Apple's Insomnia Film Festival 2007

Apple is once again holding their Insomnia Film Festival (which they began last year), and they want you to enter. The idea behind the festival is simple, Apple will post a list of elements you can use in your film, you pick three of them, and then take 24 hours to make a 3 minute movie. If your film is a winner, as picked by Apple's judges or as judged by visitors to Apple's site, each member of your team will receive a MacBook Pro, Final Cut Studio 2, Logic Studio, and Shake.

The fun starts on October 13 at 9:00 a.m. EST.

Update: I failed to mention this is for college and highschool students only.

Some of the young high school students worked very hard and did a great job. Check out the entry "THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER.."

Some of the high school students did a great job, and learned a great deal about production and time management. Check out AJ DeSimones short film "THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER.." It's great!

This competition was a *blast.* So worth the experience...the stories alone have lasted us a week of laughs so far.

If you're a student and even remotely interested in video creation, I'd highly recommend entering. I did something similar to this a few years ago (it was a local event) and we had a blast, learned a lot, and came out of the experience with a short film we were proud of, a gift certificate, a night of glory, and a few hangovers.
