This year, Vidzu Media and it’s second-year team – “Green Eggs & Cams” – once again embarked on the seemingly-impossible task of creating a short film in a mere 48 hours.

That’s right, start to finish / wall to wall / script to screen / and any other catchphrase you can think of. We had a lot of work to do, and in the case of the 48 Hour Film Project – St. Louis, we had very little time to do it.

If you’re reading this post, you’re probably familiar with the way 48 Hour Film Projects work, but here’s a quick recap:

You receive your assignment at approximately 7p on Friday night and 48 hours later at approximately 7p on Sunday night you must turn in the finished product.

Every team gets a handful of “assignments” and they are random from year to year. This year the required elements were:

• Character: Tyler or Tina Terrello, flooring specialist
• Prop: cheese grater
• Line: “She’s the only one who can answer that.”

And what might be the most important assignment – your GENRE. Every team gets to draw their own random genre and this year our team ventured into uncharted territory with SCI-FI.

Here’s a brief rundown of how OUR 48 hours went:

• Friday night, 7p – midnight(ish) – BRAINSTORM
• Midnight(ish) – morning(ish) – WRITE
• Saturday morning, 7a – Saturday night, 9p – SHOOT
• Also Saturday, 12p – Saturday night(ish) – BEGIN EDIT
• Late Saturday night – Sunday morning – EDIT, EDIT, EDIT
• Sunday morning, 10a – 6p – EDIT, VFX, EDIT, SOUND DESIGN, EDIT
• Sunday, 5p – 6:51p – PAPERWORK, RENDER, RENDER, DRIVE, DROPOFF

Here’s a behind-the-scenes view of the process, shot and edited by Vidzu’s 2017 summer intern, Daniel von Seckendorff…[/az_column_text][az_divider divider_number_text=”” divider_color=”#000000″][az_video_player video_player_type=”others_video_mode” link_video_others=”https://vimeo.com/224379433″][az_divider divider_number_text=”” divider_color=”#000000″][az_column_text]And if you’re interested even further, check out this podcast from late Friday night when Curt Copeland and NewsRadio 1120 KMOX invited us up to chat about the project…
