It turns out you only need six seconds to make a bizarre, funny or even touching film.
That's been proven this year by the finalists in 2015's #TROPVINE competition, where filmmakers make an extremely short looping film on Twitter's video platform, Vine. To enter, competitors simply had to create a clip featuring this year's theme item, a "card."
Launched in 2014, #TROPVINE is a partnership between Tropfest, a short film festival that started in Australia but is now global, and Twitter Australia.
On Wednesday, the winner was announced from a pool of 20 finalists, and Vine user "thedarclaud", whose real name is Claudia Pickering, took out the prize with her six-second joke about wild animals. As the winner, she'll take home A$5,000 cash, a Nikon 1 V3 Kit with a 10-30mm lens and a trip to Sydney, among other prizes. She was very excited.
Congratulations to Claudia @thedarclaud for winning #TROPVINE 2015 (Vine by @TROPFEST) https://t.co/S2ISVSOC6j— thedarclaud (@thedarclaud) August 12, 2015
