Theme Musings... at DVinfo.net

Hi friends:

The sign up thread for UWOL 20 is drawing to a close.

I will be closing the thread and announcing the theme on Monday, April 4th. If you are considering signing up for this friendly contest.... the time is now.

Let's muse about the theme a little, to give those of you who have signed up a little heads up for what is to come. Something to get the creative juices flowing and the cognitive wheels turning. If you have signed up already, well done! This challenge will not waste your energies, I promise.

These musings go to you too, all of you who are wondering if this time is the time you will give it a go, if only you had a glimpse of where this journey might take you. Read on, and be assured that this is a challenge, but a friendly one and you are so welcome!

The bar is set high this round. Consider what is the essence of film-making. What is the medium for filmmakers, that if mastered you are a master. If captured perfectly it transforms, transcends and renders the everyday into the mystical. It is what our art-form is, really. It is a medium that separates, penetrates, diffracts, reflects and gives life to our natural world.

Live it, breath it, thrive in it.

If you have readily guessed our next theme, you have an extra day to seriously consider the angle you will take for this theme. Like I mentioned before, I think a true masterpiece can come from this challenge. You are certainly up for it. You are all talented and hungry to be challenged.

Make this one your best effort yet.

If you are still considering.... sign up! This is for you too!

Bless you all, and I will be back first thing Monday (after the farm is up, my time!) to confirm the theme and get you all off and running.
