Our submission to the 48 hour Film Festival

How the 48 hour film festival works:

At 7pm on Friday, June 18th we met with 72 other teams and drew the following genre: HORROR

Then we were given the following 3 things we had to incorporate into our film:

  • prop: PLATE
  • character: CONSULTANT
  • line of dialogue: “You’re not going to believe what happened”

We (Team Chinese Takeout) had 48 hours to produce at least a 4 minute long film and this is what we came up with. We’re pretty freaking proud of ourselves considering none of us had any previous animation experience.

But the point isn’t so much that we did something different… I think our winning moment is knowing that we had the most fun making our film out of everybody there.

E3 was amazing

Seriously, seriously amazing. I will write about it in two days, exactly. Late? Shut up. I know.

Cheers,
Winnie

This life is so interesting

Yes, I am actually quoting Britney Murphy when I say that.

The 24 hour film festival was a huge success for us. (:  We won the Audience Award, first runner up for best film, best original score, and I won best actress with zero previous camera experience. Yeah!  That’s coming from somebody who can’t even take pictures without looking awkward! (really!)

I was so pleased that I decided to join the Chinese Takeout team in the 48 hour film project this weekend. In just two days, we made a 4 minute long masterpiece.  Come check us out at the Lumiere Theatre on Tuesday June 29th at 9:30pm to see what I’m talking about. ;p

Here’s your official invite.

‘Round Midnight demo

I’ve always been very reluctant to put up anything I do — I’m a very, very self-conscious person.  Here’s you go though: one of my first recordings! Yes, there’s a bit I can work on. And no, I’m not saying this because I’m being hard on myself. The toughest part of recording right now is actually getting over stage fright and I’m not even on the god damn stage.

Man, I am such a wuss. D:
