Deeper thoughts on the next DVC
 

Iffff we were to do a 72 hour DV Challenge, how many people would sign up?
I'd like to do one, but if there aren't enough people who are seriously interested, we could make it a "mini-challenge", maybe just 6 of us.

On the other hand, if everyone is itching to go on the full challenge, I could put one together to start at the end of July.

Thoughts?

I can't do it the 27-28-29th of july. Otherwise I am ready to participate. :)

I'm 43 hours into a 48 hour film festival. Sure wish we had another 24... But I would be up for it....

I'll be up for it however it plays out.

I'd sure try a 72 hour challenge, partly because it sounds like lots of fun and partly because I would have to pass on a full challenge at the end of July.

i'd do it...................

Same here. I'd be in.

Up the ante
 

Dylan,
If you are seriously considering making the next one a 72-hour bit, why not also consider upping the ante. Turn the next one into a "72-hour DVC Extreme".

Keep all the regular pertinent rules for the DVC.

Implement a 72-hour limit.

Impose the inclusion of a specific item or prop (specified at start time)

Impose the inclusion of a specific line of dialogue (specified at start time)

Allow for flexibility in the content run-time -(between 2 and 5 minutes)

-------------------

I wouldn't advise this structure for the standard DVCs, but one annual 'Extreme' version sounds like a lot of fun. I'd be in.

I'd be in as well :)

You guys are twisting my arm...

Of course, it all depends on when the contest is scheduled.

It all depends on the weekend.

With my job, I'm on call every other week starting 8am Tues - 8am Tues.

If it lines up with a weekend I have off, that works for me. I'd sign up.

Jim

I can do it the weekend of the July 14th
I can't do it the weekend of July 21st.
I can do it the weekend of July 28th.
I can't do it the weekend of August 4th.

(This is what happens when your life falls apart and all that, and every other weekend becomes visitation...)

I would be in ... but I'm not afraid of the wall of shame - I've been there.

I would love to try and do another DVC.

Dylan-

I'm ready to get back into the DVC and a 72-hour challenge seems right. After all, the time limit will keep me away from doing VFX work, so I might actually get some sleep during those three days.

If you're planning for the end of July, I should be able to do it. If it is in August, I'll be out of town.

Ken-

I see you are from South Bend! Welcome to the DVi.

Thanks for the welcome, Jeff. I'm afraid I'm a South Bend lifer.

Go, IRISH!

I am in ...

As you may have noticed, I am never good at completing these things...
But I would give this one a shot if I have some spare time..

So yes, I am in. But you might not get to see anything!

It's not called a challenge for nothing. If we get 3 weeks, we waste the first 2 1/2 anyway. Might level playing the field just a bit. I'm up for it - schedule permitting.

Hey Dylan, any chance of you commiting to a date so we can plan for it .

Now that summer is here I would be able to enter again. Depends if I'm working or not though.

I'd like my first contest to be a regular one, but what the hell, as long as I'm not working.

72 hour EXTREME challenge sounds awesome (it adds a level of difficulty, while also stopping ppl from cheating, tho Im sure no-one would do that ;) )

But could it be before the end of July? I finish hols by August and couldnt compete otherwise..

out of 72 hours i work 24 and sleep 24 which leaves me plenty of time to put something together....i think...?
whatever, i'd be in.
make it happen!

Hey guys, back from a trip. I'll be putting together the dates shortly.

D

The dates will likely be Thurs August 2nd to Sunday August 12th. I'll just need to confirm a few things, and will post the Sign Up thread shortly.

I wonder if that's good timing or bad
 

Just yesterday I made plans to go up to my brother's house from the 3rd to the 7th to make a movie with my nephews and niece. I told them they needed to come up with a story idea, but I bet they won't have done by the time I get there. I wonder if I can talk them into doing one on whatever this round's theme ends up being.

Of course you can... you are bigger and can beat them up!
