48 Hour Film Project, here we go!

I registered a team for the 48 hour film project in Indianapolis. If you don't know what that is, go to their website and check it out. It's a film racing competition. I've always wanted to participate, but the timing was never right until. I've formed a team with 4 ex-classmates that all graduated with me or shortly after. We have more equipment than I thought we could ever come up with, we work well together, and we're good at what we do, so I think we have a good chance at winning some awards. Regardless, it'll be a lot of fun to rekindle that feeling of "OMG HURRY" we all felt when we were in college together, and great to see our film screened on the big screen in a movie theater in front of a sold out audience! Our team name is Pants Cannon Media. The YouTube has a lot of old stuff

We're trying to get permission to shoot on campus since there is a good variety to the different areas and we can make it look like totally different locations without the travel. Otherwise, we're just wrangling some talent and waiting for July 30th to roll around so we can get going.

I really hope we don't draw musical as our genre.

I'll do a post-mortem after that weekend is over. I'm sure there will be plenty to talk about. In the meantime, here are the bios I sent along with our entry:
