Summer's only a few months away, and it's fast approaching! Everyone loves summer, right, school's out, vacation days are being used, skin's melting off of your body. It's a great time, and what better way to celebrate the hottest season than with a special NGTV summer marathon - The NGTV Summer Bash
You're probably not sure what the hell I'm talking about, here's the deal:
NGTV is a television themed collab, you can check out the last one (which was also the first) here:
The goal of NGTV is to replicate the television watching experience as close as possible. That, of course, includes not just shorts but commercials, bumpers, talk shows, and everything else you can think of. I suggest checking out the link above to get a better feel of what it's all about.
For this one, the theme's broader: Summer.
That's it.
You are invited to make anything you want, in any genre, medium & style, as long as it's set in the summer. Whether you wanna do an original short, a commercial, a parody of whatever comes to mind, or anything inbetween - it's all welcome!
Note: if you're doing a commercial - you don't have to include anything summer-y, but it is definitely encouraged!
Application:
Since it's a television themed collab, there are different subcategories for submissions. When applying, you will be asked what subcategory your submission will fall into.
The subcategories and their particular runtime guidelines are as follows:
Commercial (up to 45 seconds)
Short (from 30 seconds up to LIMITLESS)
Parody (from 30 seconds up to LIMITLESS)
Other - PSAs, talk shows, news, trailers, etc. (depends)
Please don't think any of these have a higher barrier of entry, the reason for subcategory selection being a part of the application process is for streamlining the production. Gotta keep track of how many entries are in each subcategory. The collab is open to beginners, so in case you were worried - don't be!
After applying, you will be contacted as soon as possible with all the relevant information & a Discord invite. No worries, though, you don't have to be in the Discord - it's set up mostly to help people find collaborators.
Please don't apply more than once.
Apply here:
make sure to read the rest of this post, though!
