Earlier this year my colleague in the U.S. wrote:
“The 48 Hour Film Project is an international tour spanning over 80 countries, in each of which a team of TV and Film production professionals make a movie – that is, write, shoot, edit and score it – in just 48 hours. Last year saw over 40,000 participants ball their wears, emphasising the amount of growth the project has seen since it’s inception in 2001.”
Australian hardcore filmmakers might be pleased to hear that Friday the 23rd of September will see the kick off of Oz version of this fantastic film competition! Films submitted exactly 48 hours after the start (7 pm) would enter the competition with public screening scheduled for Sunday 9th October at Riverside Theatres in Parramatta, followed by The Awards Night which will begin at 6pm.
Here’s a short video for those of you who would rather have this information provided in pictures:
Here is the official website with all that you might need to register and take part in this fantastic opportunity (apart from coffee that is); and here are the usual links to corresponding pages on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
Don’t miss out and register now, in which case Oz Media Match wishes you good luck.

It wouldn’t be far off the truth to say that Apple do know how to make a big splash with their new products. Newly released Final Cut Pro X is no exception to this rule. And so for the last two weeks the web of professional editors and filmmakers is buzzing with fcpx hash tags, keywords and bookmarks.
Faced with abundance of reviews, blog entries, videos and discussions dedicated to this particularly controversial piece of editing software, I decided to go for somewhat disengaged approach to the whole issue. So in this blog entry, dedicated to FCPX, there would be no deep analysis, no elaborate insights, no invaluable notes from “hands on experience”, no praises of new, innovative features and no complaints over the ones that are missing from this supposedly better version of Final Cut Pro. Just stuff for you to relax and enjoy.
Let’s start with a short video, which according to @MarioFeil, “producer, editor, DP and motion graphics…dude” as well as better known @VisionWrangler, shows FCP7 editor’s first reaction to FCPX:

On the same note and with a bit more content but still without too much detail:
Obviously as with every controversial topic there are two sides of one story:
… so much for “two sides” one might think … unless …

Have you ever had an idea for a story that you wanted to see on the screen but you reckoned no one would ever like to know about?
Are you harboring a script for a comedy, drama, documentary or whatever else that is so dangerous and brilliantly intelligent that would take the viewers way outside of their comfort zone?
Can you think of a mold breaking, status quo challenging project that if brought into the public sphere could mean that your nan disowns you and your neighbors shun you?
Do you want to be ostracized?
If “yes” is the answer to all these questions then you might want to know that there are some who would like to dish out $30.000 in order to get your idea written for screen production.
Initiated by Zapruder’s Other Films, 2011 Kit Denton Disfellowship is sponsored by Australian Writing Guild, Australian Writers’ Foundation, Animal Logic, Princess Pictures, GNWTV, FremantleMedia Australia, Hopscotch, Shine Australia, and TressCox Lawyers and it’s purpose is to find and back a groundbreaking, strong, exciting and subversive project of exceptional quality that would make for great Australian television, film or new media.
Interested? If yes, then you will need to provide a short narrative (max. 2 pages) telling the story of your work, the nature of the project and how you would like to develop it with $30.ooo plus your CV (max. 1 page).
And be quick because entries close on Friday 1 July 2011.
So, are you ready to step up and be heard?
All forms and guidelines are available here.
Good luck

Many screenwriters, directors and producers when asked “What does Intellectual Property Law mean to you?” would shudder in response? Even though IP laws are of crucial importance for creative industries, somehow the phrase became almost a synonym with “hurdle”, “obstacle”, “impediment” or simply “expense”. All the same, it is evident that knowledge and understanding of these legal principles could guide professionals while they are working on their projects.
If you happened to share my opinion but feel like your knowledge of IP is somewhat far from agreeable and at the same time you are planning to be in Melbourne on Thursday, 16th of June then The Arts Law Centre of Australia in partnership with Open Channel might have something just for you.
“Screen Rights & Wrongs: the Legal Lowdown for Screen Content Creators” is a two hours long seminar aimed at people like you, and on their websites organizers explain:
“If you know your legals you’ll know how to avoid those legal loopholes when you make your next project. Essential for Screenwriters, Directors and Producers, this seminar will explain the fundamental legal issues surrounding screen content creation. Lawyers Michael Tucak, from creativeIlegal, and Film Victoria’s Sally Wilson will explain the basics of copyright law in relation to film, contracts and chain of title. They will also discuss legal issues concerning working online, such as online collaborative projects and online distribution, and tell you about producer’s offsets.”
The admission is free, all you have to do is to register your attendance by sending an email to info@openchannel.org.au with “SCREEN RIGHTS” in the subject heading. Organizers also stress that a panel discussion will follow the legal presentations and participants are encouraged to post any question they would like addressed during the workshop by emailing artslaw@artslaw.com.au .
Thursday June 16, 6pm – 8pm.

Here at Media Match, we love a good movie mash up; funny, creative, and often very intelligently put together. Whether it is seeing the coolest of horror movies portrayed as a romantic comedy, or seeing a geeky comedic role elevated into Bond-like hero status, or even seeing your favorite animated characters in gunfights, one great way to show your creativity and undoubted editor skills to potential employers and co-workers, is the remix/mash-up video. Assuming that they won’t take offence at seeing Kermit the Frog and Fozzy Bear smoking fools.
Enjoy!
