4x4x48 Music Video Challenge – 2024

A bit of a misnomer – as we always enlist five teams – 4x4x48 gives 4 local directors and 4 local bands just 48 hours to make a music video from start to finish. Directors and bands are randomly paired, and songs are kept a secret until the challenge begins. Directors are also given 5 requirements that MUST appear in their video. Those elements are kept a secret until the clock starts ticking as well. Enjoy the results!

2024’s REQUIREMENTS

All five of the “elements” below were chosen by previous directors and were required to appear in each video. Elements can be interpreted within the filmmaking style, the imagery, or conceptually. How they are incorporated is up to the directors, some are easier to find than others…

1. Goofy Shades
2. Disc Golf
3. Mountains
4. Repetitive Action
5. A Spill or Something Being Spilled

The screening was held on November 16, 2024 at The Holland Project.
