We've come up with a plan that will mean more of you can be involved and hundreds, if not thousands, of you can contribute. This is how we're going to do it:
We're going to ask you a question and you are going to answer it in the most creative way you can come up with, using drawings, animation, photographs and film.
What are your greatest hopes and worst fears for Naomily?
That’s up to you; but your answer will dictate the look and feel of the film, so think about it. And your creations must be your own work, and only feature people over 18 who have given their permission to be used. Otherwise we’ll sue (not really, but our E4 Lawyers are very serious about this).
Your ‘answers’ can speak to the question in any way you like:. Maybe you have a photograph of a place you can imagine the two of them in or presents they would give each other; sunrises or sunsets; beautiful city-scapes; drawings or animation of them on their bicycles; forests; flowers; patterns and people; photoshopped stuff, any of that schmaltzy stuff you lot conjure up when you think of their relationship (we know you love them so, we’ve seen plenty of evidence). Not just that though, if you’re feeling gloomy and want to imagine the worst things that could occur, send them all in as well. Thinking about the rollercoaster they went on in series 3, it wasn’t all bike rides and hand holding through the cat flap was it?
The only thing we don't want you to do is send us stuff we already have (i.e. things from the show) as that’s not your work is it? Plus we’ve already seen it.
We're going to use more of your material in this video than we have ever done before, we could end up with hundreds if not thousands of pieces. What you send in will help dictate the look and feel and story of the piece. Are you excited much?
Send your submissions direct to Company Productions Limited by 16th December 2009. Here are the options:
By email (Under 10 MB)
If what you want to send us is under 10 MB, then just email it to us at skins4naomily@gmail.com
. The subject title should be ‘Naomily’
Yousendit.com (For stuff under 100MB)
Yousendit will allow you to send stuff under 100MB in size for free to any email address (ours is skins4naomily@gmail.com). So if your drawing scanned at full resolution is under 100MB (or your video/timelapse/whatever) use yousendit.
Snail mail
If your pictures, video or animation are over 100 MB or you would prefer to send the originals via post, save them as data on a DVD (as a file, not a DVD that plays in DVD player- we need to be able to save your stuff) and post them. The address is:
SKINS 4 NAOMILY
PO BOX 6382
LONDON
W1A 5EQ
If sending via post please ensure you leave enough time for it to get here before the closing date.
We won't be able to send back any of your work to you because (we hope) it'll be too big a task.
We would prefer you to use the following file formats if at all possible:
Images:Try to use uncompressed images (i.e. images at the resolution they were created at). If in doubt, visit http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/bbenedet/fall04/Documents/File%20Formats.htm to see what formats we can use. Please use .TIFF or .PSD if you can.
Video: .avi or .mov (again uncompressed if possible)
Project files are also fine (flash illustrator, Photoshop, After effects etc.)
By submitting material in any of the above ways, you are agreeing:
Your material (or anyone who appears in it) may be used in this short film for no cost. The film we create (including your contribution) may be published worldwide in all forms of media, in perpetuity.
We can edit and cut up or use sections of whatever you send in
No-one under the age of 18 can appear in any of your material
Anyone appearing in the material must have given their permission
This must be your own work, or you must have permission if you include another person’s work.
You will not receive a credit if your material is used in the short film
