Love the Feedback! at DVinfo.net

When I entered this contest, I didn't realize what a bunch of wonderful folks hang around this dvinfo.net community. I was just looking for a short contest so my acting class kids would have something to get excited about. I didn't expect to find a warm community of supportive filmmakers!

I particularly love reading the feedback comments. For every "ADD," suggesting how the film might be improved, there are a ton of "LIKES." IMHO that's the right ratio for a constructive critique process.

I'm looking forward to feedback on our short.

Anybody else enter the Tribeca/Amazon short film contest? I've got a short, "Daytona," in the current competition, but there's no way of getting any feedback. DV Challenge is much better, (unless, of course, I win the $50K!)

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I feel that my technique and skills are growing by help of this challenge. The great thing is that we love this and love to give comment and see what others do. I kind of feel like this is like an "anynomus cameramaker" movement. Together we boost eachothers confidence to continue on our path to making better movies.
