According to a response I received today from Atomfilms, the selection process is STILL ongoing.

They have not contacted all the directors from the selected movies yet.

Dont stop crossing your fingers!!!

Got my email today.... and its a great big NO!

I'm p*ssed off about it actually, as it infringes no copyright, has no bad language, or nudity etc... the only piece of Williams score i used was under the aloted 59 seconds. I followed the instructions to the letter, and bust a gut to get it completed in time for the competition... SO WHY?!

Check it out here... and let me know what you think... (PS : this version does contain some Copyrighted Logos, but the version i submitted to Atom Films had it carefully blurred out.)

Overtime

Even the guys at Blame Society Productions (the guys behind Chad Vader) have seen it, and they liked it too!

Sorry to hear that. I liked Overtime. I still haven't heard anything but I guess it's a no. They would probably send out all the acceptance letters befor they send rejection letters....

I'm sorry to hear that. Overtime was great. I'll be wondering if the ones that got yes were better or if there's just a certain taste that the people judging have.

Wow!! ...loved everything, even if it was your first try at FX, looks great! drooling
Maybe the problem was the running time 9 mins + (doubt it)...I have seen lower films participating (I'm talking about my own... tongue ).

Anyways, If it means anything, one of the best on my opinion...! applause

(If you re-edit the fight, just to include the highlights, and speed up the whole secuence, Im sure it would be in for next year!)

Thanks for the comments guys... I really appreciate it!

Maybe i'll leave it with Atom Films for now (there are plenty of other Fan Film comps out there AMPS being one), and see what i can do with Overtime 2 (which is currently in the writing stage).

Anyone got any good ideas for a sequel?

I have shot a teaser trailer for Overtime 2 already, and its after the end credits of the version of Overtime that i have up on YouTube. But I have set it to private for the moment as i have the Charity Premiere for Overtime Friday night, and didn't want too many people watching the film online before hand. Once Friday is out of the way, i'll put it back to Public viewing on YouTube. :-)

Did they give a reason for knocking it back? I had a couple of minor niggles with it, but overall it was good fun with some good effects (nice job on the sabres the window - very effective), and I can't imagine on what basis mine would get accepted and yours wouldn't.

Nah... they just say that its not been accepted basically, and that they are too busy to give feedback. Which i think is pretty poor! I still can't believe Star Wars : Dark Resurrection didn't make it either!

Oh well... can't beat myself up about it! LOL... good luck to those that got through... i will be voting! ;-)
