"I'm in."

Guy Cochran, those are nice prizes! I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that mic. Thank you!

That looks like a generous week, Dylan. You're such a softie. :)

I"m in too !!

Sign me up!
Thanks!

Sweet, I'll be back home soon and I'm keen to do this one. Time to start rallying the troops. And getting up to speed on the gear.

And now wait in anticipation of what Dylan will announce in 3 weeks for us to panic over ;-)

Optimistically in, it’s been way too long!

Mike

I'm in! (padding for 10 characters)

Yay! Another excuse to get out and do something, just the boot in the rear I need. I'm in, baby!

It doesn't start 'til the third, looks like I'll be able to use two or three paychecks from my new UPS job to purchase more stuff. "Savings account" my eye, there are toys to be bought!

I'll be hung over from a trip to Vegas, but I'm in!

I'm in... I think... ok, yeah I'm in...I guess...I have such a hard time making up my mind, does that signal disaster for me in DV6?

I am in. Missed the last few and really wanted to try it again.

Whhhhoooooosh! I just threw my hat into the ring. Picture Oddjob in the James Bond Movie, "Goldfinger."

I am in as well.

Just got a new Sony A1, a bit of an upgrade from my JVC DVM75U that I used last comp.

Looking forward to making DVC6 my first project with it.

I'm in -- cool prizes!

I'm in..............

no...no....back away from that keyboard!!!!


Oh, what the @#$%, count me in.

.

oooohhhhh nnooooooo!!!!!!. One week....... my worst dream came true....

I'm in.

Those are some great prizes, Thanks a tonage Guy. I won't win one but they are nice to dream about. Really Nice! So Nice that I'm afraid I'm going to have to practice my rack focusing? Back focus? whatever it's called, until my fingers bleed.

Lorinda is way to relaxed and confident. She must have something up her sleeve.

First off, I must come clean: I'm on the wall of shame from DVC#5. Yes, that's right: I signed up, and I didn't make a movie. Please forgive me Dylan.

But I am signing up for DVC#6, with a twist!

From August 5-12 I will be taking part in a Kino-Kabaret in Matane, Quebec. It's basically an intense film-making workshop with screenings every 48 hours, involving about 100 participants. My own personal challenge will be to make a movie for DVC#6 while I'm there! I am going to make at least two movies during that week anyway, so I might as well make sure one of them is for the DVC.

BTW: nice prizes!

This looks like fun I'll give it a try. Sign me up to please. :)

I'm in, once again!! :)

I'm in, this is my first.

The quick turnaround will be a challenge for me, but then it is called the DV Challenge, isn't it?

I'm in.

Abso-freakin-lootly. Old school and hard core babies! You can count this old guy IN!

What did I do? (backspace)(backspace)...huh, the backspace key isn't working? When did this happ... Crap.

I guess I really am in then.

Odd, all the other keys seem to be working.

Lorinda is way to relaxed and confident. She must have something up her sleeve.
Heh heh. Relaxed? Yeah. Confident? Hardly. :)

I'm in. First time. Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to it.

Well, second sign up but first time entry (I hope) *hangs head in shame*
BTW Guy thanks for putting up the sweet prizes!

Sign me up!

Thanks!

Count me in. I had too much fun shooting last time to stay out. All I need to do now is recruit a writer, see if I can get a bit more story to my story this time.

Luck everyone.
Smile,
Kris

Ahoy!

I don't know what the shiny buttons on my camera do yet. If I were thinking rationally, I'd say "wait for DVC 7 before deciding to make a fool of yourself, yeah?" On the other hand, I'm often chastised for procrastinating.

Count me in. I'll give it a go.

Sounds like fun, I'm in too.

Ok, I am in. I have been on the WOS since I didn't manage to complete the last DVC-contest I was in and now I think I need to get my honour back.

I'll give it the old college try , I'm in....

I'll have a go at it.

I'm kind of new here, so this would be my first one, but I'll try and make a stab at it.

Well,

I'm going to clean up my name from the WOS on DVC#5.

I'm signing up with my minimal cast and good will, and I'll be damned if I don't post something watchable this time.

Count me in.

Hugo Pinto

Awe man..........I was just getting over the trauma of hanging on the wall of shame!

Count me in though.....some one keep my spot on the wall warm will ya?

Randy

I'm out... what did I win? ;)

Ok, I'm in... let's do this!

first post but im in! cant wait...

Hugo! I still remember "The Visionary." Can't wait for the next one!

And to those of you who consider yourselves brand new (some of you first time posters for sure), "Welcome!" Have fun. :)

Well, this will be my first. Count me in...

Jim

I'm in...don't know why.

DVC 6
Count me in!!

Oh man, the WoS is tempting and mocking me. But the hell, this newbie is in!

There's gonna be a helluva lot of entries this time!!

My first DV Challenge...im in.

I am definitely in. Hopefully I wont be lazy this time.

Signing in.

Awww Man!!!!! and given one more month I probably would have had an open schedule to be able to compete this time around....I would have wanted to go for something like a really transcendent hippy-arty brainy-farty type of piece.

Oh well, I guess this makes me 3 on and 3 off....so I better make room in my life for the potential DVC 7 (Christmas???) in hopes of keeping the balance in favor.

Kudos to Guy Cochran...He da man.

Good luck to y'all....I'll be cheerin' from the bleachers.

Hey, I'll take a crack at this for the first time. Working full-time at the borest job in the world with crabby people leaves little time though, so let's see how a 48-hour challenge (weekend) will be for me. Sign me up.
