“BRING: staple gun, hammer/driver, screws, dance stuff, advil, hacksaw, cell numbers, MUSIC." Love In Vain is an amazing short film created in only 48 hours as part of the Dance Films Association 48 Hour Challenge. Here's how it was done. Recommended for fans of Robert Johnson. (via Projects.)

It's a wonderfully done film, and good lord, especially considering the time constraint! 48 hours? Amazing! Fine job, sixswitch.

Wow. To pull that together in 48 hours is pretty amazing. The choreography was interesting as well. Nice job!

There's a regular 48-hour film competition in NZ every year. Entrants are given a genre, character and line of dialogue they need to incorporate into their entries. The quality of (winning) films is astounding. This year's winner was animated from scratch with a budget of $0.

We have a winner, and it's a good one...thanks everybody for the kind words! I ended up working from the back pages rather than the headlines as that's how my brain works, but it was a great experience and I'm really happy with the film.
