Local is Lekker Film Comp

CityROCK have been screening the Reel Rock Tour in SA for the past 7 years and it’s coming again at the end of September and early October – Click here for a list of the screenings
Initially it was only shown in Cape Town but due to constant calls for it to be shown elsewhere climbers in Jo’burg, Pretoria, Durban and Pietermaritzburg now also get to experience the tour.

And so a few of us thought about creating a “local is lekker” film competition with the 3 finalists will be shown before the main Reel Rock Tour attraction.

The premise:  The idea is to make the “local is lekker” comp a regular, annual event which will be combined with the RRT.

So all you aspiring SA film makers – submit your local is lekker video!!

1st  Prize:  R2500
2nd Prize:  R1500
3rd Prize:  R500

Submission details:

  •   2-5 minutes preferred with a maximum playtime of 10 minutes
  •  Video must be uploaded and viewable online somewhere (Vimeo/YouTube).  If you are one of the 3 finalists you must submit a copy via memory stick

Contents:

  •  local climbers, local film maker or producer having travelled somewhere and filmed local SA climbers
  •  Not a professional piece of work.  That means it wasn’t made for money by the film maker(s)
  •  There just has to be a very strong local flavour to the whole thing

The top 3 finalist films will be shown at the RRT, then intermission, followed by the main RRT film.

Deadline:

  •   Sunday September 23rd at midnight – we know it’s short notice, sorry.  But better late than never (remember the prize money that is up for grabs!)

Next year, you got more time, a whole year in fact.

Soundtrack / music:
Some people have asked about the issue of legal music. this is a tricky subject  e.g. Amy Daneel has done a film of Matt soloing in Montagu with a Moby sound track.  Her video is on Vimeo, and the organisers are OK with keeping that sound track.  If/when we grow to become a huge thing one day then at some point, then we must make sure that the music is legal.
Right now we are all amateurs.

Judges:

  • Justin Lawson
  • Robert Breyer
  • Roger Nattrass
  • Josh Pickering
  • Dirk Talma
  • Andrew Pedley

Judges decision is final.
No ifs and buts.  Judges will view submissions, and vote for 1,2 and 3 individually.  Scores will be added, lowest score wins.
If the judge is in the film or wants to submit something then of course judge will not be eligible for voting.

    A weeks notice is far too little unfortunately. I know the idea is to screen them with the RRT, but it would make a lot more sense to push the deadline back.

    Chances are people will just submit whatever climbing climbing footage they already have, which will hardly constitute a film.

    Will a one minute film be acceptable?

  3. Robert Breyer September 15, 2012 at 9:34 am #

    Yes the deadline this year is really tight so yes people will just edit existing material and submit it. Nothing wrong with that, lots of existing excellent stuff around. Unfortunately I only thought of this competition a few days ago. So Robbie, start working on a new film for 2013.

    Craig, we will view anything that you submit. Whether a 1 minute clip will be a top 3 is a different matter. It will have to be a helluva minute.

    Hi there all you aspirant South African film makers.
    I am really impressed and entertained with what has been submitted so far. Some of the stuff is hilarious.
    A few observations:
    Less is more. Julia & co, edit yours down to 3 minutes and it will be really good.
    Get a good camera. RockCandy Inc, a Blackberry does not make a video camera. Unless you compressed it to really low res?
    Lastly, if you going to submit something, please email me so I know who you are and how to get in touch with you.
    - Robert
