For the dutch christmas 2008 edition of the 48-hour film festival I submitted a DV-rebel entry. I had to make a movie from script to final edit within 48 hours that contained the following:
genre: Detective / copmovie
Character: Maaike Groothart, VIP
Object: snow
Sentence: 'If you leave can I have your chair?'
And a general christmas-feel.
I shot this with help of 3 friends in a few subway stations without any permit. We were sent off 4 or 5 times by security but managed to finish our shots in time. It was shot entirely on an HV20 wihtout any additional lighting and edited/color corrected on FCP. Another friend composed and played the music for it and 4 guys helped with some visual effects, some visible, others unvisible. Finally a guy from the U.S. that I knew (long live the internet) agreed to do a detective style voice over and so we managed to deliver the film within 48 hours and very little sleep.
