07 Questions

Everything else

What exactly am I making?

A one to three minute festive brand film. Pick any brand, then tell a Malaysia Day story through it.

Can I come without a team?

Come anyway. Check-in at 08:45 pairs up people who arrive alone.

Do I need to know these tools already?

No. That is what the morning workshops are for.

Do I have to use Topview?

Yes. Topview is the AI video agent you will be building with, and every team gets credits for it. The morning workshop takes you from a blank project to a finished cut, so you do not need to arrive knowing it. Other tools are fine alongside.

Can I turn up with work already done?

No footage, edits or renders made before 10:45. Ideas, scripts and storyboards are fine.

Who owns what we make?

You do. Entering lets us show your film in recaps and on social, and nothing else.

How many places are there?

Registration closes once the room is full. Teams are confirmed by email.
