Hello again

There was an ad in the paper this week for a Horror movie competition.

simply;

Make a max 10 min long horror movie with a DV camera
Cash prize (3,000 hk or US, can't remember)
Problem;
Submission date 29 April (this Friday...!)
I'm really tempted to knock something together and had an idea along these lines;

Title; Hung Over

Location; My Flat (start in living room shot from dining table looking towards balcony)

Bloke (me) lying asleep face down on the sofa. Wakes, groaning and swearing. Coffee table covered in beer cans and overflowing ashtray
Bloke staggers to balcony and throws up
Looks round, sees living room is absolute mess
Whispering confused expletives, Bloke moves towards back of the living room. Chairs are upturned, someone is on the floor behind the table. They had fallen against the shelves and collapsed.
Dead. Injuries (budget of 2 pound 50 limits, but want teeth marks)
Bloke checks dead guy 1, gets blood on hands.
runs down flat to kitchen, more of the same. 3 dead. Cat eating guts of one.
runs back to bedroom; finds wife; dead and messy.
Staggers into bathroom and dry heaves into sink
Looks up to see own face and mouth covered in blood
Possibly says "not again..."
FIN
Andrea says she thinks this has been done before, I guess it probably has.
Anyway, decent work avoidance, I rekon

Dave said "Theres only so many plots in the end." which I take to be a polite way of saying "yes, it has been done before, bomber."

Obviously the time constraint is the difficult bit, so I thought that the following schedule would suit;

1 day to borrow a DV camera, find out how to use it and "polish" the plot, by doing some stick-men story boards, like that bloke in American Spledor. Probably
1 day to shoot it
1 day to buy pirate DV editing software and learn how to use it
1 day to edit.
Collect prize

I call this the bomb-me school of film making

Dave says it needs more lesbian sex. He's probably right. After all; there's a crowd to please

Any donations to production costs would be gratefully received. 2 cases of beer should cover it, one for the DV camera lender and one for the cast and crew (Andrea, me and the cat; non speaking extras, aside from wife and cat, don't count.) None of that Tiger rubbish, though
