It has been a while since I’ve done the Thirty Six Frames challenge and I’m wondering if anyone will be interested to join me on another exciting (and sometimes stressful) one … this time … still shooting 36 frames but with a different theme/idea. Been toying around with this idea for a while now but I’ve yet to even try doing it myself (before inviting friends to join the fun). So … here is how it goes …
Capturing what we do in 12 hours
We shall pick a specific date and on that day … we will pick a time to start shooting. Let’s say we start at 9am … then we carry on with what we usually do on that day but we must take 3 photos every single hour. So we will take 3 photos from 9am to 9:59am … then another 3 photos from 10am to 10:59am. No specific time … as long as you squeeze out 3 photos during every single hour. Fun? Challenging? So by the time the 12th hour ends … we would have finished a roll of 36 exposure film. Easy?
What do we shoot? Anything related to what you will be doing on that day. For example … in the morning you can take a photo of you brushing your teeth, another photo of you sipping hot yummy coffee and another one perhaps a photo of your pet dog that you were playing with. Show us what you do. Show us what you see. Show us what you were eating.
How about the following date and time?
Date : 27th March 2011
Start : 9am
End : 9pm
As usual … the Thirty Six Frames projects are meant to be fun and thus we hope everyone enjoy shooting, sharing and have fun together. Try not to cheat. 😀 Of course nobody’s gonna know if you actually shot all the photos in an hour but hey … why bother? 😀
Can you use cameras like the Sprocket Rocker or Horizon? You can … but you have to make sure you submit 36 photos and not a few long ones from a roll of 36 exposures. Hahaha! Instant photos are welcomed too.
So how does this sound? Game enough? Anyone … anywhere in the world can join in the fun. It doesn’t matter which time zone you are in … as long as it is the 27th March in your side of the word … it counts.
I sure do hope friends from other countries will join in the fun … to add to the variety of images later when we merge them all. Oh … I’ll post another entry for submission details later. What I plan to do is perhaps after everyone submits their images … I’ll try post like 1 entry every day … for 12 days … and each entry will showcase all the photos taken for a particular hour. Just imagine how fun it will be looking at what we are all doing in different places at different time.
Shoot me an email (through the Contact Me page) or just let me know you are joining the fun in the comment box below. I’ll send out more info before the 27th. Any film camera … any film … will do fine. 🙂 There ain’t gonna be any prize/contest for this one but if the response is good … who knows I might be able to threaten some sponsors to throw in some prizes for the best set of photos? 😀
For those who are wondering what some of us had done in the past for the 36 Frames challenge … do check out my blog section here. Sorry if it is a bit messy at the moment. I’ll see how I can tidy up the stuffs later.
Count me in as your first!
@kaxdd : That’s super fast!!! Hahahaha! Great!
I’ve never joined any of the 36 frames project before! Count me in on this! Is there a prize? Like X100???
@cyanwater : My projects/challenges are not fit for Lomo Queen like you. Right?!!!! Hahaha! Great to see you joining us this time. Prize? Get ThirtySix to sponsor one! 😛 Yeah … they might even throw in the X100. I heard that the lady boss is rich, pretty and has a big big heart.
Mee!! Meee!!!!! Meeeeeee!!!
Yeah!!!! Four already!!! More! More!!!
Sounds fun! 🙂
Oh ok, I’ll let the boss know. I heard he may be sponsoring the QL17 G3 Black as prize!
p/s: To shoot without following the themes seems to be a little less interesting. 😛
I want the Black QL17 G3! I was going to buy it off mijonju but I was too slow!
@Bryson : So is that a ‘YES’? 😉
@cyanwater : Hahahaha! He told me about that cam! He said that you DON’T have one. Getting one to piss him off soon? 😉 Anyway … this time I thought maybe do something a little ‘freestyle’ and see what everyone is doing … at different places, with different people (naughty photos welcomed) but at the same time. 😀
@kaxdd : Let’s rob Jim when he gets drunk next time.
I don’t mind robbing the keys to ThirtySix… Hehehe~
Haha! YES! 😀
Err… I think you can rob his house instead. Don’t get me involved!
@ndroo: I told him I wanted that that’s why he grabbed it while I was out of town!!!
@kaxdd : Good idea!
@Bryson : Welcome on board! 😀
@cyanwater : He really did that? OMG! LOL! WTH! You didn’t slap him for doing that?
yawn.
@cyanwater : Oh since he did that … it proves that he is still having the same problem like when he bought that endoscopy camera. LOL! Has he shoved the tube up his butt yet? 😀 LOL!
Jim pretending not to notice what cyanwater said. HAhahahaha!
So … Jim … are you in (for the challenge)? 😀
@ymmij : Wake up! Still having hangover from last night? 😀 😀 😀 So are you in?
i havent read post… reading the comments first. lol!
@ymmij : Hahahaha! Must be feeling guilty!!!
and of cos i’m in! lol. we’ll probably have the same pics… beers.. hmm..
Nevermind! I know where’s the camera now!
His pics will be the same as noreen’s, not you!!!
@ymmij : Is that the Sunday that we are supposed to be at some place? :O Oh … oh … not bad too!!!! 😀
@cyanwater : Hahahahaha! Why? He copies her?
feel wanna give it a try, please count me in 🙂
I’ll definitely do it 😀
I’m in fo’ shizz!!
Me too!! I also want to play!
Awesome! Will post more details … perhaps early next week. Get your cameras ready! 😀
i’m in! if i wake up at 9am that is.
With all these response, I do believe you can threaten your sponsors 😀
Count me in. Though I can’t really promise how long will it take for me to process my film.
this sounds like a great project, i’m in as well!
one question: when would you want us to send the images, would there be a deadline? 🙂
Hmmm… I’m wondering how do we send the 36 images to you? By DVD and post? Or through flickr or other web based photo sites?
Yeah!!! This time it is gonna be big fun with more people in the challenge.
I’ll post more details about submission etc later but meanwhile … we will stick to the date & time mentioned above ok?
@kaxdd : You can send me the images using yousendit.com … just make sure they are resized for the web. Width will be 600px max ok?
@Sapphire St : Welcome to the party! So how long will it take to get your roll processed? :O
@ana : After the date (27th March), maybe we can schedule to pool the images by mid April. Then I can arrange them and post them accordingly. Two weeks should be enough time. Right? 😀
@ndroo: yes. i’m moving to another country in the meantime (and i’ve already packed the scanner) but 2 weeks should be plenty of time 🙂
@ana : Yeah I read this line ‘but i like traveling too much to stay in one place for too long’ … and I do understand why you need more time. Hahahaha! Cool then. Looking forward to see your photos. 😉
Yeah I’m in ! 🙂
*hands fab a beer*
Cool~ I will get my camera and film ready by then! Do count my girlfriend in as well! She’s interested in joining too!
Update : We have 3 more friends contacted me thru email … to confirm joining the fun!
ON ON ON!!!
@evaeva : ON!!! Hahahaha! Do let me know if you change your mind and need 10 people to give you a wake up call on that day ok?
hi ndroo!
i’d like to join in too!
hi ndroo!
i’d like to join in too!
Me too!
@Qianzhi & Crystal : Great to have you with us.
I’m losing track of how many people are gonna be joining us for this fun challenge. Hahaha! Nevermind. Just remember to wake up on that Sunday … then snap snap snap all the way.
i’d like to be in, too… can you somehow confirm that? thanks, stephan
@mephisto19 : Oh yeah! It is definitely confirmed. 😉 Can’t wait to see the results!
