Fifteen Famous Minutes will see teams juggle with egos and control airtime
while lighting up the silver screen with their own Hollywood classic.
Stay and watch the credits of a movie and you can’t help but be amazed at the number of
people and skills it takes to turn an idea into a cinema blockbuster.
Just what it takes to get a team to come together to create a movie is encapsulated in Fifteen
Famous Minutes. It brings all the glitz, glamour, creativity and hard work of Hollywood right
into your conference — delivering an experience that is lots of fun and hugely entertaining from
start to finish.
Teams are challenged to make their own 15-minute version of a famous Hollywood all-time
classic movie. Each team’s studio is kitted out with everything they need to turn the supplied
detailed synopsis of their allotted film into movie magic including costumes, props, make-up, music, lights and the all-important
camera; right down to clapper-boards and directors’ chairs. As film-making is a complex business, skilled technical support is
always on-hand and participants will be given extra guidance with acting, make-up and camera workshops.
Time is tight, so teamwork, strategy and efficient implementation of roles and tasks will be critical to success. Planning, scripting
and rehearsing soon give way to on-location shooting — perhaps the biggest challenge of Fifteen Famous Minutes. As all
editing takes place in-camera, every shot must be meticulously planned and shot in sequence.
Fifteen Famous Minutes ends with a premiere showing of all the films at an Oscars-style awards ceremony, where the efforts of
everyone are recognised and enjoyed.
