Congratulations to all who finished. We had a whoppin' 25 completed entries, not bad for a first effort!

I'm amazed by what you've accomplished, everyone. Every video had at least one of those magical moments--the "oh wow" moments that outdoor video producers live for....So much work goes into getting that one great shot. Some of you spent days and days out there. I'm impressed.

You can view all of the entries at our website...they're all conveniently loaded up for you in one place. Just go to:

and click on the title. If it doesn't immediately stream for you, either right-click or control-click to download the title...

Finishers: Start your own feedback thread here at dvinfo...it should say:

UWOL #1: "Title" by Your Name

The feedback is the fun part! This is where our community excels!

One note on viewing: Ken D.'s submission clicks to a youtube page...he had his submission completed and went out of town before our website was completed.

Our judges will release their decision within a week.

We'll do a separate feedback thread for UWOL 1. But for now, a deep breath and a huge round of congratulations and thanks to all who participated:

I could not wait to get up this morning and start watching the other entries. WOW, I am impressed with the vision and imagination of this group. Bob Safay

Second that Bob! Already got new ideas for my future films watching the other entries!

Once again thanks to this community, especially Chris, Meryem, Mat and Kevin who has made this possible!

oh, one other suggestion--when you put up your feedback thread, add a direct link in the thread to your film....it will make it easier for your viewers to simply link to it straight out of your thread...also helps if they want to review your entry while thinking about possible feedback.

Thank you Meryem! It was a great experience!

I just posted my feedback thread, please check it out and leave your comments!
