Are you allowed to use music that you payed for from iTunes??
Also, I don't really understand. What kind of video are we supposed to make? A sci-fi film?
EDIT: And how do you send a link for you to download?

First off: thanks, Sméagol, for organizing and starting this. That looks really interesting, and I would love to enter. Unfortunately, I probably won't. I'll concentrate on my actual project which is time-consuming enough. I don't think I can come up with something until the deadline.
Anyways, I wish everyone good luck and I am eager to see some interesting films at the end.

No, buying a song from iTunes doesn't qualify as obtaining the rights to use it. If you want music you'll probably need to make it yourself, find someone to compose music for you, or find some royalty-free stock music.
The answers to the rest of these questions can be found here. Making a Sci-fi film is acceptable but not the only way to use the theme.
Yeah.......I read that, I just don't really get it. Does it have to be about outer space?
No, it doesn't. As explained, "space" can be taken to mean outer space or any king of spatial relationship, it's open to free interpretation. And you only have to include one of the three (space, time, and reality) as an element in your film. They all go together though so hopefully films will encompass a broader spectrum of the theme than just a time-travel movie or something.
So, time. Does that mean you can make a video about clocks? (Okay, obviously not, but do you see what I'm getting at?)
Okay. I'm probably sounding annoying, this topic just seems really complicated.
So.....what exactly do you mean by "playing off of it"?
Really? So that kind of entry would make sense?
does the entry HAVE to be downloadable? I can't do downloadable.
It's downloadable on Vimeo/YouTube right?
LOVE this, I am starting set building right now.

Entries may not be made public before the deadline, so YouTube, Vimeo, and other such video websites will not be a good place to upload your film. We recommend uploading your film via a .zip archive to either your own hosting or a file hosting site such as MediaFire.
Sorry, but I'm not going to continue to answer questions that have already been addressed in the first post.

What would be good? (Besides MediaFire which I don't have)
