CINESTUDY presents an Interactive Project and EDIT CHALLENGE! Anyone can download the raw footage and edit this short “mockumentary” film.
Below you can download the footage, then edit your own version, and upload it to any sites, as long as you use our complete credits and use the hashtag #cinestudy!
Our sponsors have provided some cool prizes for the best edits!

We have included all the raw footage from one of our demonstration scenes, this one a “Mockumentary” (faux documentary) called THE INTERN. There is no script for this as it was improvised.
DOWNLOAD ALL THE RAW FOOTAGE – CLICK HERE
Can’t handle UltraHD footage? LOWER RES FOOTAGE HERE
For this project we are providing all the A-Roll (the interviews) and the corresponding B-Roll. Watch all the footage and then edit this together as you feel it should be. Cut out what you don’t think is funny or what you think the audience might not like. Shape this comedy in a way that makes the edit your own.
During this COVID-19 crisis, the creators of Cinestudy have been affected financially. Please consider a donation to support the artists and educators that are giving these free filmmaking projects to the public. Any amount can help! Thank you.

This project is free, so all you have to do is use the credits, either on screen or in the description. A lot of people put in the time and talent to make these clips for everyone to use, so please make sure to credit them and use our hashtag #cinestudy
We will be doing a live streaming review show and we will pick 2 winners for prizes from our new sponsors, FXhome, SmallRig and Student Filmmakers Magazine.
DEADLINE is June 21st, 2020 for the prizes for this edit challenge, but the footage will remain available and free after that!

Thank you so much for this awesome resource. I’m a high school media teacher with a non-existent budget for raw footage. I will be sure to educate my students in giving credit to the creator as well.
