The FMUK Movie!

#1 Post by AYBG » Tue Dec 11, 2012 11:50 am

Well, something like that.

I've been updating the front-site introduction pages (to remove too many references to the seemingly dead seefilmfirst, for starters) and I realised we've missed a trick all these years! How better to show people what the whole free screening thing is about than to, well, show them?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get footage of different parts of the process... printing tickets, arriving at the cinema, b*ying popcorn, the queue at the usher and handing over the tickets (probably best to ask first if you can film that part!)...
Then there's fun things like shots of your FMUK badge, yourself introducing it ("My name's AYBG and I'm about to see ___, for free") if you're not camera-shy, meeting up with other FMUKkers! Basically anything but the film. Please don't record that ;)

You don't need a RED Epic - any good phone camera will do!

If you then upload the footage to youtube, or email it to me, I'll compile it all into a super epic montage!! Sort of like our 'Life in a Day'!

Not only will it familiarise the process for newbies (I remember being unsure my first time lol), it'll show the awesome national scale of FMUK. Plus it'll be a really cool collaboration.

One shot or a hundred, post if you want to get involved o/

There's a badge? I want one...and so does the wife :-p We normally point at people going "wonder if they are from FMUK" but then end up being to shy to actually go up and ask. Think I spoke to you Beate at the Dark Knight Rises..but I think that's been about it.

True! I like it when there's free beer too. I don't like beer, but I like it when it's free :)

So we should concentrate on the free aspect - the free popcorn at Virgin screenings or the drinks at some hotel screenings - show the different London venues, they are quite lovely sometimes!

And maybe repeat the cinema etiquette rules!

We could have footage of "How NOT to behave at the cinema"... thinking back to the excellent suggestion about etiquette!

Heh, no actually. Haven't had the guts to film something myself!
