Call for entries for this unique film festival.
According to
Tribeca:
"We're excited about Vine and we want to explore what's possible for the
new app. So we're challenging you to make
#6SecFilms on Vine to be
judged by an illustrious jury."
From their website.
Here's how it works: Vine creators will make as many Vines as they want in any of the following categories: #GENRE, #AUTEUR, #ANIMATE, or #SERIES
(see details below), and our team of jurors will choose their favorites
from a shortlist we share on the site. (More jury details to come, but
we're excited to share that our jury panel already includes actor Adam "The King of Vine" Goldberg and Director Penny Marshall!)
Sounds fun, right? Here's how to enter (you can read the official rules
here):
STEP ONE: MAKE A VINE
A Vine doesn't give you a lot of time. Six seconds to be exact. We're challenging you to use that time to make a film.
Tips: Your short film
must tell story with a beginning, middle, and end. Creating unique
characters, worlds, and plots for your Vine will give you an advantage.
Embracing the Vinely qualities of looping, time manipulation, etc. will
give you even more of one.
STEP TWO: TAG YOUR VINE
Tag your Vine #6SECFILMS
and the hashtag of the category in which you want to enter. Read the
categories below to see where you want to compete. Big note: the same
Vine cannot be submitted to more than one category. Choose one category
that best fits your Vine.
#GENRE
Are you thinking of a making a horror
Vine? A sci-fi Vine? A western Vine? An LOLcat Vine? A comedy Vine? A
funny sci-fi/western/horror Vine with a funny feline? This is the
category for you. Show us how a genre film can best thrive in six
seconds and you'll take home the winning prize.
#AUTEUR
Do you have a six second story or script that's truly unique? A tiny, concentrated expression of your vision? This is your Vine.
#ANIMATE
Are you an animator or thinking Vine
is the perfect medium for some creative stop motion and don't want to
deal with the live-action riffraff? Then we don't need to tell you this
is your category.
#SERIES
Do you have a character or world too
big for six seconds? That's fine. We'll let you make it a trilogy.
Submit three Vines, each one a single episode of a larger story. Use the
Vine's title to identify the episode (1/3, 2/3, 3/3). Each Vine must
must still meet the original requirements (beginning, middle, and end,
etc.). A winning entry will be the one that uses the three Vines to
create a true series, not just tell an 18 second story.
STEP THREE: POST YOUR VINE TO TWITTER
Here’s the deal: If you make our
shortlist we’ll want to share your Vine with the world. Posting it to
Twitter offers the easiest way for us to embed and promote our
shortlisters and recognize your awesome Vines. Not sure how to post your
Vine to twitter? Check out this official list of Twitter's Vine FAQs. Don't forget your hashtags: #6SECFILMS and the category tag of your choice above.
This isn’t a ploy to get more followers, we promise. Following us will give
us the ability to contact you via Direct Message if your Vine is
selected, so it's kind of important. It's also the best way to
keep you updated on the contest. Follow us @TribecaFilmFest.
