Gone in 60 Seconds (in 60 seconds)

60 second version of Gone in 60 Seconds for 2011 953 Virgin Radio Fake Film Festival. Directed/Produced/Edited by Adam Tran & Alex Knowles. Everyone likes car chases in movies and we've always wanted to do up our own car chase scene and this was a perfect first opportunity to allow us to cut our teeth. It was very heartbreaking to cut a lot of scenes out in order to make our 60 second version to stay under 60 seconds. We will have an extended uncut version available for viewing on or before Feb.

Pretty Woman in 60 Seconds

Posted By Virgin 9 5 3 On 1/17/2011 8:46:23 PM

Pretty Woman

Directed & edited by Ryan Steele; Script supervisor - Jeff Lynch; Starring Amy Goodmurphy, Jeff Lynch & Special appearances by Ryan Steele. We felt that Pretty Woman had so many classic quotable moments that all our friends were able to quote it off by heart, so it was a no-brainer to re-create this film. Our group of friends loves filming youtube-style videos, and when we heard about this contest, it was a match made in cyberspace. We worked very hard, and we know you’ll enjoy it!

The Matrix in 60 Seconds

Posted By Nancy On 1/17/2011 8:43:00 PM

The Matrix in 60 Seconds

Produced by: Nancy Lamprecht Directed by: Kevin Lamprecht Starring: Kevin Lamprecht, Josh Tubajon, and Dustin Hughes. The inspiration for this film was our love of sci-fi and reality bending ideas, and my current English class. In it we are studying the concepts of reality, and how you know if something is real, and we are using the Matrix as a reference media. Enjoy!

Fake Film Festival FAQs

 
Q What is the deadline for my Fake Film Submission?
A The deadline is NOON, Pacific Time, on January 25th. After which time no further films will be accepted in order to ensure that late submissions get a fair rating, the rating mechanism will remain in effect until 5pm PST, January 25th.

Q Does the whole film have to fit inside the :60 seconds?
A Yes, credits and all. If it's over :60 it won't be eligible. But because there can be discrepancies with the time coded on our site versus the youtube site (ours seems to add one second), the official time will be the time displayed when the film is viewed on youtube.

Q Are all of the films currently on the website eligible for the $10,000 prize?

A Not exactly. We'll post anything anyone submits, provided it falls within our guidelines of good taste (think family-friendly) … Some of the submissions currently posted do not meet all the criteria for consideration (due to use of copyright footage, length, non-inclusion of Fake Film Fest graphic etc.)

Q Can there be swearing in my movie?
A We request that you bleep out any profanity. Ours is a family friendly website, so we can't have foul language on it.

Q Who are the judges?
A The judges panel will be revealed toward the end of the contest, but the panel is made up of some station staff, plus a handful of local film critics from other media.

Q How will the top films be judged?
A On our website is a voting mechanism for each film. The top 20 films based on this voting mechanism will be "scored" by the judges panel. The score is based on a compilation of three separate scores. First we'll determine whether your film is a) entertaining (ie good) and b) accurate to the original (can we tell what movie this is about?) The third score is about how hard you work to "promote" your film. This will be judged by Virgin Radio's Promotions Director. You could make posters, create a facebook fan page or website... Basically you'll want to drive traffic to our website to get people to vote for you. We just need to see how hard you worked at this.

Q How many movies can I submit?

A Only one per person.

Q Can my kids submit a movie?
A Unfortunately no. They can participate in your film, but the official submitter must be over the age of 19, as the finale is being held in a licensed establishment.

Q Do I have to include the Virgin Radio Fake Film Fest Logo?
A Yes. But feel free to be creative about how you include it. Just make sure it's in there somewhere.
