Project Tips
CONCEPT
Simplicity Simple is good.  Simple is quick.  Come up with a simple idea and have fun with it.
Doability Can your concept be done with a few people in just a couple of hours?
Entertainment Value Whether it's scary, funny, or art in motion, your idea should be compelling, something people will want to watch.
