I participated in the flash fiction part of Sci-London’s 48 hour challenge and over the course of the week it’s sparked some of the same thoughts I’ve had before regarding the difference in storytelling mediums. By which I mean, the difference between visual and word (and, in some ways, even spoken word and written).

I think many of my thoughts come from the culture of writing--both fan fiction and what I understand of the publication process. Fanfic, particularly when I was growing up, was rather hush-hush and you never made money off it for fear an author or show would sue you. Fan art? Sell online or commission or at conventions. Fanfic? Never--and there’s even cultural backlash to that affect sometimes (I recall that being an issue with Big Bang Press ages ago)

Keep it close to you, essentially. Share if you want nothing from it, it seems.

In general, its more difficult to re-sell a story that has already been placed online or sold (this has variations of degrees of difficulty depending on a given writer’s aims but, as a general rule, an author can’t slap it on a mug and sell it and then put it on a sweater--so, too, it can’t be being sold by two different publishers at the same time--generally excluding international etc. First rights, reprints, a whole mess of things).

Of course, one might say the same thing about the video’s crafted by the 48 hour film crews. They created their film, whose to say it can be submitted elsewhere or anything else can be done with it? Most are posted online--VEMO or Youtube or other video platforms.

But there seems to be a stronger reluctance to posting fiction verses film. Which is interesting when both film and fiction have the same ‘publishing’ rights

in-perpetuity, world-wide, royalty free, non-exclusive licence to promote, publish, sample and sub-licence the work.   We will never charge any money for the story or film, but we will offer it free to anyone who wants to show it.   The intellectual property in the work is yours and we do not make any claim on this, so we wont take the world or characters you develop without permission.

Tldr: as I understand even if its never utilized by the contest providers, the first rights are taken and they could post the story online. Heavy revision and expansion could make a new story out of the old story and the contest would not have that--but, as it is, that 2.5k or less isn’t any less licenced if its on a personal blog or webpage.

There’s no end-result for this ramble. I just find it interesting in the culture of text and sharing

Most Fun Films of #SFL48HR

This is a list of the most fun films created for and submitted to #SFL48HR 2015.

The Most Fun:

Monkey Business

Wheels In Motion

Gateway Gaurdian

Citizens Of Culture

Dead Man Switch

The Naked Eye

First Class All The Way

Flip Flop

The Steward

Lilies In Winter

We kick off this list with 'Monkey Business' - a well executed educational film parody, reminiscent of Season 1 of  'Look Around You'. If you like Noel Fieldings Luxury Comedy, then you might like 'Wheels In Motion' with its mixed media animation and sharp dialogue.

'Gateway Guardian' is essentially the trailer for the B Movie you want to see at a Grindhouse drive-in, good fun! 'Citizens of Culture' is a daytime television studio parody, reminiscent of 'Look Around You' Season TWO.

Then we have 'Dead Man Switch' which pits a repairman against a programmed personality, with nice production design and good comedic approach. 'The Naked Eye' is shot on Video 8 for the authentic home video look. The sound design is mostly in-camera, (despite the fact that it is a major plot element), and this absolutely works for the piece, top notch.  'First Class All The Way' is Sci-Fiction 'Broad City', the visual effects, edit, and overall timing are bang on! 'Flip Flop' is kind of like a narrative music video from the 90's. 'The Steward' is the only movie that has a giant chicken. Nuff said.  Last but by no means least, we have 'Lilies In Winter' which has some great visual gags.

If you are still in the humour of more fun Science Fiction films made for the competition, you might enjoy these further 5 special mentions...

Special Mentions:

Slap Down

Speaking Of Now

Cracked

Rebranding the Empire

After:Life

As a side note, watching as many films as I could from this years competition, I noticed a recurring theme... that of the robotic/cyborg romantic companion. This theme comes up in at least 5 films, mostly with a comedic approach...

The Perfect Mate/Marionettes Incorporated Films:

Drip Feed

Jigsaw

For All Of Us

Chairman Elected

Into The Rain

The films are listed in no particular order. In compiling this list I have tried to watch as many films as possible, although some films may have been missed... so any exclusions are accidental.
