The short film industry could not be as vast and accessible as it is today, if it wasn't for the internet. Websites dedicated to short films such as The BBC Film Network, Coffee Shorts and The Smalls, make it a lot easier for 'wannabe' directors and budding videographers to break through. Even sites such as YouTube and DailyMotion allow people to upload their videos and broadcast them worldwide - Free of charge!
There are also many ways to find your very own short film circling the world on the internet, and thats through competitions: such as the reed film competition (thats going on at the moment) where you enter your ideas, and short film and in return the winner is given 10,000 towards... well whatever they want really. Just incase you want to check it out - www.reed.co.uk/film. There are also other big competitions like virgin shorts, and BFI often hold competitions similar.
One of my favorite short films, that can be found on the internet is called 'sorry I'm late' and is found on the BBC Film Network website. I like this film because it is weird, querky and very unique. The whole thing is done using stop frame animation, and everyday objects are used to create obstacles for the protagonist, along with animation. The story line is entriguing as it would never happen, but it realates to real life scenarios; as we've all lied to make an excuse for being late (Usually really dumb ones). So yeah in my next post you can watch the video. Hopefully.
