Dylan, you're a genius! It's perfect--the possibilities are almost endless. Makes me wish we could enter more than one!

Awesome stuff Dylan! This is going to be a hoot!

It's not too late if you want to join in the fun! Otherwise, I want to see your name in the next one! :)

Thanks Dylan,
I am extremely close to getting my panasonic GS400. I should be able to purchase as soon as B&H get their next shipment of them. Right now, they have this particular camera back-ordered.
I will try like hell to be in the next one.

Dylan Couper · April 12th, 2005, 11:29 PM

Just a scary little reminder, only three days left to complete your challenge projects!

Aaron Koolen · April 12th, 2005, 11:44 PM

Dylan, do you have a certain format you want it in? What about filesize or res? I can upload whatever.

Aaron

Dylan Couper · April 13th, 2005, 02:35 PM

Doesn't matter although I suggest you make it vieable to everyone so no PC only formats. I'd also suggest makeing it a bit smaller if you have limited bandwidth. Send me the link whenever it is up if you like, but don't post it. I'll post them all at the same time.

Dylan Couper · April 15th, 2005, 07:08 PM

TICK TOCK GOES THE CLOCK!

All entries are due tonight! Midnight Pacific Standard time!

Dylan Couper · April 17th, 2005, 09:41 AM

THE FIRST DV CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED!

I'm currently waiting for the judging to be complete, and will post links to all the competitors this evening.

We recieved five completed submissions out of around 10 people who posted an intent to compete, which is pretty good for our first attempt. Thanks to all who entered!
More later this evening.

Emre Safak · April 17th, 2005, 01:56 PM

Would it be unreasonable of me to ask for the deadline to be extended to two weeks for the future? One week is really cutting it tight.
