As a member of the New York Video School (NYVS) community, a small group of us filmmakers (seven in total, from all over the country) decided to challenge ourselves (or drive ourselves crazy, whatever comes first) in the New Year with monthly film challenges/projects. The first individual film challenge/project had the following rules:
1) The theme of the film must be "addiction."
2) The primary purpose of the film must be "to end a relationship."
3) The film's narrative must be told in the "first-person" by the film's protagonist.
4) The film's protagonist must be "gender-opposite" of the filmmaker - if the filmmaker is male, the protagonist must be female; if the filmmaker is female, the protagonist must be male.
5) Only ten (or less) specific video/photo shots can be used within the film (excluding opening and closing credits); these shots can be used repeatedly.
6) The entire length of the film (including opening and closing credits) cannot be more that six minutes in length.
7) The film must be animated (none of us has worked with animation before).
8) The upload deadline of the film is Sunday, January 26, 2014.
Below is my attempt at following the rules and coming up with something...yikes! :)
