Submitting Your Film (Mailing + Uploading) :
Important Note! All
participants are required to mail in a hard copy of their film along with the
necessary paperwork. Many shipping businesses close before 11:59PM EST on
Monday, November 24th, so any teams that would like to put in work on their film
up until the last minute, we also have an
upload option for the films. If
you upload the file by the submission deadline in the correct file format and it
works properly, than we will use the uploaded film as the master. If there
is a problem with your uploaded film, than we will use the hard copy of your
film as the master.
Mailing:
Everyone must mail in a hard copy of their film (see
formats below) with the necessary paperwork.
The completed Film must be
mailed to the Submission Address (Paragraph 11 below) by 11:59PM (NYC Time) on
December 1, 2008, and must also bear a postmark no later than 11:59PM EST on
November 24, 2008. All Entries and other materials mailed in packages that
are either: (A) postmarked later than 11:59PM EST on November 24, 2008; or (B)
are not received by the LLC by December 1, 2008; or (C) both; will not be
reviewed and will be ineligible for the Film Racing Grand Prix 2008.
So, make sure to postmark and mail out your movie on or before 11:59PM EST on
November 24, 2008, and make sure it will get to the LLC in NYC on or before

Film
Racing Grand Prix 2008
c/o
NYC Midnight Movie Making Madness, LLC

Uploading:
The only acceptable format for the upload is a
Quicktime DV file. To upload your film and for instructions on how to
create a proper Quicktime DV file, go to
http://www.filmracing.com/GrandPrix/upload.htm
Format of your Film (Mailing) :
The finished film must be
submitted in one or more of the following formats:
-
mini-DV (NTSC)
-
QuickTime DV File
–
uncompressed, supplied on a DVD-ROM (DATA DVD)
-
DVD
– playable in a
standard DVD player
It is highly
recommended to include backups,
in case the film
submitted has issues. So, if you submit on DVD, it is a very good idea to submit
at least 1 backup in a different format (mini-DV or QuickTime DV File burned on
a DVD-ROM).
Each
must be clearly labeled with the following information:
YEAR,
TEAM NAME, TITLE OF FILM, and RUNNING TIME.
No HD please...just a
reminder that the submissions must be in Standard Definition (SD). Films
submitted on High Definition (HD) formats may not be accepted.
Releases & Non-Union Reminder :
A Cast & Crew Participation
Agreement, and all talent, location, artwork and music releases must be
submitted with your film. Releases can be downloaded at
http://www.filmracing.com/GrandPrix/GrandPrix.htm
Please remember that all productions must be
non-union. We can not stream any films that include performances from
union actors, even if they provide union waivers.
Maximum Time Limit :
The finished film must be a
MAXIMUM of five minutes (5:00) in duration (when played at its normal and
viewer-discernible speed, as determined by the LLC in its sole discretion), from
picture start to picture end. The maximum length of credits is thirty
seconds (0:30). Credits are not considered part of 5:00 duration of the
film mentioned above. So, a film can be five minutes long (5:00) with
an additional thirty seconds (0:30) of credits, for a total running time of five
minutes and thirty seconds (5:30).
Credits
:
Please remember to include the
credit "Created in 100 hours for the Film Racing Grand Prix 2008 - www.filmracing.com".
