Hilariously recreate your favorite scenes and moments from movies and TV shows airing on TBS, TNT, and truTV.
If the words "life finds a way," "I'm Batman," or "Bazinga!" mean anything to you, then you've come to the right project. WarnerMedia is looking for you to recreate your favorite scenes, moments, quotes, and characters from everything from IT to Hot Ones: The Game Show. So get your dog or cat, your partner or kid, your roommate or that lamp you've started talking to lately, and get creating.
You can recreate, spoof, or meme any content currently running on TBS, TNT, and truTV. Filmmakers, animators, and anyone with an imagination and a digital camera (yes, that includes a smartphone) are welcome to participate and create a short video (up to :30). We're cool with home-made, lo-fi, DIY-style videos like this and this; we just want to see your funniest take on everything from Conan's infamous 'string dance' to Paul Rudd eating hot wings to Stan Lee buzzing off Thor's hair.
To see what's airing and streaming on the channels right now, check out the links below:
Chances are you have more than one hilarious idea, and we want to see it all. We encourage you to submit multiple videos.
You can also check out this blog post for some tips and tricks on how to best film yourself at home. You can also find a PDF version of this document in the Assets tab.
NOTE: Our priority is to make sure everyone is safe, and along with that, we’re working really hard to keep people working during this strange time. Our advice would be to submit only if you feel you can do something within the anticipated timeline that ensures everyone's safety given today's reality.
DELIVERABLES: One video up to :30. Your video should be 1x1 (square).
TIMELINE: For the full project timeline please see the Assets tab.
EXPOSURE: Videos will be posted on WarnerMedia-owned social media channels.
TONE: Funny, clever, ironic, nostalgic, goofy - really anything can work as long as it's entertaining!
EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES:
Think about some of the best memes you've seen, from IT luring people into the gutter to riffs on Chandler's iconic "Could I be any more..." lines. To get you started, here's a fun fan approach to a Wolverine meme:

In order to be considered for this project, you must include the below materials in your submission.
The 5 most compelling videos will be selected and, upon submitting the Winner’s Affidavit and the IP Assignment, will receive a $500 payment for their video. There's a strong chance WarnerMedia may pick more than 5 videos, so we encourage you to submit multiple recreations!
REVISION REQUIREMENTS: Once individual Videos are submitted, filmmakers will enter Revisions. During this phase, filmmakers may be asked to perform reasonable edits on their Videos according to the Sponsor’s feedback.
MUSIC: Tongal has partnered with three premiere music providers: Jingle Punks, Universal Production Music and Epidemic Sound, any of which can be used to source music for your video submission to this project. Music from these providers is available to registered Tongal members at no charge solely for their incorporation into submissions to this project and will not require a separate Music Release Form. To learn more about using each of these music providers, click on any of the providers’ names above.
If you choose to use custom/original music, you must fill out and submit our Music Release Form. If you obtain music from third-party catalog providers, you must purchase the appropriate license at your own expense and submit it with your license purchase receipt when you turn in your video paperwork.
ASSET DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS: You must also provide all project files, editing sequences and a 1080p .mov master file, using a ProRes, Animation, or Uncompressed Codec in order to submit final payment.
