Sickness and 48 Hour Movie

I apologize for the lack of posts this week. I've been sick with a nasty cold. I'm getting better, but I'm still all stuffy. I've been in bed for the last few days. It's been rather yucky!

This has nothing to do with gardening. (I haven't been able to do much in the garden this week due to the cold). But I thought I would share my 48 hour film project.

In July, I participated in the Nashville 48 hour film project 2008. Basically, we had to make a short film (5-8 minutes) within 48 hours. We were assigned a character that had to appear in the film, a line of dialogue we had to used, a prop, and a genre.

Prop: Calendar
Character: Rob or Robina Hatch, Security Consultant
Genre: Sports
Line: My brother had one just like that

Here is our film. "Leaps and Bounds: The Skip Hopwell Story"

Enjoy!



Gardening-related posts coming up on Monday. I hope I'll feel better by then!

    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for your comments on the film. It was so much fun to make.

    Skeeter- the film won best in its genre (sports) and best graphics. It wasn't best overall, the judges chose a more serious, scary movie for "best overall." It was a fun experience though! Cam and I do it every year with the same crew.
