This thread is going to be a success! Me and goumas13 thought of this thread. When he gets on I'll tell him to come here and tell you what he is going to do. What you are going to do is make a movie using these directions.

Title:
Plot:
Setting:
Characters:
Movie Cover: (picture from photobucket)

There are going to be two judges for each competition. Each competition will be two weeks long. And the winner will receive a merit by Carlie. You cannot win twice.

Now all I need is to have two judges.

First competition is going to start when I have two judges to judge the movies. It will end on July 24th. Get Thinking!!!!

I'd like to be a judge but I'm curious as to how long each theme will last, if it's at least a week long.
Then I suppose I could judge, if you wanted my help.

I'm not sure just yet how long each theme will last. We'll do a &quotractice round" first just to see how active everyone is and how long it takes for the submissions to come in.

If you're willing to stay committed to this contest, I'd love to have you help judge.

One more new rule:

Since this contest is about writing the movie, the cover is not required. It's a nice touch, but you will not be judged on it. This is not an art contest, and a decent amount of the covers made in the past weren't even original.

This should be a fairly interesting contest, if the theme is inspirational for me, I'll try work on something.

Well I'm just wondering should I start writing the script know or should I wait because it doesn't seem like anybody is judging.

There's a reason no one is judging. It's because nobody has thought of a theme yet.

For those of you who do not wish to judge but still wish to participate, we also need a theme for the contest.


Maybe I wasn't clear on this part, but I'm letting you guys pick the theme.

Deathopper: I like your idea, but it needs to have more detail behind it. It doesn't tell very much about the movie, other than the very basic skeleton of the plot.

MoonFairy: You might want to change a few things just to make it seem less like a certain other movie...

At least rephrase that part. Or change the number of banditos.

Since people are just randomly entering movies without a given theme, I'll just let this go as a &quotractice round".

Maybe next round we will go with that theme. We already have four submissions, so it's a bit late now to change the theme.
