A3F 72-Hour Challenge: Fallen Blue
October 13th, 2008
October 10th, at about 7 o’clock, A3F, or the Almost Famous Film Festival, kicked off their 2008 72-hour film challenge. The theme was super powers / special abilities, the prop was an envelope, and the line was “I don’t know what’s real anymore”. You can check out an online copy of the DVD that Got Film? Productions (my team) submitted, titled “Fallen Blue”, at http://www.fallenblue.mikewach.com/
Got Film? Productions is a “company” that a number of my friends from Collins College just recently started. So far, I’ve helped them by photo documenting all of the Fallen Blue shoots, authoring their DVDs, and handling any other graphics or design related tasks. I’m not exactly a requirement for Got Films, as they are obviously focused on film, however I still help by making sure that anything they release looks professional. I’ve also helped with computer tech support. For example, on the third day of shooting, two massive external SATA drives crashed, which included all of their footage. After a few hours of tinkering, I was the only one who managed to completely recover both drives and create backups of any important data. Besides all of that, I also maintain all of their web-related stuff. Both the Fallen Blue DVD and photos are currently hosted on my server, and I’m currently handling all of the future Got Film web development plans.
There are now over 500 photos available in my gallery from before and during the 2008 A3F 72-hour challenge. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments, and let me know if anyone uses my photos for something interesting! Enjoy!
