EDIT CHALLENGE – 16mm Short Film License Exam

CINESTUDY presents EDIT THIS — a hands-on filmmaking project designed to give you real-world experience. We are providing all the raw, unedited footage from the 16mm comedy short film LICENSE EXAM for you to practice your craft and create your own unique cut.

Want to help Cinestudy out? Please consider getting us something on our Amazon Wishlist! Anything you can do is greatly appreciated https://a.co/58RUcTs

This project emulates the authentic director/editor relationship. Because this was shot on celluloid, the footage is M.O.S. (no sound). You will experience the process of syncing external audio with the clapper board, just like a professional film production. We’ve provided 4K transfers of the 16mm film along with all original audio files and the screenplay.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Read the Script: Start by reading the screenplay to understand the story and pacing.
