A bit long perhaps but more interesting than the reading of the Register of Huntingdonshire Cabmen.
[edited to remove plot spoilers]
Well played!
Revenge is sweetâŚ
I hope there is strong pornography at the 6 hour mark keep the censors honest.
What savagery! Being forced to watch such a sublime film at 2K? Iâll wager itâs mislabeled 720p with a badly lossy codec. All in the name of art. Is this 1998 fergawdsakes?! 4K or riot. No wonder the censors were (wait for it) incensed.
I canât wait for the 4K directorâs cut with commentary and celeb outtakes. Rumor has it Peter Jackson directed this under a pseudonym. Shut up and take my money already! (surely better than those three (3!) hobbit movies)
Since when is 600min 2 days? Thatâs 10 hours.
Actually, is there anything thatâs says it has to be the same people all the way through? Presumably they could cut it into 10 1h chunks and give it to ten teamsâŚ
Is there a rule that they canât just fast forward through it and run an audio analysis to see if there is any actual sound above x decibels on the audio track?
Free speech maximalists might call this âcensorshipâ, but I donât. As the organisationâs name says, itâs classification: not so much âyou canât show that!â as âyou canât show that without (pedantically) clear warnings about the content, from an independent third partyâ.
I agree with the point about this being an expensive stumbling block for indie productions, but not with the suggestion that classification is inherently A Bad Thing.
Two working days. Plus all the paperwork to fill out.
/and the drinking. Lots of drinking.
Canât wait for the sequel, âWatching Grass Growâ.
The AMA says itâs watched by two people, and they work a nine-hour day. I suppose they could watch half each, concurrently, but presumably not, if theyâre saying itâll take two working days.
Actually, the standard protocol is to watch in slow motion to be sure of catching any subliminal flashes of porn.
ÂŁ5963 ($8500 US)? Must be the artsiest, most high-minded film of paint drying ever. I have some leftover paint around and an iPhone. What else do you need?
You have to pay per minute when you submit your film for review.
Iâve long wanted to make a movie of paint drying, but in slow motion; shot at 3,000 frames per secondâŚ
This article doesnât make it as clear as the previous one did. ÂŁ5963 is the cost to have the movie classified by the British board of film certification. ÂŁ7.09 a minute. All of the other costs of making the movie (which he had already filmed) were borne by the filmmaker. He actually had 14 hours of footage, but cut it down to the size to match the amount raised.
Except: isnât the classification mandatory? And some classifications can result in a movie being banned? And theyâll suggest specific edits to content, and if the filmmakers donât go along with it, itâs refused classification (i.e. cannot be legally released), something they also used to do with scripts? That sounds like censorship to me.
