Not sure if this interests anyone - but details are below.

TAC Minister John Lenders today called on young filmmakers to enter a film competition to raise awareness about the dangerous risks young people take on the road.

The Comp: Make a Film, Make a Difference

Required entrants to submit original concepts to win one of two $20,000 grants to make a short-film highlighting the dangers.

He said the competition was open to people aged 25 years and under and was part of the TAC’s drive to reduce the incidence of road trauma among young people.

The two winners will be given a $20,000 production budget to make their film, access to a mentor or producer and a $5,000 grant to assist with future filmmaking. It is planned that their films would be screened in Victorian cinemas at the end of the year.

FURTHER INFO

OPENS: The competition opens today.

CLOSES: The closing date for entries is 17 June.

Details including a brief are available here.

how many 3fast 3furious movies are people gonna make.

if i had the time to think of an idea i'd love to enter this just for the fun i have when making movies etc

actually, an idea i know will certainly not win: midlle aged non-import driving conservative business men and women, swerving, speeding and weaving through traffic, in car shot of the man/woman looking in review mirrion and *though* "come no barstard let me in" then cuts in front of someone while the car in front actually stops for a red light and BANG car crash. "if you're middle age, and arrogant, you're a bloody idiot"

what am i talking about, that never happens......................... *swear*

I need a new Mac - but am too old :)

Here's two ideas if anyone wants to milk them...

1. Tram passenger alighting hit by car

---------------------------------------------

Scene: 4WD picking kids up from school in inner suburban area eg: Hawthorn. Kids jump in back and are f*cking around (as kids do). Mum looks agitated (as mums do).

Scene: More kids (older and in uniform) get on tram and are f*cking around (as kids do).

Scene: 4WD seen in traffic on major road - can see tram up ahead.

Scene: Kids on tram laughing and joking and generally being little twats (like normal kids).

Scene: Kids in car messing around - mum turns to yell occasionally - can tell traffic and kids stressing her. She overtakes another car with gusto (prob driving an X5 - sweet :)). Can see she closer to the tram now.

Scene: Tram stopping (lights flashing) - show mum yelling at kids again

Scene: Inside tram kids saying goodbye to one kid who is getting off. Show kid stepping out door and... WHAM - 4WD hits kid and he's gone.

Scene: From behind tram show 4WD slamming on brakes and skidding to stop. Too late...

Scene: Emergency services on site. Cops with mum - blanket pulled over kid on stretcher.

TAC Logo & something about paying attention in busy traffic.

2. Slogan for drink driving

-------------------------------

Good for holiday period messages.

Show guy drinking at party with buddies. He seen with beer and also soft drink. Not maxi-smashed, but could go either way.

Ballsy voice over guy - "if you are going to drink and drive these holidays..."

Cut to dude's face looking up (from stretcher) with blood and hollow, lifeless eyes - car in bg wrapped around pole or bus or something. Medics pull sheet over guy and pick up gurney to put into Ambulance.

"... don't get carried away"

TAC logo.

There you have it.

Both billion dollar ideas. Use them and profit!

I want props though - make it that the 4WD has Golgo plates ;)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
