Was DVC 13 unlucky? Not at all! We ended up with eight great films to watch and judge...now it’s time to announce the winner.
But first, a little gratitude:
Much appreciation goes to Guy Cochran for continuing to offer the generous prize of a $250 shopping spree at www.dvestore.com. If you haven’t done it yet, check out the store.
As always, thank you, Chris Hurd, for giving us the space to practice our filmmaking here at “DV Info Net – the best damn video forum on the Internet!” (Dylan’s quote)
Speaking of Dylan, his vision in starting this contest provides the means and motivation to, as he says, “get you off your ass and on the street filming something real, something brave, something you want to show off.” I think that should be repeated at the start of every challenge!
An appreciative nod to veteran DVC folks Dick Mays and Kris Holodak for taking the time to comment on ALL the films, thereby giving these eight filmmakers the extra feedback they deserved. It was encouraging and constructive, as well as entertaining.
Finally, thanks to each of you who got out there and made a film. It isn’t easy, so each of you is a winner just for getting one submitted. Of course, there can only be one who takes the prize, so here we go with the top three...
2nd Runner Up:
Chris Barcellos – “A Lucky Day”
Wonderfully funny story, Chris. Well acted, shot and edited, too. Good job!
1st Runner Up:
Joseph Tran – “You Only Get Lucky on Valentines”
Another very fine and [this round] humor-filled film by the DVC 12 champ. Nicely done, Joseph!
And now...
The WINNER of DVC #13:
Hugh DiMauro – “The Long Shot”
Congratulations, Hugh—the only DV Challenge three-time winner! Great story, great use of theme, some stunning shots, plus funny gags that won the day. You have proven yet again that your filmmaking is top-notch!
I’ll get your email address sent off to Guy Cochran at www.dvestore.com for your prize. Please go to YouTube and add “winner” to the tags of all your winning entries so they’ll show up that way on the DVC viewer Benjamin Durin programmed for the Challenge.
*cue music* It’s a wrap! The DV Challenge is lots of fun plus great education that is vastly “cheaper than film school.” Challengers, you all should be proud of yourselves and your work. Hope to see you back for more in a couple months or so for DVC 14!
