It has come to light recently of a competition that is being hosted by clothing company YMC (You Must Create) and Complete16, the 16mm processing and development company. The competition is pretty simple, you are to create a 5 minute short film of your choice that features two outfits from next seasons YMC clothing range (both male and female). It's the benefits of entering the competition however that interests me the most. Below is the full outline of the competition;
Now as I have mentioned in previous blog posts, I am interested in shooting on 16mm or Super 16mm film. If my application were to be successful I would have (FOR FREE), a complete 16mm shooting package (minus lenses) as well as 4 rolls of 400ft 16mm film to shoot on. This would help a considerable amount and would cut down my initial crowd sourcing funding limit giving me a larger chance of acquiring a budget via donations.
However, I'm not entirely sure of the legality and copyright information as of yet. If I were to submit a film (and be aware it can only be a total of 5 minutes), would I own the rights to the film once it's finished? My script runs at around 10 to 15 minutes as a rough estimate so this would mean I would still have to acquire a number of extra 16mm film rolls in order to shoot the whole project for my dissertation. I intend on finding this information out ASAP and will post my findings when I do!
