Production Documents
A very important part of filmmaking are the production documents. Without them your freshly made movie could run into legal issues, and/or not be screened. We’ve got you covered with all of these documents.
Document Deadlines
The Team Leader Agreement, and Entry Fee MUST be submitted by the Kickoff. All other documentation must be submitted by 7:30pm on Sunday.
Team Leader’s Agreement
1 per team, due before start of Kickoff
This document must be signed by the registered team leader, to indicate agreement to the OOTC48 rules and requirements.
Wrap Up Form
1 per team, fill in online, due at 7:30 pm on Drop Off Sunday
We want to know the details! What happened during your movie making weekend?
Team Roster
1 per team, fill in online, due at 7:30 pm on Drop Off Sunday
Not a document per se, but fill it in on your team page. We use it to take names from, in case you win an award, but we also like to see who’s on your team.
Waiver and Release Form
1 per cast/crew, due at 7:30 pm on Drop Off Sunday
This is a combined Talent Release and Liability Waiver Form. Each member of the cast and crew must sign a separate form. Remember, this form helps protect you, the team leader, as well as OOTC48.
Music Release Form
1 per song/artist, due at 7:30 pm on Drop Off Sunday
Every song and piece of music must have a signed Music Release Form, signed by the owner and/or composer of the piece. For example, if the song was composed during the weekend, the composer signs the form. If the piece of music came from a music library, the person who purchased the library signs lists the name of the library on the form.
Materials Release Form
1 per item/creator, due at 7:30 pm on Drop Off Sunday
This form is used for sound effects, photographs, stock footage as part of a post-production effect (including relevant video filters) and other materials.
Location Release Form
1 per location, due at 7:30 pm on Drop Off Sunday
This form is signed by the owner (or other person responsible) by the location you film your movie.
