For first timers the 48SECONDS allows you to have a good practice making sure your camera-computer-export pipeline is all working well. Without the added stress of a countdown clock.

48SECONDS

I'm not judging the 48SECONDS this year but I would love to see someone do a scene from the THE HAPPENING.
Basically the youtube scene or the hissy fit scene or the kids on the porch scene would make me very happy.

Oh god yes. I guess I better get my a into g before someone else does this.

Are you eyein' my V?

... too easy.

Wait, so I can enter as many different scenes as I want?

And also, winner gets to use the V Monster Truck. Do you have to be in a certain town to be able to use that?

yes as many as you like.
you get to use the V Tower they use at BDO.
For the ultimate in crane shots...

My team is planning on doing THE HAPPENING...we're gonna try and ape the most self-indulgent scene in the film. If that fails, we have a few ideas of other scenes to do.

That's right...we're bringing teh Wahlberg in ways you just can't fully understand.

My scene is blocked, I'm shooting and uploading tomorrow. I just need some sunlight gah..

Oh, well I was sufficiently confounded. Still, a year's supply of V should last me a month or so... *hops to it*

"Try The V" (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) = awesome!

Thanks!

love the marky mark accent and perf !! good stuff Dave.

So I would be wasting my time doing 'Vanos - the cans of fate'?

thanks Ant

TBALC presents: "Booguarana Nights".

(Yeah, we decided to go for a different kind of Marky Mark.)

Andrew - thats a contender for sure. Loved it. And amazing that no one had thought of it last year.

[was his head really cropped in that final shot in BN?]

Cheers Ant - we were also surprised (and really happy) that nobody had thought of it before.

And yeah, his head was really cropped. I guess because there's not enough room onscreen for both Marky Mark's ego AND a 13-inch cock.

nice work

is the swearing ok for the competition though?

That was great!

I think (hope!) if we're reading it right, the swearing may just rule it out of being on TV.

The CAB guidelines have some weird stuff though..."ass" is OK, but "arse" is unacceptable?

if you just did a bleep or muted the f-word i reckon it'd still be a serious contender

Ours is on youtube, but I'm not 100% happy with it so I might see if I can pressure the editor into changing it. Then I'll put the link up.

[edit] Link is here. Issues are fixed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL8KHyFN6QI

Full Metal V

Pure brilliance.
"what in the name of William H Macy!"
This is going to be hard to top.


[NB: I have no sway in Judging this year]

Yep, best so far. Great stuff guys

Full Metal V = awesome! Brilliant stuff.

Meanwhile, here's TBALC's "The Legend of BigV".

Click for faded slow-zooms and monotone voiceover

Thanks for the comments guy. It was tricky trying to cut it down to 48 seconds without blowing the pacing. We're going to try and get three more entries up before competition closes

this is sweet too. i was thinking of doing something like glowing red cans in the distance but too late now

Anyon who has seen IVAN MARX's LEGEND OF BIGFOOT film knows that TBALC nailed it. Unfortunately the chances of the judges knowing wha the hell it is are slim to none. A winner for trash fans though.

Full Metal V... that was so cool!

Massive Props to Sergey for the Grudge!

Nailed it bro. Glad you're on my team. Still a couple of days away from completing my masterpiece though.

I declare 2009 the year of Team Super-Best-Friends.

What the...? Has Full Metal V been taken down? Why?

Disregard that that, I just found out why. I'll put it back up tonight

What was the problem? A team mate of mine posted a film and it's seems to have removed itself too.

Cheers

Apparently some went up without the T&C box ticked.
So they need to tick box when linking again.
An agency are in charge of the site.. I just had the idea so don't shoot the messenger ; )
I'm sure all will be aok very soon... remember to tick T&C box.

Yeah that's what was wrong with mine. It's beyond me why the site would even let you upload it with the all-important box left unchecked

Legend of BigV had the same problem...the interface on the website wouldn't actually ALLOW me to tick the frickin' box! I could click it all I wanted, but it wouldn't do anything. Tried multiple browsers, no luck.

Apparently they're sorting it at their end.

we has some t&c box issues, but we could do it on a PC rather than a Mac. Fun warm-up though

The Exorcist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZfqyXT4ZLk

Oh no, my issues were because of a line of footage which I thought was awesome but the editor thought made him sound like a halfwit... or something like that. *shrugs*

Big thumbs up to Team Zombiecopter for SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT PART 2

Hey Guys,

Here's mine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Po3QPS2Vo

What do you think?

Awesome - very impressively realised.

I think the judges have a tough decision to make!

Kubrick v Kubrick v Dirk...nar IT'S GARBAGE DAY!

ps very cool sideshowstu

Hey, so do they pick the winner based on viewer numbers or youtube ratings or what? Because we're still trying to get our other entry frantically edited *calls the editor to check the editing is actually frantically* but we would have less pageviews than the ones that'd been uploaded earlier.

pageviews and youtube ratings have no influence on the decision. not sure if david farrier even comes on this forum (i'm guessing he does) but doubt robyn malcolm does; they are judging it this year rather than ant

Hey, just noticed team sparkles 2008 V48sec video didn't make it into the best of 2008 on the V site - we got a runner up prize

Basic Instinct - The Veaver Scene

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8O3Y_G7fQU

Our runner-up prize winner - Casino Voyale - is also missing I did email them (my ego got the better of me!) but didn't hear back.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip-UHwEVh8A

I liked your Casino Voyale, maybe the vids push the limits of good taste for V. haha - they are always looking at the future generation, rather than the present one, in terms of marketing and brand placement. They've gotta get those tweens drinking V, get em young!

Says it closes at midnight on the 6th. Is that tonight midnight? Or tomorrow midnight?

EDIT: Should have read T&C "The promotion runs from 00:00 on Wednesday 8th April 2009 to 23:59 on Wednesday 6th May 2009."
