View Full Version : DV Challenge #8 - Sign Up Thread
Joey Taylor March 23rd, 2007, 09:51 PM Congrats Joey! What camera is it?
I ALMOST bought a Panasonic PV-GS500 tonight. Everything is great on it, and it's for a GREAT price as well. The problem though is the viewfinder is just a blank screen. I can't tell if it is broken or not (as it was a demo unit) or the brightness for it is just turned down.
I really want this camera for the challenge in a few weeks, so any suggestions/thoughts would probably be helpful regarding that.
Edward Slonaker March 24th, 2007, 04:45 PM Oh why, why, WHY am I doing this????
- I'm tied up every weekend at a S. Texas ranch for this wildlife photography contest
- we leave on the 20th for our spring run up to Canada
- so....that gives me just a few days to do put something together to enter
- I'll most likely end up either on the "Wall of Shame" (again) OR with an entry that sucks muddy pond water.....
BUT IT'S A $600 Sennheiser EW112PG2 Evolution G2 Wireless mic system, you idiot!!!!
Okay...dammit...count me in!
Thanks, Lorinda!
Lorinda Norton March 24th, 2007, 11:39 PM Hahaha! I am so sorry for putting the temptation in front of you, Ed! HOWEVER, I can't help but be thrilled that you'll be joining in what I hope is lots and lots of fun for all of us. Heck, it just got better with you signing up! :)
Fredrik-Larsson March 25th, 2007, 01:15 PM I'm hoping Fredrik (Sweden) will sign up soon. That's closer to home for you! Have a great time with the Challenge. :)
You know I can't say no to you.. ;) So I am definately in. :)
Ian Broadbent March 25th, 2007, 04:11 PM Given that I submitted an assessment piece to the IOV that was marked down as drab and boring, that I have never done this before and that I could be considered artisticly challenged..... What the heck, if the theme isnt' anti Brit then I will give it a go :)
That is if us this side of that puddle are allowed to ;)
Cheers n beers
Ian
Steven Gotz March 25th, 2007, 09:07 PM Just throw in a beautiful woman with an accent. We Americans love women with accents. I am not sure why, but it is certainly true.
As long as you follow that simple rule, you are welcome to submit an entry. <said with tongue firmly planted in cheek!>
That's why I was so freaked out when Rose Tyler was written out of Dr. Who. I suppose she gets replaced by another girl with an accent anyway, right?
Gabriel Yeager March 26th, 2007, 12:25 AM Just throw in a beautiful woman with an accent. We Americans love women with accents. I am not sure why, but it is certainly true.
In my case, make that a Japanese accent! lol. ;)
If only I could find actors..... *Runs out to the streets' and starts asking random people*

Hi Lorinda,

I have been a guest on this forum for almost a year and some of you are real gurus. I learnt a lot about camcorders in here. My philanthropist friend who always says “Knowledge should be free” and its true on this forum.
Regards,
Keny

Gary Hanna April 3rd, 2007, 07:03 AM I want in...hopefully it's not too late - please let me know...new to the contest and the forum as well.
Do you need a minimum amount of posts to enter? And what is the entry fee?
Lorinda Norton April 3rd, 2007, 10:19 PM Hi Gary,
You're not too late to enter; the cutoff occurs when Dylan posts the theme. One time we had so many people signing up he thought he might have to impose an early cutoff, but it worked out.
There is no minimum post count or fee. You're in! :)
Ronn Kilby April 3rd, 2007, 11:16 PM Sign me up.
Gary Hanna April 3rd, 2007, 11:51 PM Hi Gary,

Thanks - good to know.
I read in past contests there's a cash pool - what are the basics for that? Or are you doing that for #8? Can't find a FAQ, so sorry for the queries.
Lorinda Norton April 4th, 2007, 12:42 AM You must be referring to the donations for charity. At Christmastime Dylan likes to run a Challenge where the winner gets to choose a charity and he sends the donated money there.
We used to donate to the DV Challenge to help with expenses. (Gosh, I haven't done that in a long time!) You can also buy T-shirts if he still has them.
Other than that, there's no money involved.
