Fimmaking Frenzy

Filmmaking Frenzy is your home on the web for filmmaking competitions. Voting is ongoing for the Red Bull Beats Per Minute Frenzy right now and you can see all of those videos right here.

You can check out movies from past Frenzies in our Past Frenzies section, and you can keep up to date with future Frenzies here on this page or in the nav bar at the top.

When you sign up for any competition you'll need to register as a Filmmaking Frenzy user first, then that account will be tied to all of the events you enter and you'll be able to access your info in one centralized location. But don't worry, you can still change your team name from Skippy Monkey Jumpers to Harpoon Happies whenever you feel like it.

Individual competitions may have different registration fees, but signing on as a FilmmakingFrenzy.com user will always be totally free, so several people from your team can register and join the community as it builds. We also post information, videos, photos and updates at our Filmmaking Frenzy Facebook community.

CURRENT FRENZIES: We currently have two active frenzies: the RED BULL BEATS PER MINUTE: DFEST EDITION Frenzy, a 48 hour music video making competition that is in the voting stage, and UNNECESSARY SEQUELS, a month long contest for filmmakers to create a trailer for a sequel to an existing feature film. That contest is still in the shooting phase, and you can sign up to compete!

BPM: DFest Edition Results!

And the votes are tallied!

In third place, we had:

U Sock: Making a video for Greg Summerlin's "Shine On Where You Want."

In second place:

Fobar ABQ!: Greg Summerlin's This Darkened World

And in first place, we didn't have Greg Summerlin. Instead, it was:

Media Pie: Adam's Attic's Waiting.

Congratulations to all the winners, and to those of you hanging out in Tulsa at DFest, I'll see you this weekend. Everyone else - I'd better be invited to the "I'll Show You Mine" party you just won from Red Bull! ..more

Scottie Tighten up your action and it would give you a better film. I like how characters passed by each other as though they were never. It's a great technique for condensing characters and actions. posted february, 2008
