Real Wild

Hardware / Submission Companion · ~15 MIN · FREE · LOCAL ONLY

Physical builds and stunts, plus the safety thinking and capture plan a wild entry actually needs.

Plan a physical production and the footage that proves it happened.

  • physical builds
  • safety and risk
  • capture plan
  • evidence of authorship
  • delivery as video

Lessons

  1. Wild means real

    A wild entry happens in the physical world and is judged from a recording. The idea and the footage are equally part of the entry.

  2. Safety is part of the craft

    Electricity, fire, height and moving parts all need a plan and a second person. An entry that hurts someone is not a good entry.

  3. Shoot it properly

    Steady framing, decent light and clean audio decide how the room reacts. Plan the shots before the build is finished.

Build and capture plan

Describe the build, then confirm the safety and capture steps you will take.
