I saw something about this on TV this weekend

The show was specifically about the Atlanta 48 hour.

One of the things that I really like about this competition is that they set certain parameters.
Like each contestant must use the following in there production;
Must include a Woman in a Blue Dress
Must include the line "I know we can do it".
Must include a man doing jumping jacks.
Things like that are required for everyone to use in their production.
Then they assign each contestant a genre, like; Horror, Suspense, Cowboy Musical, Comedy, ...
No one knows what genre they will get until just before they start production, then they have 48 hours to put together the entire movie.
I think we could use some of these ideas in future Muvipix contests, sounds like lots of fun
