I plan to. Like you, this has all been a crash course for me. Although I have had a fair amount of experience in media in general, the camera work is fairly new to me. I bought a Canon XL2 8 months ago and it was the first video camera I ever owned. Maybe I did things a little backword, but I had potential work on the horizon that warranted it - and it is paying for itself - kinda.

I have found this site indispensable for the wealth of data. And I have found the opportunities presented thorugh the dvchallenges to be indispensable for the practice and on-the-job learning.

I will definately compete in dvc 3.

Man, I have never been involved in anything before that makes me feel young and so old all at the same time.

Several people over here got a taste of the fun so I now have lots of friends/family wanting to be involved (in the ideas and acting--not necessarily the leg work). It's a nice problem to have, but last time was a freakin' circus. If I do it again, it might just be me and one actor/location.

I'd narrow it down to just me and a bottle, but it seems that's been done already... ;)

Thanks for the encouragement, Mike. I'm thinkin' on it!

Lorinda,

I hope you do make it in this time too. I know it is a "Challenge," but hang in there. My problem is just the opposite of yours. All of my friends and family are scattered around the midwest, and I'm in Florida, by myself. Maybe I can come up with a one man show for this one. I am toying with the idea of trying to organize a small film club here. That might be real fun.

Best of luck Lorinda.

Mike

As for me and my entry, and future entries, I'm shy as a director and like to keep it just me and one or two people I really know, they are the ones that don't laugh at the idea.

I also like to have total control over the project so I scout locations, shoot it, edit it, select the music and sound for it, find props, etc. It's a ton of work even at this level. That's why I got pressed to do it in a week. If I only had 48 hours, that would be interesting.

Looking forward to Sept 8th (is it still the 8th?)

See you all there.

LOL! :)

I think in some cases, the fewer people you have ,the better.

Fewer works for me. Can't get any less than on on the crew.
