wtf? Basically, create a video spoofing a movie of your choosing. You may act in the video, direct the video, or write the script, but when you post the video, you have to specify whether you acted, directed, or wrote. It must be at least 6 minutes long, but no more than 25 minutes. You can upload your entry to any video hosting site (preferably YouTube, but I really don't care that much), and then post the final product here in this topic.
What can I spoof? Whatever the hell you want, provided it isn't already a spoof movie. For example, you may not spoof stuff like Date Movie or Scary Movie and the like. Anything else is fair game, though. Dramas, comedies, action adventure, romance, animated films, whatever.
What am I being judged on? You're primarily being judged on overall entertainment factor and quality of the video, but there will also be a slight lean, depending on what you did in the video. For example, if you are acting, you will be judged more harshly on the acting. Likewise, if you directed the video or wrote the script, you'll be judged on the directing or the script, respectively.
Can I judge? No, judges have been chosen. They are Sheebobee, HANCOCK, and myself.
But I can't make a whole movie by myself! You can have as many people involved as you like. But if there are multiple LiveWire members in the same movie, the prize pool will be split evenly amongst them.
Speaking of prizes... Right now I'm throwing in 8,000 points. This will grow if I get a decent amount of entries. I'll also get this up on the contest page so that other members can put more points in, if they want.
How long do I have Well, I know that this could potentially be a long project. So to encourage quality and a decent amount of entries, I'm going to post a tentative deadline for Saturday, July 13th. That gives you just about 4 months, and also allows some room for people who may not have a lot of time until Summer comes along.
Why are you doing this? Because I'm bored and I thought it'd be neat.
So have at it, gogogo!
I acted and helped with some script/scene editing in this film. It is a Dawn of the Dead spoof named "ReAnimation."
This is mapleafan's srsly, though, if I don't get more by mid-June, I'm call it off.

Just give me the points because I spent at least a good 10 hours making mine.
A couple updates. Sheebobee and HANCOCK are now judges, and I've lowered the minimum length for videos from 8 minutes to 6 minutes to be a bit more fair, since Youtube's max length for most people is 10 minutes. So VrtclSpydr's video now counts as an entry.
You ought to update the length change on the Contests page itself (from the sidebar).
