Thank goodness for the extra week

Like a total newbie, I somehow misread the due date -- the whole time I'm thinking everything's due tonight!

*smacks palm on forehead*

Ha ha! Gotta be a relief, huh?

Aaron, I asked Dylan to give us some guidelines on the trademark deal. Here’s part of what the chiefest head whip-cracker had to say, “…if your characters walk past Starbucks, that's fine. If your characters are all drinking Corona, no problem. It doesn't enhance the movie or make the story. If it DOES make the story, like using copyrighted music, then it should not be allowed.”

Don’t know about anyone else, but that makes me feel better about some of my past entries. He is so cool… :)

Anyway, let that be the guide for your films. If anyone has doubts about your footage, shoot one of us an email and we’ll talk.

I agree: starting to look like we'll have a pretty good turnout! I have to voice my gratitude for the extra week as well. Makes it much more feasible to create a film that I don't feel embarrassed about. Looking forward to watching some films next week!

So close to being done now, I can taste it. Like I said earlier, this is easily the most ambitious project I've worked on for the DV challenge.
