Where The Shoot Hits The Fans

The registration deadline for this years V48HOURS Furious Filmmaking Competition is closing in two weeks.

All participants (and even those not entering) are encouraged to warm-up and test their equipment with the annual V48SECONDS [http://www.vrepublic.co.nz/48-seconds/] competition which offers killer prizes (Panasonic HD camcorders & Plasmas, Apple MacBook Pro & more) and lots of fun as people recreate famous movie scenes using V cans or bottles. Watch some of last years and this years entries, including spins on Inception and The Kings Speech here [http://www.vrepublic.co.nz/48-seconds/gallery]
