27 Sea Team BuildingMovie Making Challenge in Durban
Teams write, shoot and screen a short film on the day — a creative favourite for Durban year-end functions.
Teams are given a brief, a time limit and a smartphone, and must write, shoot and edit a short film before a final group screening.
Each team is handed a brief — a genre, a prop list, or a theme — and a strict time limit to write, cast, shoot and edit a short film using nothing but a smartphone. The day closes with every team's film screened to the whole group, judged and awarded.
It's one of our most creative formats and a genuine standout at Durban year-end functions and conference closing sessions, because it gives even the quietest team members a visible, memorable role in the final product.
