How to Do the Quest
- 1
Agree that every filmed person gives clear permission and that no strangers, private homes, or identifying locations are included.
- 2
Choose a simple category, such as thirty-second comedy, silent mystery, or a four-shot nature story.
- 3
Plan a beginning, middle, and ending before recording any clip, keeping all filming on safe public or permitted private spaces.
- 4
Edit only as much as needed to make the story understandable, or arrange the same shots as a paper storyboard.
- 5
Hold a private screening where each creator introduces the film and the group shares one kind, specific response.
Quest Challenge
Can the group make a complete story while protecting privacy and keeping every clip under thirty seconds?
Pro Tip
A clear permission rule makes the project more creative because everyone knows the boundaries from the beginning.
