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.

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!

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! :)

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. :)

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

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?

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*

Whatever it takes... ;) Hooray! We are going to have a blast!!

@Keny: Welcome to DV Info! Have fun with the Challenge.

If it falls together and I have little control over this mind you, I might be able to squeak something in. Count me in, with a spoonful of trepidation.

Count me in. Although I haven't yet found a FAQ on what I'm in for. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Welcome aboard, Jeremy! Here ya go: http://www.thedvchallenge.com/index.shtml

@Keny: Welcome to DV Info! Have fun with the Challenge.

Hi Lorinda,

Thanks.

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

SWEET!!!

I'm crazy busy these days, but as a result of last time I've made a point to find a bunch of actors willing to work for free.

COUNT ME IN!!!

Can't wait to find out what the theme is.

Bing it Britches!!!*

*note: nobody here is a britch, I love all you guys (and gals).

COUNT ME IN!

Count me in if it's not too late. Sorry, I haven't been checking in as often as I used to. Got the last daughter living at home getting married tomorrow. Life should settle back to a normal level of insanity next week. (She's the one from Frame 37 for those that remember it)

I want this friggin competition to start already!!

Count me in. Lost on on the last few as been busy, ready for this one though....

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?

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! :)

Sign me up.

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.

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.

Yippie, my first! Sign me up.

Sign me up!

I'm in. Hopefully I'll have time to make a good one.

OK, count me in. Having a new cam, this will help me learn more of it's hidden secrets.

count me in

I am in this one!

OK. You talked me into it.

I have not time (DP a short 14th and 15th) but I have submitted since DVC1 so I'm in this time.

Count me in.

Been a lurker for a while now decided to join in. So count me in.

"better to be signed up on time then wish you had latter haha "

Time to jump on the wagon.

It will be tight with my schedule, but I hope I'll find the time.

Thought I ws in but I'm out. Life suckage took a turn for the worst! Maybe next time.
