Movie Geeks

SykkBoy - looks very interesting

Speaking of Dogme (yes I´m a movie geek)... then http://www.d-dag.dk/ also had a interesting "one take" project. Four dogme directors shot the D-dag project in Copenhagen.

New Year's Eve 1999-2000 it was shot using five cameras simultaneously. The cameras ran non-stop for 70 minutes from around 23.30 until 00.40 January 1 in the new millennium. Each of director followed their own character as each character was heading thru the crowded city for a common goal in order to carry out an outrageous plan.

Next day it was shown on 4 different TV channels - each following their own character. This made it possible for people to cut their own version via the remote control, or just follow the action from the character they found most interesting. However this made the movie a bit confusing for most people, and it was also hard to follow the action, if you changed channels too much. But it was fun to watch, and see how the actors had to improvise (they couldn´t say "cut" or do any "bloopers") + they had to be at different places at exact times, so the different character stories could cross for the final plot...

Don´t think they have released the movie on DVD, but it was an interesting project...
