MILES O’BRIEN, KEIARA REDDY, JAIME MOLINA and ZABRINE BONOAN were the chief winners of our LAST TEST FLIGHT!
They dropped some of the most imaginative concepts and some of the most efficient new art that we’ve seen in a very long time!!
We’re working to develop their series PILOT chapters and we hope to unveil those soon!
But like all things, they need to GET THE HELL OUT OF YOUR WAY == because it’s time for our NEXT ROUND!!
TEST FLIGHT V.2 (2016) is here!!
FOR THIS CHALLENGE, WE WILL BE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT GENRES INVOLVING SPORTS AND HOBBIES.
EVERYBODY HAS A HOBBY OR TWO. FOR MOST OF US IT’S A WAY TO KILL TIME OR CHILL WITH FRIENDS, BUT FOR SOME IT’S A WAY OF LIFE. IT CONSUMES THEM AND COMPELS THEM TO NOT JUST BE GOOD BUT GREAT. REASONS FOR THIS VARY; SOMETIMES IT’S FOR FUN, SOMETIMES IT’S TO FULFILL A DESIRE THEIR ORDINARY LIFE CAN’T… BUT ALMOST ALWAYS IT REQUIRES SOME SACRIFICE ON THE CHARACTER’S BEHALF.
YOUR MISSION:
PRODUCE A MINIMUM OF FOUR PAGES TO A MAXIMUM OF TEN PAGES FEATURING YOUR CHARACTER ENJOYING THEIR HOBBY OR SPORT IN TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.
ONE SCENARIO SHOULD FEATURE YOUR CHARACTER PRACTICING THEIR SKILLS EITHER ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS/TEAMMATES.
THE OTHER SCENARIO SHOULD SHOW WHAT IT IS YOUR CHARACTER SACRIFICES FOR THEIR HOBBY OR SPORT, WHETHER THAT BE THEIR FAMILY LIFE, SOCIAL LIFE, OR EVEN JUST PERSONAL COMFORT.
EVEN THOUGH MANY PEOPLE MAY DISMISS HOBBIES AND SPORTS AS BEING “JUST A BIT OF FUN,” the question that we want you to be able to answer with your submission is, “WHAT IS IT THAT THE MAKES IT (aka the ‘sacrifice’) SO IMPORTANT TO YOUR CHARACTER?”
