[Theme] Movie Scene

January 10th, 2011
Hello guys!

A big well done to Kelly for winning lasts weeks Silhouette theme - http://365project.org/kellyhaysley/365/2010-12-31

Unfortunately Kelly never got back to me with a theme choice so I have selected this weeks as "Movie Scene"

This is something I've wanted to do for ages, I love still captures from films depicting a gangster meeting, a heated argument, or 2 people in a car through the windscreen. (maybe all 3 at the same time). I'm looking for a scene you've set up yourself, not an image of a T.V set, really looking forward to see what you come up with.

Please tag your entries with the tag theme-moviescene

-------------------------
Entry to this theme starts on Monday (10th January) and will accept entries until Sunday night (23:59 GMT 16th Jan). 5 finalists will be chosen next week and we'll vote on the winner then.

Entries must have been taken and uploaded this week only! Entries outside of the date range will not be accepted in to the final 5.

@Scrivna
....moviescene?? Ross,you are a GENIUS! Best theme,ever!
January 10th, 2011
This is a really fun theme, I start thinking of scenes immediately. All the best of luck to you Ross, hope you have enough time for all those Blue-series!
January 10th, 2011
I love this idea. What a challenge! Better get my thinking cap on as well!
January 10th, 2011
Awesome theme!!!!! I'm so bummed that I did my Cinderella photo a couple months ago!! lol Can't wait to do this one!!
January 10th, 2011
Hello Ross (and all),

I misunderstood and was thinking that theme voting continued thru Sunday night, however I suppose we are in different time zones and I just keep forgetting that ! Therefore I failed to check my email in a timely manner. So sorry.

Anyway, I am so flattered by all the positive feedback I received for my silhouette photo. Very proud to be a part of the many talented photographers on 365 who keep me challenged and inspired.
I was going to choose "Motion" as the theme, however since I'm a bit "time zone challenged", I appreciate the selection of theme. (Will keep "motion" in my back pocket for hopefully another win someday). :)
Thanks again to everyone !! I'm very excited to have been in the top 5, and very honored to have been voted #1 .
Happy Shooting !
Kelly Haysley

I don't know if I can pull this off, but I will most definitely try. :)

Congratulations, Kelly! I voted for that one---your shot was absolutely gorgeous. :)
January 10th, 2011

January 10th, 2011
This will be an interesting theme. I will keep my eyes on the entries. I don't think it'll be one I'll be entering. I'm movie challenged. :)
January 10th, 2011
I LOVE this theme idea!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!! Congrats to my cousin kelly, so well deserved!!
January 10th, 2011
Wow, this is going to take some serious imagination.
January 10th, 2011
Challenging theme. Look forward to seeing creativity of all.
January 10th, 2011
Very challenging. I will have to think about it and use my little notepad to write ideas down. I have a lot of favorite movies to pick from!
January 10th, 2011
YES THIS THEME WILL BE BEAST
January 10th, 2011

January 10th, 2011
hmmm .... interesting. If anyone has any ideas for this one to help me out.. I only learned how to take photos using the manual function this week so this theme is going to be challenging!!!
January 10th, 2011
Movie THEMES?? Holy crap! This makes me think outside the box..I hope I can come up with something... we'll just wait and see! :D
January 10th, 2011
Oh boy... hmmm.... this will be a challenge.
January 10th, 2011
I am wondering if the users here get to vote on the final entries or if the winner is chosen by someone or a committee. If it's a voting thing, could you tell me where that's done. I've looked all over and can't seem to find the finalists and a voting option. Thanks.
January 10th, 2011
@dvarey Some time later in the week Ross will open a discussion called "[Vote] Blue Theme" (this is what last week's Vote-thread looked like for Silhouette ... http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/2925/vote-silhouette
Ross will have selected the 5 finalists, and the winner is based on the total number of votes received for one of those pictures, based on the votes being publically receorded in the [Vote] thread. If you look under the Disucss/Themes and Competitions menu you will find all the Vote threads since day dot.
January 10th, 2011
@kellyhaysley congrats on the win!! Your shot is brilliant :D
January 10th, 2011
@eleanor This weeks theme is movie scene.. LOL Blue was a couple of weeks ago. :D
@dvarey In the opening post Ross explains how this works and how to vote.
January 10th, 2011
Congratulations Kelly, your photo is definitely a winner.
January 11th, 2011
Hmmm! A challenge! This is gonna be tough...hopefully I can find one! :]
January 11th, 2011
Do I need to post a picture for Tuesday-Sunday, and each picture has to be something related to a movie scene? Or just use one as long it's included this week and tagged with the 'moviescene' part -
Let me know if that's correct. Thanks!
January 11th, 2011
congrats Kelly for your awesome photo!!

OMG! what a theme!!! this is so challenging, we be picking the brains of everybody for this! ahaha! i cant wait for your entries guys! i will try my best, let's see!!
January 11th, 2011
Congrats Kelly! This is a fantastic theme idea!!!
January 11th, 2011
Just wondering, is it allowed to submit more than one entry?
January 11th, 2011
@cindyisboring
It ends on sunday.So yeah,you can do it all week. Each one of my daily photos will be for the theme.
Or did you mean more on a single day? Yeah,if you have an ACE account and upload on a secondary album.
January 11th, 2011
loving this theme, but I have more ideas than days :D
January 11th, 2011
@selardore Me TOO!!!
January 12th, 2011
so how many entries is one allowed???
January 12th, 2011
So far I entered two.. I probably will do just four. :)
January 12th, 2011
@rmcbuckeye You do not have to post a theme pic . . . you can post whatever you want every day. If you do want to join in the fun and enter the theme just tag your photo appropriately as theme-moviescene.
January 12th, 2011
@lynnmwatson Thanks! Appreciate it. :)
January 12th, 2011
@robynelizabeth One a day for the week. If you have an Ace Membership you can enter more via a second album . . .
January 12th, 2011
@lynnmwatson thank you :-)
January 13th, 2011
I love this theme! I've used it for many shoots, but with more time to prep. Looking forward to the entries.
January 13th, 2011
I can't believe that I actually participated in this (I am very much an amateur) but, as I explained under my photo, I needed some inspiration. Now I just hope people will actually see it!
January 13th, 2011
for some reason my entries are not showing?! and I have done 3 .... hopefully there is just a delay?
January 13th, 2011
Where can I vote for the moviescene image? My favourite is Kelly's again at "Heart of the Sea" from Titanic.
January 13th, 2011
@brit voting won't be for a while we are still submitting our photos. He then picks 5 then we vote on those.
@ alison there is a delay of a few hrs.


I have done 3 and I think I have one or two more in my mind/ arsenal...
January 14th, 2011
Having worked on movies and taken many pictures on set, this feels like quite the stretch when you have to re-create and capture a 'scene'! I will see if I can pull one out...
January 14th, 2011
This has been a hard.
January 14th, 2011
This sounds like a great idea! I love movies and I've seen my share of them! Can't wait to get thinking about an idea for this one :D
January 15th, 2011
Man, I have drawn a complete blank every time I begin to even think about this theme...however, I can see how this will make it easier to pick a winner this week ;) Hehehe Looking forward to seeing what people come up with!
January 15th, 2011
@Scrivna Ross..this is unrelated to the contest, but I really don't have any idea how to contact you..so do you think you could read my topic and then tell me what I should do? (I just don't feel like re-explaining the whole thing on here) http://365project.org/discuss/general/3280/blocking
January 15th, 2011
@Scrivna - hey for some reason my entries are not showing... i was wondering as a newbie if i am doing soemthing wrong?
January 15th, 2011
Do we have to send the photo to anyone or is just adding the tag the entry itself?
January 15th, 2011
@merrymunky You just upload and tag it, and that enters it into the 'contest'
January 16th, 2011
I've been having a TON of fun with this theme! I did a series of three pictures with sort of a spy theme. This one is my favorite, I'd love for you to take a look! :) http://365project.org/refriedradio/365/2011-01-12
January 16th, 2011
@amorton1437 Thank you :-)
January 17th, 2011
Hey, Ross, the site is still showing this as theme of the week...
January 17th, 2011
@geertje the theme for this wek is mid air.... It was posted yesterday but probably hasn't a lot of hits yet.
More hits= higher standing on the topic board.
January 17th, 2011
@matejaseliskar Yes, I know, I pasted my first picture for the theme today. But on the bottom at the right side is always the theme of the week and a link to the browse-entries
January 28th, 2011
How do you find out what the theme of the week is...where do you find this info on the website? Thanks
