Can You Make a Movie in 2 Days?
I was looking through the paper today and I found an article about a 48 Hour Movie competition. The idea behind the contest is that you have 48 hours to make a movie with a set genre, prop, and character. This sounds like a lot of fun and I wish I could have been apart of it.
The article was written about two local Pittsburghers, Mike Hough and Doug Werner that were in the contest. It’s a pretty entertaining story about them trying to think of a good idea and getting it done in time. I guess they had some trouble along the way, but that is to be expected when you’re trying to rush a movie as fast as you can.
I am going to have to keep my eye open for the next time this contest starts up again. I have a few friends with cameras, that I know can’t wait to use them on a movie project.

Not anything close, but we had to make a play in 4 hours. We wasted like 3 hours and then when everybody thought we’re screwed, we came up with an idea and made it.
That’s a nice idea for a contest anyway. Would like to take part in it.
