Geocaching film festival
« on: May 08, 2013, 07:56:56 am »
From the Geocaching weekly newsletter:
"Geocaching is ripe for one more acronym. Move aside BYOP* and TNLN** —get ready for GIFF. It's the Geocaching International Film Festival. The finest videos from the global geocaching community will be showcased as part of the 2013 Geocaching Block Party in Seattle on August 17.
 
You're invited to submit up to two entries. All entries should be one to five minutes in length. The GIFF final entries will be judged by geocaching organizations around the world. They'll vote on winners in five categories, including Most Instructional, Best Cinematography, Most Inspirational, Most Adventurous and Most Creative/Experimental. Those watching the final videos live in Seattle on August 17 will choose the winner of the Audience Award. Check out the Call for GIFF Submissions video to learn more.
 
Will your video show on the big outdoor screen in front of a projected crowd of more than a thousand geocachers? The answer to that question begins by checking out the Geocaching Block Party website. You'll find rules and information about GIFF. And get ready to use one more acronym… LCA (lights, camera, action!)
 
* Bring Your Own Pen
** Took Nothing, Left Nothing"

Seems interesting. Maybe a re-edit of the Butcher's Bash could become an entry  ;D

A film of a Hippos Bellow adventure could also be a winner  ;D  ;)

That appeals to me :) But I don't think I will take part, unless you want an extra actor Griff Grof? ;D

Non-caching related.. we used to love making little movies. Always really bad. Bad acting. Bad camera work. Bad sound and visuals. But we enjoyed ourselves.

Typical example. One from 6 or 7 years ago...


xJ won't be amused at me post that one ;D

A Hippos video could me fun *nods*. But who would risk their camera?
