Congratulations to all ! It was really interesting to see the variety of entries interpreting the "Night" theme. All a lot of fun !

Hi everyone:

Congratulations to Marcus and Per on exceptional film-making. Marcus, your comment inspires me that it means so much to you to show how beautiful the Baltic Sea is with all of its creatures in the way you have come to know and love it. I think that is the inspiration behind UWOL ... to share with the world the globe's natural beauty that we have each come to know and love in our own unique way.

And thank you for the nod for my entry. I'm a bit stunned but honored none the less. I think Meryem is raising up a family of highly talented and esteemed film-makers who collectively we can do outstanding things, no?

Excellent work to all and looking forward to a fresh batch of challenges next year.

Cat

P.S. Hey Mat ... Like you said, OLOL just doesn't have the same ring to it but perhaps O - LOL helps a bit, as in Oh! Laughing Out Loud... These films are so good!

glad you all have found a way to join me in my hare-brained schemes!

i promise to go easy on you next round.

i can hear the complaining already: "this is just way too easy! we need a challenge, damn you. i'm going to go shoot some NIGHT footage of this...."

see how you people are??

just to stay on topic--i will be posting a commentary and reflecting on the judge's thread some time tonight--i want to be able to put some thought behind it but didn't want to keep everyone in suspense.

Markus, Per and Cat. Congradulations. All three were excellant videos that deserved to win. Actually, congradulations to everyone that submitted an entry. As you all know, this was a very interesting and tough challenge. Congradulations to all. Bob

I had Markus in my #1 spot so I am glad to see that the majority agreed with that assessment. There were many great clips this round, as usual, but sometimes one just sticks out.

Marco Wagner · November 27th, 2007, 02:37 PM

Congrats Markus!!!! Very nice feature and a very hard theme to tackle for many of us. Way to end the year!!!

Dale Guthormsen · November 27th, 2007, 06:59 PM

Congratulations!!!

Markus, great job

Per, some of the best compositions I have ever seen.

Cat, a wonderfully unique video.

Congratulations everyone who worked it through and the winner of course. Hope to challenge you next time :)

Catherine Russell · November 30th, 2007, 09:53 PM

Hi Burak:

Wow! Do we have another sign on to the UWOL family? How exciting! Please join us! I can't wait to see what beautiful filming comes from Turkey. We might have two others joining you next year, Anne-Kari from Norway and Marj from South Africa. Splendid! The UWOL family is as international is it can be I think!

Hope to hear from you in 2008!

Sincerely,

Cat
