Fastest a movie has come together for you?

[Tinalera]

Okay, I'm a newbie and this is the newbie forum, and I didn't want to go OT with any other thread, so here's the question: What's the quickest you've had something come together from start to finish? (Idea to product on the puter/DVD/what have you)Example, I got one of those 2am ideas that I started next morning(or that morning). 5 Min short, Story has no dialogue, one actor and one setting(inside a house). It's like I had the ideas in my head where to set up the shots and what angles to use in advance. I filmed the bulk of my footage in a two days, still have some more to do, and I could maybe have this thing finished in a week if I rushed it(which I'm not inclined to). I just wondering if I'm missing something. Is it because of the circumstances that footage gets done that quickly?

Anyone else have one of those stories that pretty much told itself in advance?

48 hours.

I entered one of those 48-hour film challenges (not the big known one). It wasn't local, either.

So I really had about 24 hours, and used the next day to overnight the finished dv tape to New York.

Not one of the smarter things I've done.

The film was crap, too. But hey, that's nothing new.

I did this on election night, from idea to final cut in about two hours:

You'll note I wasted no time setting up lights or correcting the color! Just wanted to sum up the time I wasted following politics for the previous year and figured there was no better way than by cutting a real short film from a real simple idea.

Did you do anything trivial, like, oh I don't know, eat or sleep during this time? To just get a product in that amount of time...wow!

I found that funny-the bottle with the "vote" was a nice touch-drive you to drink did it? I myself found myself wondering..."yeah, okay, now what?" *L*
