Dave Trainer

I'm in too....although I'm still nervous as to what Meryem has drempt up to close the year :) !

Count me in please :)

Count me in on this one.

I blew the last one. I was moving. I am almost done moving. What a hassle it has been.

Count me in and I will try to actually submit something this time.

I'll give it a shot, never entered a contest before. This does seem more up my alley though!

welcome chris. it's cool that signing up here is your 1st DVinfo post. i'm psyched!

and also glad to see you playing, josh...the DV Challenge hooks 'em, and then we reel em in!

and all the players, old and new. this is shaping up to be an interesting round.

Thanks! I also just switched cameras so it'll be good to have something definite to shoot with the new one.

please sign me up for this last shindig!

right on, bro, you gotta cleanse that whole horror shtick out of your vibe. do some wholesome family-oriented, planet-loving programming!

Please count me in on this one and I will try to stay out of the tank.

I couldn't do the last DVC so I will try this one.
Oh my, what am I doing?

Oh my, what am I doing?
You are joining a very good uwol friendship,
You get a very good excuse to get out in the nature,
You get a great opportunity to spend more time with your camera,
You get a chance to show the world your artwork,
...
...
And last but not least, you get a chance to follow rule #11: HAVE FUN!!

And learn all about Norway of course ;-) !!!

I'm a low level scum bag n00b but I'll definitely give it a whirl. I'm based in Wales, UK so I apologise now for all the rain!!

Can't wait now!

And learn all about Norway of course ;-) !!!

I think we should make that Rule #12.

Please let this first timer in, too :)

heeeey! i've been waiting for you to sign up for one of these things! i'm thrilled that you decided to show up. now all you have to do is finish, alper. and you better finish because i desperately want Turkey on my list of finishers. along with you, benjamin, because we want Taiwan to finish as well. you guys better post something, or i'm gonna have to fly on over there and finish your films myself! we need a better showing from those regions. i'm psyched you guys are showing up for our party at last!

Hey Dave, I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. PLEASE SEND RAIN!!!!!!!!

Hey Dave, I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. PLEASE SEND RAIN!!!!!!!!

Bob, I'll send all the rain you want. We have severe floodings in my area today. Got rain, rain and tons of more rain.
I'd gladly share with you. :)

Really good to see all the new comers.......a very big welcome :-) !!!

We should have a friendly team competition like the Ryder Cup, except with all the great stuff coming out of Norway, they have to stand the world !!

"The World vs Norway"

Chris, this sounds like a huge challenge from sunny California.
The vikings will be ready, hahahaha

I can't wait to the international uwol tour when we all together will get a chance to make videos from Australia, USA, Norway.... or wherever we visit.
It is great to see how many countries are represented in this uwol family.

what's happening! - it's been the 1st all day today in Australia -I need to get started :-)

The UWOL challenge works on Colorado time ;)

It's only been the 1st for 10h35m here in the UK !

Paul,
Meryem isn't awake yet I suppose, give her approx 5-6 hours from now on and I think you can run out in the Australian night start shooting ;-)
The world is still round, hmmmm.... ...and the guys at Apia, Samoa have still 10 minutes to sign up, when I write this...http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=282

BTW I'v send you an email about the short footage!

Im with you Paul, have been hangging out all day!.. its almost the 2nd now!

Paul,

wow, per, are you a mind reader or what?? (go see the theme!)

yes, the theme posting is on colorado time, although we try to compensate with our "anywhere in the world" open deadline.

fortunately, i am also on "Young Child Who Has Never Been a Good Sleeper" time as well, so your theme is posted, and sign-ups are officially closed! go get it!

you guys better post something, or i'm gonna have to fly on over there and finish your films myself!

Meryem, I just saw the theme, so when are you flying? I will load the tape for you!

Seriously now, I read the contest rules twice but I am still not sure what is allowed and what is not?
1) Documentaries and fictions are both accepted?
2) I guess inside walls shooting is forbidden. But shooting in a city is ok?

Sorry for these beginner questions,

Benjamin.

the mantra is, this is "a nature and outdoors contest"

so conceivably, say you were doing a macro thing, you could shoot plants and bugs in your house. so that would be an example of "nature" in your own home...so i don't want to say, "no indoors...." if you get what i mean.

(say now, there's an interesting night theme right there!!! with artificial light conveniently available, where is my tabletop tripod, i'm getting right on it....this NIGHT thing is gonna be a breeze!)

so shooting a city is okay, but i think you want to emphasize the city from a "nature and outdoors" perspective...

really, truly, we are quite liberal about our interpretations of things. this is a vehicle for helping you to make films of your surroundings. ("get out there and shoot something!") we provide the torture, in the form of the theme, but you get to be the creative agent of it.

if you're out to actually win this puppy--some of our contestants are more motivated by the prospect than others--a 50% weight is given to the theme in the judging.

(my feeling is that if you want to shoot and post whatever you want, we have the existing "under water, over land" or "show your work" non-contest forums--in fact, we hope that by entering a few of these, that you develop more skills and the confidence to post in the others....)

i hope this helps, i'm happy to answer clarifying questions, so don't be afraid to ask.

yes to both docs and stories. form matters less than the context--"this is a nature and outdoors contest"--keep that in your head and you'll be fine!

wow, travelocity to taiwan, very expensive!

Trond:

I am really enjoying seeing what we get to see from around the world. Its great to see how different we are but how much the same we all are at the same time....I'm just happy to be tagging along on this little adventure....

Chris,
Yes I agree with you. I am very happy to be part of this uwol friendship.
Good luck with your entry. I'm looking forward to see what you produce this time.
