Are you up for a challenge?

We’ve teamed up with Film RiotActionVFX and BorisFX to bring you our most exciting competition yet. If you get involved, expect the next few weeks to be a lot of fun, you’ll test your creativity, push your limits and you may just get your hands on over $4000 worth of filmmaking tools to help you produce your next project!

The Inside-the-Box competition has no theme, but your entry must be created solely from ‘inside the box’ (at your home/place of residence). The winning clip will be selected based on the concept, quality, creativity, and effort that went into producing the finished product. We’re sure to see some impressive entries, so make sure you bring your A-game!


Inside-the-Box competition rules

There are only 3 rules to the Inside-the-box competition (but do make sure you read the full terms and conditions before entering):

  1. Your project must be created entirely from inside-the-box (at your home/place of residence).
  2. Entries must be no longer than 60 seconds in length.
  3. You must send your entry to competition@fxhome.com, with the subject ‘IN THE BOX COMPETITION ENTRY‘, no later than Tuesday 19th May at 23:59 Pacific Time (PDT).

Stay Safe!

We want to see some brilliant content over the course of the competition, but we also want to make sure you and everyone around you are safe. That’s why it’s vital (and a requirement of the competition), that you abide by all regulations enforced by your local authority with regards to social distancing, non-necessary travel, and self-isolation.

So there you have it, you have until midnight on Tuesday the 19th May to plan, produce, and submit your entries to competition@fxhome.com. What are you waiting for? Get your thinking caps on, and start thinking inside the box!
