UCOL Film-Makers Show Their Over and Undies

UCOL’s video students’ crime movie with the dubious title of Over and Undies was an audience favourite at the recent V48 Hour Film Festival.

The seven minute movie was the brainchild of second year UCOL Bachelor of Applied Visual Imaging (BAVI) students majoring in videography, and their entry into the iconic annual film-making event.

Over and Undies gained the Audience Favourite award for their heat in the Wellington region awards meaning the audience felt it was the best film amongst the nine other films entered in their heat.

It is the sixth year that UCOL teams have taken part in New Zealand’s largest film making contest and the second year it has been integrated as part of the second year BAVI course assessment.

The event is renowned for creating a frenetic weekend of film production by teams throughout the country. All teams are assigned a movie genre at 7.00 pm on the Friday night. They must then write their script, produce storyboards, arrange locations, costumes and props before their shoot begins on the Saturday morning.

The finished films must be received by the judges by 7.00pm on the Sunday evening.

UCOL Video Lecturer Mel Edmon says the students performed well under pressure. “We were pleased with our film,” she says. “There were some very tired people at the end of the weekend.”

Mel says she is keen to organize a screening of Over and Undies and other local V48 film entries at Downtown Cinemas.
