New DVC?

Marc Burleigh · July 2nd, 2012, 04:33 AM

There's a Facebook page? Who knew. Seems to be a bit more info there than here. FWIW, this was posted there yesterday:

"Looks like it's going to be another week or so before the sign-up begins. We're sprucing things up a bit in order to advertise the heck out of this one.

Yeah...it's that big.

Be patient! It'll be worth the wait!"

Ah...so someone IS watching Facebook! :) Thanks, Marc, I was getting ready to post pretty much that same thing here.

'Tis true; hoping that new opportunities and locations will be available when the challenge does start--looking like early August but I'm waiting for confirmation on the exact dates. As the Facebook comment said, be patient--it'll be worth the wait...especially for the winner!

By the way, Twitter folks can also find The DV Challenge there. We need to bring in more competition for you guys, so help us bring new members to DV Info Net and get them in on the fun and free DV Challenge!!

Something around that time might be really good timing for me.....hoping anyway. I'm really itching to get back on the horse, so to speak. I've been almost completely inactive on this site for a very long time, (protracted family health crisis took precedence), and I haven't been involved in a DVC project in many years. But I'm bustin' my butt to get ahead of life a little bit during July so I can re-aquaint myself with the DVi family I love so much and get back to doing something I find fun and exciting.

Hey Jon! It's been forever. Hoping you can squeeze in this round.

Okay, everyone, there's a sign up coming very soon--possibly tomorrow! While you wait, and during the sign-up period, if any of you who have submitted a film in any challenge want to help us spruce up the Web site and Facebook, we'd appreciate it! We're looking for stills and/or very short clips from any film you want to include. Doesn't matter how old; as a matter of fact, I would love to remember entries from the first DV Challenge!

So dig into your archives and mail us clips to thedvchallenge@gmail.com. Be sure and include your name, the title of the film, and which DVC. Thank you!!!

Why not? That's the easy part and we may find a place for them. Thanks! :)

Is there going to be a theme or something?

Andris Krastins · July 7th, 2012, 02:07 PM

There's usually a theme.

Lorinda Norton · July 7th, 2012, 06:39 PM

Sign up will be posted on MONDAY. Still hammering out a thing or two but, as I said earlier, it'll be worth the wait!

A sneak peek at the timeframe: We are running this one throughout the month of August. So write it down and plan to make a prize-winning short film that'll knock our socks off!!!

Dick Mays · July 8th, 2012, 04:58 PM

If we get a month long contest, how about taking on a longer short film. Say 10 minutes instead of 3 or 5?

Lorinda Norton · July 9th, 2012, 06:19 PM

I'll discuss your idea with the boss, Dick.

Hey everyone, sorry it is taking me so long to get the sign-up thread posted. A storm took out my 'Net so I'm sitting in my car in town. Posting right away, I hope!
