria, and let them give you sumthing, then you'll start thinkin up stuff.

Would it be acceptable to make a music video (For a local band -- all original music, of course) as long as it involved a road in some way?

Sure - no problem if it is original music and you have permission from the band.

But I would try to implement some "story" involving a road into it. After all - music videos are practically short films.
