Round 3 “Minik In charge”
25th/26th July 2009
What is it?
In one weekend you task is to make a short movie. We provide some random lines props and locations. You provide everything else. You are given the “sheet” Friday night. you then have about 48 hours to present your film for general viewing on Sunday night. Unlike other Newcastle based Film Festivals, Trout-Slap Film festivals are fully digital. All final product movies are to be submitted on DVD or USB memory stick and be in a common movie file format (mpg, Divx, AVI ect). This will allow those inclined to do some fancy digital special effects. Previously entrant’s film’s were stored on this website but it was far too slow. Now films are stored on youtube for speed and accessibility. In turn this means we have to loosely abide by youtubes content policy. Basically: No Nudity! If you don’t want your film to be put on youtube for what ever reason… you can have all the nudity you want!
The Only restriction on story is that it cant be purely based of another team like a ‘the making of franks teams movie’ cause that is just lame face.
If you are entering from somewhere aboard its preferable that you have internet access and know you way around FTPing as to submit your film for the general viewing on Sunday night.
We are taking Entrants now, if you are interested get a team together and send an email to ITSFF@trout-slap.com so on Friday the 24th of July we can send you the sheet.
Confirmed Teams:
GJMS
The Joel Group

Just wondering, for those of us not in Newcastle, it says the movies have to be submitted via USB or DVD, but by what date? When are you screening them? Last year I had problems submitting it.

If you are not experienced with FTP we can provide assistance over the phone or IM. When u are walked though it its quite easy.
Could you also upload to Youtube and provide the clip’s address?
mmm thats a really good idea i didnt think of that. yea thats prolly the best way to do it.
I’ll just collect my cheque and be on my way……
