Any footage shot must be filmed during competition weekend. Stock footage or footage shot or created at another time is allowed, however, it must be part of a post-production effect or on a background monitor, i.e., a television, as long as your team has permission to use the footage, and the stock footage is placed over or under footage that is shot within the Official Shoot Weekend. 

Stock footage that is allowed includes explosions, fires, chromakeyed backgrounds, bullets, etc. Stock footage of people or other performers is not allowed.

Pre-made sequences or compositions that are available for public use via purchase or download are permitted if a majority of the frames contain content (text/images) created within the Official Shoot Weekend. The pre-made portion of the sequence may not include people or other performers.

Still photographs are permitted once your team has the rights to the photos. The photos do not need to be created during the Official Shoot Weekend, but still created outside the Official Shoot Weekend may not be used in sequence to create the illusion of motion.

All allowed stock footage, pre-made sequences, and still photographs must be accompanied by the Materials Release Form showing that the team has the rights to use the photos.
