One Minute Mills and Mongrels
Mongrels has already been host to some unexpected guests stars - from Biggins to Toby Anstis - so the news that Scott Mills will soon be popping up in an episode might not seem too unfathomable. But Scott, behind the scenes on his Mongrels shoot, has a further surprise for you! Watch and learn:
That's right! We'd like to see what you can do with footage of Scott and the Mongrels gang in...
The One Minute Mills and Mongrels Challenge!
Now we'd like you to make your own minute-long Mongrels video using greenscreen footage we will provide. Send it to us and it could be considered by the Mongrels production team for inclusion on the Mongrels website!
We're providing six different greenscreen scenarios featuring Scott and the Mongrels for you to use: Dancing! Dancing again! More Dancing! Driving! Fighting! Arguing!
They don't include any audio, so you can add your own music, dialogue and sound effects.
For example... your video could be a minute-long trailer for a Mongrels episode that hasn't yet been made - or for a Mongrels movie! Or instead of a montage, perhaps you'd like to focus on a sketch using just one or two of the clips. It's really up to you.
Here's a little something we came up with so you can see what we mean:
So what now?
If we like your video, we may embed it on this blog, or ask you to send us the video file to publish on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Mongrels programme page - and elsewhere! You will of course be credited for your work.

A few important tips
Getting Started
Want to have a go at this but don't know where to start? Good news! It's likely your home computer already has a basic video editing programme on it.
If you use Mac OS, this will be iMovie.
If you use Windows, this will be Windows Movie Maker (try your Accessories folder).
Greenscreen in iMovie
iMovie '09 comes with a greenscreen tool built-in. Here's a on how to use it. For older versions of iMovie (prior to iMovie '08), you will need to download a free plug-in, which can be easily found using a web search.
Greenscreen in Windows Movie Maker
Unfortunately WMM doesn't come with a built-in tool - but there are a number of easy methods to do it. One is to download a free 'keyer' program such as to change the background for you, before importing your clip back into WMM.
What to add to the clips
If you're thinking of putting anything explicit in the background or using copyrighted audio... don't bother. We won't be able to feature it on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ. But there's plenty of funny stuff you could do.
Aside from making your own backgrounds and audio, there are loads of places online to get royalty-free assets. In fact, you can still get fantastic stills, audio and video to use from our ye olde site, Comedy Soup.
What to do with your video
Once you've uploaded your video and shown all your mates, send us the link to where you've put it.

Arguing
Scott and Nelson have a bit of a tiff.
