I'm not personally looking to get into the film aspect of video, but I've worked with friends at school on 24 hour and 48 hour film contests. My role generally is the technical director/support. I also shoot and clean up the final edit and handle final export to needed formats. We did these more for fun and experience than actually trying to win anything. Also, when the school is paying for everything it makes it a lot easier. Here are some the the short films we've done for the 24 and 48 hour film contests.
Our first 48 hour contest in 2008.

24 hour contest 2009. A good example of why not to shoot green screen for a 24 hour contest. I told them if the render goes bad there is no time to fix it, but noooooo. Oh yeah, try to ignore the lav mics (our boom mic died at the beginning of shooting).

48 hour contest 2009. Our genre was "superhero" and by the end of shooting we didn't have a name for the hero. So, the group used The Defenestrator that I suggested when brainstorming. However, he defenestrates nothing. People don't think rationally when lacking sleep.

24 hour contest 2010.

Got to shoot with the Red One for this one. I wish we got to do a lot more with the Red, but learning the camera and workflow at the same time as shooting and editing restricted what we could do. Oh, and forgetting a tripod for this beast of a camera is a bad idea. Thankfully, a dolly, apple boxes, and sandbags came to the rescue.

A random video we did because we needed to spend some extra money the school gave us. So we rented 2 HVX200's and used a friend of mines Sony Z5U and T1i to shoot a video of the St. Paul 2010 Red Bull Flugtag. This was a lot of fun!

And finally a quick video I did for a short time I had a Canon 7D.
