After nearly 10 years in the community, I have hit this massive number. Thank you all for supporting over the years!

I figured due to this and the Oscars being on today, I figured I would announce the second Sol Film Festival!

For those who were not here when the previous one happened, you take your Pokemon OCs and put them in a scene or movie poster that draws homage to a movie of your choice. I then judge the entries and pick the best of both the writing and the drawn categories.

This year I am upping the ante. The winners of both categories get $100.

Here are some ideas for what you can do.

A recreation of an official poster for a film

A recreation of a poster or DVD cover for a rerelease of a film. For example a Criterion Collection or Arrow covers.

A recreation of a single scene from a film. This can be done via a text post or art.

The Hard Rules

You must use Pokemon OCs only. You can use either a gijinka form or pokemon form, or both depending on your film. However they must be Pokemon OCs in a capacity.

Do not do any of the Pokemon or Digimon films. The reason for this is that since the ‘actors’ we are using are involved in the pokemon universe more or less it would be too easy to do a scene straight up pulling something that is in the Pokemon universe. Digimon is also too close to being similar so I want to cut that off at the pass.

Do not do television movies or movies that are continuations of or are a compressed telling of a TV series. For example Psyche the Movie,FF7 Advent Children, Serenity, El Camino, Full Metal Alchemist Conqueror of Shambala and the Zeta Gundam films are off limits due to fitting that above criteria.

TV show adaptations as a whole are not banned though. As an example, you can do pieces involving films such as In the Loop, the Original or live action Ghost In the Shell, In the Loop, Lupin the First, the Get Smart movie with Steve Carrel, any of the Street Fighter Movies and Final Fantasy Spirited Within are allowed to be homaged as they are not following a continuity.

At the longest, keep it to one scene from a movie if you do the scene recreation. Do not recreate the whole movie from start to end. That would be way too much effort than is required

The length of each submission would have to be, at most, the length of a scene in a movie, or part of a scene if you are drawing. So imagine you are making a storyboard or writing a novelization of a single scene from a movie. Do not adapt the full movie.

You can do a homage rather than a beat by beat recreation. What you choose to do is up to your digression.

Do not just recreate memes. We all laughed at Tommy screaming “I am fed up with dis wurld” and we all remember “Garbage Day”, but if you just try to meme your way through this competition your entry will be disqualified.

Do not implement any characters from askbohemiancompany or omnipokemonproducts. While I would respect my characters having cameos in any capacity usually, I don’t want it to come off like that is the best way to influence who wins. So do not implement them in any capacity in your projects.

If you entered last time, do not resubmit the same piece you did last time. You have to make another one. You can still do the same movie however.

Some Other Helpful Facts

In case you need help with picking film you can feel free to reach out to me and I can help you find some options based off your taste and what platforms are at your disposal.

If you cannot be sent the money I am willing to pay for a commission on the winner’s behalf.

Try to pick films that are not blockbusters. This is not regarding films that are popular, more so stuff like Fast and the Furious, MCU etc. I won’t disregard these types of entries but I want this to be a chance for people to discover new films. It’s just like the Oscars!

If I like your post that means I have seen it. I will not comment any further and if you want me to reblog it and write my thoughts on it after the deadline let me know.

The deadline for all Submissions is June 12th. Please tag all submissions SolFilmFestival2023 so I can keep track of the submissions.

Reblogs are appreciated!

Two months left to submit pieces for this.

I should make a Michael Bay movie or something with lots of explosions. XD

Are there any people who would like an ask from voltorb? I'm a bit unsure whether or not to randomly start sending out asks cuz he's a tad aggressive and can be borderline nsfw with its jokes or responses.

Not to mention I need to draw him a ref. But just using the orb with the moustache is fine really.

((I could use some signal boosts its been 5 years!!!))
