Pre-48 Hours Post

Next weekend is 48HOURS 2014! It has really sneaked up on us. Squidwig Productions have a small team and are planning on keepin’ it casual this year. 

These are some handy goals for the weekend anyone else participating might find useful too:


SIX GOALS FOR 48 HOURS 2014

6. AVOID EATING NOTHING BUT CHOCOLATE AND V ALL WEEKEND. CONSUME SOMETHING GREEN OR DIE. 


5. Sleep. At least 5 hours of it encouraged for each team member over the weekend, so you can…

4. Avoid flipping out at the computer no matter how long it takes to render. This is a solemn vow I, Becca Barnes, swear by at this moment. Swallow your rage, Becca. Swallow it good.

3. Write for what you have, not what you want to have. It’s really easy to fall into the trap of overcommitting with 48HOUR films (“Hey I know, let’s enter 2 teams and do TWO interconnected movies!" - us, 2012). We’d rather do a tight 3 minute film than a sloppy 6 minute film. That being said, taking risks and pulling it off is basically like crack on a 48HOURS weekend, so see how you go…

2. Nail the genre, whatever it may be. Our team has never had musical. It could happen. We will make it work. We totally know how to make a comb kazoo. 

1. Fun. Even if it’s ‘climbing around in the mud under a house for 6 hours’ sort of fun, it will be a bloody great time. 48HOURS is about hanging with buddies (and making new ones) just as much as it is about making a movie. That being said, after last year, I am never getting under a house again. There are only so many rat skeletons a girl needs to meet.
