April Fools - DVC Starts Today! Theme announcement - GO GO GO GO GOOOO!!!!!
What, you really thought we were going to start it on April 2nd?
The DV Challenge starts TODAY! Starting right.... NOW, you have until May 3rd at MIDNIGHT, to write, shoot, edit, and upload your film to a video hosting site (Vimeo or Youtube), and email the link to us at thedvchallenge@gmail.com So, the theme for this DVC is... a prop! And that prop is: Food So, you can make your film about anything you like, as long as you use a food prop throughout. It should be one specific item of food, not food in general. For example, a film about people chasing a runaway meatball would suit the theme, but a short set in a grocery store or restaurant would not. Part of judging will be based on how well you use your prop. (note: this is food only, not drinks) If you are new to the contest, please go see: The DV Challenge for specific rules/details. Since we have more than a month to complete these, we are extending the time limit to 5 minutes (+ credits but not titles), so use it wisely! And remember... the prize! For our extended challenge, Guy Cochran and dvcreators.net have donated a Reflecmedia 8'x8' Chromatte Package! Reflecmedia in action - Chroma key made easy on Vimeo This includes everything you need to create a Green Screen set - fast! * Litering * Controller * 8'x8' Chromatte curtain * adapter ring to fityour specific camera. Last year these were $3800! Here is Guy using it with the Canon 5D Mark II Chroma key with the Canon 5D and Reflecmedia on Vimeo If that isn't incentive to get your butt in gear, nothing will. Happy filming! Dylan & Lorinda

Question: Can people sign up for this after the theme is announced? I had a few friends who were teetering on the fence today?

I like the food idea; go figure my fat ass already has several stories in mind. If the theme also involved sitting around playing video games my film would clean up in the voting. |

Good for you guys who checked today. I'm laughing about the ones who won't look 'til tomorrow! Actually, I've been laughing to myself ever since Dylan said, "What about starting a day early for an April Fools Day joke?" :)

Come On
No one really writes a script or does story boarding! You have to wing it like the real big boy pro's, with the big boy pro camera's.. 8^)

Hey Dylan, in the old days when we only had a few days to make our films... we didn't have time sit around and BS like this....
