A hard rocking entry from Ami Carter of Bite TV... Jimi Hendrix eat your heart out!
If you like that you should check out Bite TV, Channel 4's new online show. I think they are doing an interview about Overheated Symphony sometime soon....

More great stuff, RSS Feed now live
Hi all,
A work of great beauty and imagination from a Canadian film-maker. But we don't know who you are! For reference, we would like names and email addresses from all contributors so that we can credit you in the final production.
Here's the film.
We'd love to know your thoughts on the film - what does it provoke in you? How do you think it relates to OVERHEATED? Comments please...

when your phone gets overheated
Some great stuff came in over the weekend. We need MORE though, so get shooting. If you have any queries about the process then don't hesitate to mail us at overheatedsymphony@gmail.com. We're happy to help and taken any questions.
First really interesting video of the weekend - Polly Read's MARGATE RISING. What's brilliant about this is the way Polly creates such a startling vision of the landscape in-camera - the phone can't take the sunlight so the image distorts. Is that a mushroom cloud appearing on the horizon, or a hole in the atmosphere? See for yourself...

Operatic Meltdown
The end of week 1 of our search for inspirational films from around the globe and things are starting to heat (excuse the pun) up nicely... We've got culinary frustration, standby power, and now we have melting frogs.
A truly operatic take on OVERHEATED. Congratulations Hanna!

The Medium is the Message
Here's our pick of the first day's videos uploaded to YouTube:
OK. Things we love about this. First - it's a simple idea, executed really well. Second - it's got a story! In one shot! Third - it's a nicely abstract take on the concept of OVERHEATED, but one that made us think. Congratulations Rosie - great work.
See how easy it is! You don't need people, or editing, or scripts. Look around you. Where you are right now. Think about OVERHEATED. Shoot the first thing that comes into your head.

OHS - Making it Easier
So, we got our first videos up online today! BEV stalwart Rosie has done a load of cool films and we have our first overseas contribution from Zuzana Jochman. We're thrilled. Now that some people have tried out the process and given us some feedback, we've decided to come up with some ways of making it simpler for you to get involved. Here they are!
1. If you don't have a cameraphone, don't worry - we will accept footage shot on any camera. We like the raw aesthetic that you get from a phone or a home digital camera but hey, if you decided to get overheated in HD, that's cool with us.
2. If you're finding the whole uploading-to-Youtube thing a bit daunting, you can email the file (don't forget the title and your contact details) to overheatedsymphony@gmail.com and we'll upload it for you.
3. Keep checking in at the blog for sources of inspiration - we're going to post a film or an idea every day to inspire you . Starting in a minute!
