I've been a loyal viewer, part time participant for years, but it's good to be more involved here.
It’s good to have you more involved here, Joseph. Wait until the feedback—that’s when the real fun begins! :)

Finished shooting (with help from dear old dad, as usual) just a couple of minutes ago.


While watching your entries, I always been impressed by the relationship with your dad, obviously you 2 get along very well, lucky you :)

Thank you, Lorinda, that's exactly what I needed. As for the rest of you, well ... I'll remember how nobody else wished me luck when it comes time to vote. Harumph.

And a thank you to you too, Mugurel. I am indeed fortunate, and should extend gratitude to my mother, as well. She's just as supportive, and while she was at work during my little nothing production, and couldn't offer her direct assistance, she did help out vicariously; the backdrop I used, the staple gun to hold it all up, the mousse to make my hair look pretty. The list goes on.

I'm just going to throw all three of us in the credits in alphabetical order and be done with it. Fade to black, fade in text, fade out to copyright notice, end of movie. No muss, no fuss.

I did lose an hour last night with this Daylight Saving Time nonsense, and I've only got about thirteen hours left now, so it's off to work for me! See you guys at the finish line.

Boy, oh boy….it’s SUNDAY, and that means you’ve got until 1 a.m. PDT to get your film uploaded and the link sent to thedvchallenge@gmail.com. The normal deadline is midnight, but in protest of daylight savings time I’m giving you an extra hour. :)

So far, the submissions list includes Dick Mays, Hugh DiMauro, Josh Chesarek, Alex Chamberlain, Lorinda Norton, Tor-Atle Kindsbekken, and Jim Montgomery. Let me know if you sent your link and your name isn’t here. A more official-looking submissions list will come this evening.

Film viewing will start tomorrow! Depending upon how many entries are received I may post more than the usual five per day, because I’m going out of town on Wednesday and don’t want to take a chance that I can’t get online.

For you first-timers, don’t forget to post a feedback thread in the feedback forum! It can be great fun talking about each other’s films, and sometimes we even learn something for the next time.

If you're finished, congratulations! If you're not, we're rootin' for ya! :)

I am rendering! I am also trying to recall and looking through all post where I should post it and stuff... it's been a while so I can't recall everything.. so it's on its way.

To find the group easily head here:

http://www.youtube.com/group/thedvchallenge

Then at the top right in a yellow box you can click add video and add your video from your youtube account :)

Very few people seem to do this step. I think I am the only one in recent contests, that or they have not approved of the other videos yet for some reason.

I guess people look on their own pages for this feature (like I did). Even though I added it I can't see that it's about to be added or something to the group. Hopefully it just need to be approved...

Just finished sending the email with our video I am really looking forward to seeing all of the submissions. Now I can relax for a day or two.

And that's the end of that! Took me long enough, but the deed is done and I've entered a movie. Email sent, feedback thread in place, time to go to sleep so I can get up at three AM and go to work.

Hope everybody had fun! I'm going to go do a little dance.

Add to the submissions list: Jesse Steele, Fredrik Larsson, Bruce Broussard, Jeremy Doyle, Robert Martens.

Just in case you guys were wondering... :)

Well, somuch for my entry. No excuse........I'll give it a go next time. I do have some nice silent footage though (I forgot to turn my mic on).

uh huh! :D

Sleepless night... have a cold... shoot, I'm ready!

Well, I got one done, but it was just not up to par. Not going to submit something so poor, so I'm going to run and jump up on the wall. Super strong Velcro holds well! Perhaps I can peel myself off for the next one.

Mike

Well...

....They tanned my hide, Clyde...
...And that's it a hangin on the wall...
