March of the Penguins...The Tribute

This film was an entry in the 2008 Fischgaard short film project (Aberdeen, SD). You have 47 hours to make a film with 3 required elements, and a randomly chosen genre.
The elements were:
Prop: A for sale sign
Character: Terry Shumaker an educator
Line: "Get the cotton out of your ears"

Our genre was "Tribute/fan film" After much deliberation we settled on trying to tribute March of the Penguins. We hope you like it.

This was an official selection for the 2008 South Dakota Film Festival.

way funny, good job! I was watching vid's with my 3 year old daughter b/c she loves penguins and I stumbled on this one-I sent her away for the mating ritual, though! you have a great sense of humor and great creativity. I guess "sophie" in the credits is the predator dog?

Thank you. And yes, Sophie is the dog.

I loved your movie, Jon. Just one question...Where the hell did you get all those penguins?

[SpottedEarProduction]

What can I say...the retail scene in Aberdeen came through when I needed it.

I got the stuffed ones at the Mall (Herbergers & Book Store) and the little ones were found at Klein's & Target.

this video so would've won if you would've had one of the things you were missing.. i dont remember what it was.. but i was there :)

Your movie was so good. I was very entertained and I meant what I said about your team in the Q&A. I think there were a few unjust things that happened this year. Hopefully some rules will be a little more specific next year.

Again, brilliant work!!!!
