For those of you still unfamiliar with the 24 Hour Video Race, here's the basic idea: teams must use a certain prop, line of dialogue, theme and place, then write, film and edit a 5 minute-or-less short in 24 hours. This year the prop was a key, the line of dialogue was "How much is this going to cost me," the place was a sporting venue and the theme: twist of fate. Film Guy John Meyer participated this past week as a judge for the high school and college aged teams. There is still one more screening of these 24 hour shorts, and it might be worth a look-see. Here are some of the better ones I could find on youtube:
Lost & Found
Forlorn
Schadenfreude

Is there any word on who won? Schadenfreude was my personal fav, followed by Reversible and Team Building (note: I was only there on Thursday, so I haven't seen all the vids).

Scott - you will be pleased to learn that you personal fave - Schadenfreude - did win in the Futurevision division.
First place among the other groups went to Dakota Rising (Pixelvision group), Catch & Release (Auteur), Found & Lost (Guerilla) and Team Building (Hollywood).

What were the respective divisions?

Scott - the two divisions I judged (Pixelvision and Futurevision) were comprised of high school and college-aged kids, respectively. And here's what the race guidelines have to say about the remaining (adult) categories: "Student teams compete against other student teams, but adult teams are categorized by team size rather than skill level, since most teams have a mix of professionals, novices, and everything in-between."
Thus I infer (without actually knowing) that Auteur would consist of very small teams, Guerilla teams might be made up of more crewmates and Hollywood would have more gaffers and key grips than you could shake a clapper board at.

i believe the breakdown was: auteur = 1-2 team members, guerrilla = 3-5 team members, and hollywood = 6+ team members.
note that actors don't count as team members unless they also serve as crew (holding mics, cameras, writing, etc).
