Get Started

To Submit:

  1. Select one of our assignments and make a film according to the subject guidelines.

    2. Worried about making a film? Check out our Tips page, which also includes all the legal stuff.

  2. Visit our FAQ pages for any unanswered questions.
  3. Include the mandatory FT9 End Slate (.RAR file 2.43MB / .AVI file 27.8MB) at the end of your film (although it won’t count as part of your total running time).
  4. Your submission must be on the following formats only: WMV, AVI, MOV or MPG file formats and not exceed 100 MB. Visit our FAQs to find out more about encoding tips to avoid possible frustrations.
  5. Don’t forget to include a thumbnail image for your film—it’s the first thing viewers will see before they hit “Play.”
    You can submit films beginning Jan 01, 2009 up until February 22, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. IST. We will then approve your film and make it live on the site. You will receive email notification when your video goes live on the site. Films that send hateful messages or don’t fulfill the guidelines of the Assignment will be rejected by email.

To Vote:

Have your say! You don’t have to submit a film to vote and comment on videos.

  • Beginning February 15, 2009 you can vote and comment on films. You can award from one to five stars. But remember, only one vote per video ! Only your most recent vote counts. Voting ends February 28, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. IST.
