Show Your Work 2003

Joe Gioielli · May 20th, 2003, 02:06 PM

How about a DV film festival? This is my thought. Take a few very expensive ads in magazines and such. Have a very low entry fee. Use the money to cover the costs and a cash prize. I could have the local media people (as well as the auidence) judge the videos and and award winners.

Yeah, I know the money thing could be a problem. Money will always be a problem. If the numbers don't add up, everyone gets their fees back and I look like an idiot, again. I'm comfortable with that.

I need to know, what are DV makers looking for in a film festival. Do they want to get feedback and have a chance for their work to be shown? Or are they looking to get "discovered" and rushed off to Hollywood on a flying carpet. I don't want anyone to think I'm going to give them something I can't.

Anything would be a help.

To me, anywhere, where you can show your work to a bunch of people, would be good enough...I don't think many people are expecting much more...

Josh Bass · May 20th, 2003, 04:12 PM

Nothing stupid about this. This will equalize all the entries, to some degree. No more "wow this looks better than all that other crap, cause it's shot on 16/35mm." I don't know if that happens, but I'm sure it does.

Dylan Couper · May 20th, 2003, 11:16 PM

I like the idea. However, where would the films... er... movies, be shown and showcased? Internet or live?

Robert Poulton · May 21st, 2003, 12:30 AM

What catagories are you going to have and who will be the judges? Develop it alittle more and I think we will have something.
I'm all for it.

I participated in a Auto-X event this past weekend and I decided to bring my GL2 along for the ride. Please right-click and save the target as.... Don't stream the clip as it's a big 45 meg file. Comments are welcomed...

Download Right Here
Right-click, save target as.....!

I know it's a huge file for 3 minutes, but it's about the content, not the file size...

Thanks,
Gilbert Xiong

Even on ADSL I'm not gonna download a full 45MB AVI for the sake of it.

Imran Zaidi · May 21st, 2003, 09:06 PM

Well I did :) and it was entertaining. I bet if you cut out everything except for the faster action bits, and bring it down to about 1 minute, it'd be a lot more fun to watch. Neat footage though.

Made me wanna start hotrodding around in my Jetta...

Alex Knappenberger · May 21st, 2003, 09:13 PM

If you would of encoded with WM9, you could of gotten the same quality, in probably less then half the file size...

Anyway, it was pretty cool. I don't want to start nitpicking, but I will anyway, just for good measure. Some of the shots had the extra-shakey-ness to them, that could be worked on, and I also noticed some handling noise in the audio, other then that it was pretty good.

We used the Studio1 MiniDV Shoulder Brace... But I found that when I was zoomed in 60% then there is no way to stop the shakyness.

Thanks! I'm still a beginner, your comments are appreciated.

Why can't I find the trailer?

J. Cody Lucido · May 25th, 2003, 11:07 AM

There is a trailer on both sites.

On this iste:

http://www.customflix.com/Store/ShowTtl.jsp?id=204754

click below the images where it says, "Click here to view preview "

On this site:

http://www.galaxaco.com/hellholehigh/index.html

click on "trailer" on menu bar.

I hope this helps.

Alex Knappenberger · May 25th, 2003, 11:16 AM

Haha dude, that looks pretty cool...If I had $20 right now, i'd buy it....

Dylan Couper · May 25th, 2003, 05:16 PM

It must have been late at night when I looked at it. Don't know why I didn't see it the first time.

Anyway, I just watched the trailer. It does not make me want to buy the movie. The movie looks right up my alley, and I thought about buying it, but the trailer turned me off.
I'd redo the trailer. Instead of showing just flashy scenes, give a little meat of the movie.

Frank Granovski · May 25th, 2003, 05:59 PM

It looks really good, and it looks really bad. Just what the doctor ordered. I'll force my wife to watch it. I want to send you a US M.O. for a VHS copy. Please post your mailing address here, with total amount I should include ($20 + Shipping to Vancouver Canada). Hey, I'm not kidding. I collect these types of movies for my wife to watch. I also take her for those free "B" movies. It makes her crazy. :)

Besides, a few minutes ago I got outbid for a $30 lens on e-bay---like during the last minute before the auction ended. Oh well....
