GFF Trailer

Request a New Group

Group Profile

So, we asked members within the Central Station community to submit their ideas for our GFF Trailer competition. The call was open for one month and we were looking for proposals along with simple sketches, storyboards and materials to support the application.

We have been delighted with the quality and the number of responses from the community and would like to thank all members who submitted a proposal for consideration. Working with representatives of GFF, GFT and ISO Design, we are now happy to announce a shortlist of four Central Station members for commission: Allistair Burt, Lucy Elliott, Patrick MacDonald and Kim Stewart. All four have now moved into the development phase on their project ideas, at the end of which one proposal will be commissioned. The successful designer will then have two weeks to produce the trailer with GFF and Central Station's supervision.

Join this group for updates on the trailer project, be the first to hear how the development is going and let us know your thoughts by adding your own comments.

Congratulations to Patrick Macdonald - aka Paddy Mac - He is our GFF Trailer winner. His project COLOUR moves into production this week.

Well done to the four finalists who battled it out in development the last two weeks,everyone's commitment and effort was amazing and some great collaborations are now established.

    • GFF_TRAILER_TEST.mp4

    • As usual I took some prettty radical departures from my original idea before pulling myself together and distilling it all into something which I hope begins to form a concise idea! The video attached is just a little test I did to demonstrate the approach. I didn't have enough time to produce a complete animatic of the whole trailer!

    • GFF2010 very rough test animation

    • This is my first draft attempt at illustrating how I see the image in my pitch being animated. Long way to go though to get it finished.The music is just dropped in to avoid it being to boring - still working on how the final piece should sound - any suggestions?
    • GFT Teaser

    • My proposal for the GFT trailer & sting is a keystone cops with a hint of Benny Hill chase through the streets of Glasgow. It would be a mixture of maybe live action shots of Glasgow streets with animated film stars being chased by the paparazzi. If this isn't possible then I would have the animated characters running through a collage of glasgow scenes with them hiding in the GFT watching a movie with the logo & sponsorship coming up on the screen as an intro. I have put together a small flash movie with a taste of what I had in mind for the characters. John Wayne could be on a horse, the thought of Humphrey Bogart & Katherine Hepburn coming up the Clyde on the African Queen comes to mind, with Leo Di Capprio & Kate Winslett in a life raft/ice flow with penguins looking on. I would incorporate a mixture of Hollywood of old & the latest stars of today. The other idea would be to produce a hollywood style red carpet parade of stars entering the cinema with lots of photographers & flash lights going off, crowds of fans cheering. With the cinema getting fuller, showing it bulging, then exploding with lots of shooting stars coming at you with the GFT logo & details.

  • Hello tartanbaffies,

    Thanks for sharing your proposal here. Great to see you, and the others who submitted, talking about your concepts and where they've come from. There'll be some more coming soon on the process of the GFF submissions too.

  • I added a wee trailer to the feel I was after for my proposal. Here is a rough storyline I put together for my fim;-
    My proposal for the GFT trailer & sting is a keystone cops with a hint of Benny Hill
    chase through the streets of Glasgow.
    It would be a mixture of maybe live action shots of Glasgow streets with animated
    film stars being chased by the paparazzi. If this isn't possible then I would have the
    animated characters running through a collage of glasgow scenes with them hiding
    in the GFT watching a movie with the logo & sponsorship coming up on the screen
    as an intro.

    characters. John Wayne could be on a horse, the thought of Humphrey Bogart &
    Katherine Hepburn coming up the Clyde on the African Queen comes to mind, with
    Leo Di Capprio & Kate Winslett in a life raft/ice flow with penguins looking on.
