Our Debut on the Silver Screen
Last week our church had a little Film Fest. What’s a Film Fest you ask? Well, let me tell you!
- We signed up in teams to make a 3-6 minute film.
- We had two weeks to do it.
These were our parameters:
- We were assigned a genre (the possibilities were action/adventure, comedy, music video, sci-fi, and mockumentary).
- All the teams had to use the same specified prop (this year it was a hula hoop).
- All the teams had to use the same specific line of dialogue somewhere in the film (“It’s like taking a drink from a fire hose.”).
Then, after the deadline, an “academy” of people watches them and decides on winners for awards. There’s an awards ceremony at the church where they show all of the films on the big screen in the sanctuary, with popcorn & pop. People dress in their old prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, suits, and even their wacky costumes.
Everyone walks the red carpet and gets interviewed by the Hoperazzi (our in-house version of paparazzi). It’s a total blast!
We had so much fun doing this, we might be hooked. Though it took a lot of time, it was a really fun thing to do as a family and group of friends!
Working very diligently for two weeks, this is the action/adventure movie our group came up with! (*NOTE: At 2:09 the audio cuts out for a couple seconds and I can’t figure out why.*)
Our team won for “Best Editing” thanks to the amazing Abraham, and for “Most Dramatic Moment.” Can you guess which one?
Hope you enjoyed watching it! We were pretty proud of how it turned out!
Your kids are stinkin’ cute. :)
Oh, man that was HILARIOUS. If that didn’t win ‘Best Picture,’ I can only imagine the other entries.
Funny, for a school project my son researched the job of Movie Director so I thought it’d be cute for his to write and “direct” a little movie of his class which we recorded this past Friday. My editing skills are no where near your husband’s. :(
LOL, anyways loved it!
This is great. Morrow is precious!
VERY cool. Morrow is adorable too!
“licked your fingers and stuck them into the socket of God”
I’m cracking up….too funny.
Loved the escalator pass-off…
I like you people. :)
“Obi-wan has taught you well”
Such a fun idea! VERY creative, cute, and funny!
Super fun idea and sneaky of you to show the undies on the big screen… *giggle*
Loved the kids!!!
Aww, what little stars!
what an entertaining and hilarious way to start my day!! you guys rock!
Love the movie idea for a church project! We’ll have to try that. Super cute star of the film too. =)
this is awesome – loved it!
mine hoop is gone…
I see you have brought the hoop that I demanded…
Amazing. Love it!
Side note – where is your cute coat from??
Can I rent Morrow for a weekend sometime? ;)
Again, loved it! Audio cut out? Using iMovie? I had the same issue when creating the .mov file. I found detaching the audio from the video clip corrected it. May be your issue? Can’t wait ’til we face off again next year! The night was sweet!
Hilarious! So fun!!! Submit it to the Ellen DeGeneres Show…very cute.
totally fun! nice work.
That was absolutely delightful. The kids were PERFECT. Love the addition of the undies!
That was hysterical! Great job!!
