[@brokeglassfilms32]

My teams been working on this since you posted. It's been such a fun time! I have a question regarding young actors and release forms. With release forms would we have to send those to you when we post the short?

[@TheBuffNerds]

I/We don't require release forms.

[@carsonbeddows]

Definitely participating this year! Would an EZ-Rig count as handheld or as using equipment?

[@EDJK_]

definitely equipment

[@TurquoiseFilms]

sounds fun but kinda bummed that we can't use VFX. there's a lot of creativity these days

[@TheBuffNerds]

There's also many more creative ways to do things practically! + it puts everyone on the same playing field that might not have crazy VFX capabilities. Lets et back to the roots. you should support that as not everyone has those crazy VFX skillsets which can instantly make a film look or feel so much bigger. Let's get creative here.

[@TurquoiseFilms]

@@TheBuffNerds fair enough. Challenge accepted! Does this mean like zero effects like what if we want to like have someone disappear and we do editing in Premiere to make it happen?

[@TheBuffNerds]

@@TurquoiseFilms that's fine!

[@squidward3333]

@@TheBuffNerds I've submitted a film before. No VFX is a fantastic addition to the rules.

[@timothycollier-actor]

Hi @TheBuffNerds, are we permitted to use split screen filming? Or does that in some way fall under the CGI/VFX rule?

[@TheBuffNerds]

no that's fine

[@TimzYT]

When are the films due by?

[@rpgmakerbloodytutorials9486]

Can we use fishing line to control a prop

[@alexandermendeyev35]

Hey Jakob can we use any kind of music? Or needs tonbe royalty free?

[@willstruder]

Can we use stabilization in post??

[@jakobowens8439]

Sure!

[@danielthescott_]

Hey, Jakob, is adding digital zoom (specifically keyframing and scaling up the footage) okay?

[@TheBuffNerds]
