haha snapshot of the video? isnt that ruining it a little since a snapshot would be about 25% of the 1 second film.

This is interesting. What type of video would it be?

i was thinking something like a guy looking up with his mouth open and then something falling out of the sky towards him. 1 second isnt much, its like a one line joke.

sounds good…
maybe someone waiting for the rain with an open mouth, and then a bomb drops?

quote from a review I made of the OFFF festival 4 years ago which included the first 1 sec film festival:

One Second For A Lifetime

If I mentioned the sponsorship issue I must point out what I see as an incredible addition to this year’s festival: The One Second Video Festival. The brief was very simple, OFFF has published a call for proposals for one second films and Media Temple, the sponsor of the competition has promised hosting for a whole lifetime to the random winner in this bizarre competition. The screening of more than 70 films and their credits took less than three minutes and was hilarious. The good ones made excellent use of finding the right balance that lets the audience fill the previous and the next seconds. The concept of time and movement was reduced to a minimum and the format proved itself perfectly.

The undisputed judge of the competition was Deep Dread – a machine (basic Flash random function) that has chosen the lucky winner. Fortunately the choice was good.
