| Media Arts Centennial Competition |
Use your talents and skills to be a part of Gaylord's Centennial Celebration!
The Media Arts program at Gaylord is looking to produce a web series during
Fall 2013 with a budget of $25K, as part of our centennial celebration.
We're looking for a single story that can be broken into six five-minute segments.
Each segment should end with a compelling cliffhanger, problem, jeopardy or question that will bring our viewers back to watch the next episode.
Written pitches due March 1.
Finished scripts due May 1.
The winning script will get $500.
- Only Gaylord students can participate in the contest.
- Keep in mind that this project needs to be shot in the Norman area.
Feel free to pick a project that's shot mostly on green screen (like "300" or "Sin City").
- Please keep the cast down to a manageable number (under 10 perhaps).
Besides the web series, a variety of novellas, blogs, graphic novel and non-fiction "making of" plan to be developed around the world of this story.
Let your imagination go wild.
Horror, Mystery, Romance, Comedy, Drama,
SciFi (like "The Matrix" or "Terminator")
that takes place in our contemporary world.
If you have questions or want to bounce an idea off someone, please contact:
We will help you workshop your project as much as you want.
