PINHEADS TELL A STORY PROJECT #2

2007

PinheadHQ's second project, became The Story Project. The videos could be about anything the editors wanted with Pinhead being the star. There was no specific theme, except that editors were to tell a story. Participants were judged on putting together a story. Pinhead was to be in most of the scenes and be moving, or used as a cut-out, or otherwise engaged in the story.  Part of the process was to encourage learning. Originally clips were to remain anonymous until the end, and have a minimum running time of 2 minutes but no more than 6 minutes in length. Both concepts were dropped during the project, to encourage sharing of techniques. Studio was the primary video editor. Photo programs to change the appearance of Pinhead were allowed.

PROJECT DETAILS

Project two will be a project to give everyone the opportunity to tell a story and improve skills. The video can be about anything you want with Pinhead being the star.  There is no specific theme except that you should tell a story – and you can create a story about anything that appeals to you such as Pinhead learns something new, or Pinhead visits some point of interest or an imaginary event – anything goes here.   Use your imagination.   You can use video you shot, pictures you took, backgrounds – basically anything you desire.  You are not being judged on cinematography or lighting, but more on putting together a story.

From here, Pinhead starts on his worldwide adventure and that's where all of you come in.

1) Remember, the purpose of this is to tell a story, and of course to also have some fun in the process.

2) Use of any add-on programs is permitted and encouraged.

3) Several tools have been provided. You have two choices. You can output Pinhead on your printer to about 20" (obviously this would be done in pieces and then glued to board) and then film him as if he were a live actor.  You can download the tiff files provided to use them as an overlay on your filmed movie.

4) Music/dialog/sound effects/special effects are all up to you.

5) Tell us a good story, make us laugh and most of all, have fun.

So get to work and send in those videos. The deadline is September 30, 2007.
