The DVC/UWOL CHARITY CHALLENGE

Bruce Foreman · December 9th, 2008, 11:07 PM

I'm in physical therapy....

...But I'll find a way to do this too.

Inactivity (aside from being on the "rack" is killin' me.

Andrew Hood · December 10th, 2008, 04:37 AM

I'm up for it. Need to make up for the last few.

Lorinda Norton · December 10th, 2008, 11:46 AM

Howdy, UWOL! Remember me? I’m the one who so ably demonstrated the Shakicam at this contest last summer. For some reason it never caught on…

Anyway, it’s too bad Mereym and Dylan didn’t get their heads together on this joint adventure sooner; one word from Meryem about no December UWOL challenge and *POOF* --you all disappear! But I have something here that’ll bring everyone running! Don’t tell the DVC folks, but I’m gonna let you in on a big secret. They’d kill me upstairs if they knew I was giving you an edge (you know DVCers--always playing with guns) so remember, mum’s the word and here’s the secret:

The theme is …..”PEOPLE!”
.
.
.
Heh heh…not really… ;)

ACTUALLY, I think I overheard a conversation regarding the theme that would make the average, and not-so-average (which describes most of you) UWOLer sit up in his/her bird watching cover and think... "Hmm...I think I could do that!" :)

So come on in! Our donations will make some lucky charitable organization very happy, and you'll be glad you got out and shot another, or your first, UWOL film!

The last 2 weeks of December I have nothing booked, look forward to my first entry.

Catherine Russell · December 10th, 2008, 12:46 PM

Yikes! This is a hectic time of year, but I'll give it a go. Meryem, you may want to e-mail the UWOL group, I never would have caught this if Trond hadn't have given me a heads up. Like Lorinda said, we all kind of go "poof" once it's declared there is no contest for December.

Also Mereym, want to fire me an e-mail? I'm so sorry we are not hooking up by phone!

Trond, how are you? Being sick for 6 weeks is a long time! What's up?

Happy holidays everyone.

Ken Bates · December 10th, 2008, 12:52 PM

I will be taking the fam on a 1200 mile Christmas trip during most of that time window..but I will give it a shot.

Roger Wilson · December 10th, 2008, 01:59 PM

Holidays are a busy time, but I'll give it a shot!

I'd be interested in teaming up with anyone from the Denver-metro area. I've got an XH-A1 and CS3 & CS4 master collection. Feel free to send me an email through the forums.

Steve Siegel · December 10th, 2008, 09:43 PM

I'd like to try, too.

Lorinda Norton · December 10th, 2008, 11:58 PM

I'm in.

Hey Clint,
Welcome to DV Info and The DV Challenge! Have a great time; looking forward to watching your film. :)

Note to Bruce Foreman: Seems you've been a long time at your current "occupation." I'm sorry to hear you're not 100%. About the "rack," at least you didn't mention the other device that [historically] goes along with it... ;)

To everyone: The theme will be posted sometime tomorrow (Thursday) but keep in mind that sign up will remain open through Jan. 1! So if you see this after the start date and want to jump in, go for it!!

Donations will be accepted through Jan. 1, as well. Check out the donations thread for details.

I'm almost recovered again now. At least enough to carry around a camera. :)
It was something with my lungs and throat at the same time. Not fun.

Anyway, this UWOL/DVC challenge is special, so I really hope all of us sign up and make a video this time.
Yes yes, it's holidays and a busy time of year, but hey, UWOL/DVC is a great excuse to get away from the stressful life for a moment!

Come on guys and gals, SIGN UP, make a video and let's have FUN!!

James McBoyle · December 11th, 2008, 08:15 AM

I'm flying home to the UK and won't be back until after the deadline is past. I doubt I'll be able to take my main camera, just my little old SD camcorder due to size considerations, and I'll have to work from the laptop instead of the desktop pc too...

If I can get anything together with all these extra challenges, I'll be happy, so I might as well sign up and hope to get something show-able. :-)

Rob Evans · December 11th, 2008, 01:20 PM

ooh hello. Please count me in, not sure If I'll actually be able to produce anything beyond pictures of the contents of nappies, but i'll give it my best shot ;-)

Bruce Broussard · December 11th, 2008, 02:41 PM

and looking forward to participating in this combo challenge!

Tom Sherwood · December 11th, 2008, 02:51 PM

I'm on the edge of my seat today waiting to read the theme. Never been apart of this but seems like a great learning experience. If I can wrangle some friends to help out... I may just have a go at this.

Dale Guthormsen · December 11th, 2008, 05:15 PM
