2. How to participate
The first step is go out and shoot a great student film. Done? Good.
Next step is to encode your film in the proper format to ensure the best quality at the lowest file size. Once your film is a digital file, upload it to your IFS space. Make sure to publish it in your Public>html directory.
When you are done, the web address of your movie will be http://www-personal.umich.edu/~uniqname/name of movie.mov . Remember the address so you can type it into the submission form.
If you have any problems, send us an e-mail
