It occurs to me that a lot of films don't actually benefit from a high budget, but actually end up being worse because of it. To test this hypothesis, I am starting the first annual No-Budget film competition.
Rules:
1) Your film must be yours. I won't accept mashups of other people's video (well... I might, but you will have to impress the judges a lot more). Likewise, don't do anything illegal in the films, or pornographic -- I don't want to get in trouble.
2) You must not buy or rent anything specifically for this film (with an exception for a camera, if you don't own one). You also cannot have any paid actors. In other words, no budget allowed.
3) You may do it in live action or animation. Really, you can do it with any method you choose.
4) Submissions start January 23 and end February 13. If you send your submission in outside of this time slot, it might not be considered.
5) I will announce the winners by March 15. First prize will be $5 transferred via paypal. The top three submissions (judged any way I like) will be posted on this blog, and will get the titles of Best No-Budget Film of 2010, Second Best No-Budget Film of 2010, and Third Best No-Budget Film of 2010. They will also get a picture of a golden coin trophy.
How to submit:
Upload your finished films to youtube or vimeo (or some other streaming video site), and send the link to nobudgetsubmissions@hakware.cjb.net. The films may be of any length, and you can enter as many times as you like.

can i still send ?
Go ahead. I have only one submission at the moment, so I'm extending the deadline out as far as I can so that one guy doesn't win by default.

I'm supposed to announce the winners on the fifteenth. You can enter it in the 2011 contest, though, if you can't make it for the deadline.

I was watching some lesbian strap-on wrestling earlier, it was great.

Well, since I'm doing the judging...
I'm perfectly fine with people getting in trouble on camera, as long as having the video doesn't get ME in trouble. This is the internet, after all.

Yeah. This stuff isn't going to happen until summer vacation, at the very earliest.

We only got two entries, but it turns out they were both great. I strongly recommend both.
