“48HOURS is officially NZ’s largest film competition! There is nothing quite like it.
It’s a cinematic bootcamp but instead of drill sergeant screaming obscenities at you, it’s the constant tick-tock of the countdown clock drilling into your mushy brain. 48HOURS is a serious challenge for both first time filmmakers through to experienced directors.
Simply put, filmmaking teams have just one weekend to make a short film.
Filmmakers don’t know what genre (thriller/romance etc) they will be shooting until the start of the competition. All creativity: writing, shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack, must occur within the 48 hour window beginning Friday evening at 7pm and ending Sunday at 7pm. To add to the mayhem, they must also include some random elements.” – 48hours Film Intro
Our team is called Ninjia Ginger Productions. We had a crew of 8 awesome people. The final movie has to be under 7mins, and it must be completed from scratch within a very strict time frame of 48 hours; Fri 7pm-Sun 7pm. And yes, we handed in just on time.
Here are some of our production shots for 48 Hours Film 2009.
