what next? sleep for most people, then after that, more guns! more films! I’ll be writing up a longer, slightly more flowing piece on the film, and how it all went. We’ll see about getting some comments from other team members also. Finally I’m going to round up links to some of the other submissions, will post them here.

Monday 1255 hrs

ah go on then.. http://vimeo.com/21916501 enjoy!

Monday 1216 hrs

As for the video link, not sure yet when we’ll be posting it publicly (it could be a week or so, it could be sooner). This is due to a courtesy request from Sci Fi London, who run the competition. The rules don’t require that we keep the finished film private, so a decision on this will be made by the team soon.

Monday 1210 hrs

It’s done! Final cut just inside of five minutes, film submitted electronically and DVD mailed in per the submission guidelines. Massive thanks from the whole team to our editing heroes, Ross and Rob, and to Josh, who came back after a mere few hours of sleep to work even more FX magic.

I realise I mistyped the brief earlier. Prop is actually “a spiral bound notebook with 3 words written on it, starting with A, R, T, then a 4th word should be added to the list on camera, starting with N”. Somewhat specific, no?
