2Weeks 2Make It is a music video competition pairing randomly drawn teams of filmmakers and musical artists who then have exactly 2 weeks to shoot and edit a music video from scratch!

The West Mids version of 2Weeks 2Make It is back again.

There were some great entries to the last one. If you want to take part then sign up on the website. If you’re not sure whether you should bother, here’s why you should.

Here’s my post on the winners of the last one.

And the winner of 2Weeks 2Make It is…

… the video for Wise Blood’s ‘TV Dinner Lady‘ by Stickleback Productions.

This was actually announced a couple of weeks back but I seem to have missed it. Well done to all involved – participants and organisers alike. (UPDATE – organiser Carl Timms has asked me to give a big thumbs up to Screen WM and Brumcast’s Little Chris for helping to find the bands).

The runner-up by the tiniest of tiny margins was the video for Fatboi 5’s ‘Bullet’, filmed by Andrew Goodman and Steven Spencer of team Hairwolf.
