When uploading begins....

[Jason Ramsey]

I"m going to give away a copy of Stu Maschwitz' "DV Rebel's Guide" to the first 3 people who upload.

Stu has agreed to give us a bunch of copies of this book every year for give aways during each fest.

So, I will be giving away some more copies of this book for Twilight Fest as well... About 10 in all.

You guys thank Stu for this and for being so generous.

Later,
Jason

[Simon Höfer]

Nice!!

Unfortunately I will upload very close to the deadline :D

[Jason Ramsey]

well... there will be more to give away throughout the fest... no worries.

[ZazaCast]

Sounds great! Be sure to give us a heads-up as to when the server is open.

[Larry Rutledge]

I already have that book (fantastic book, btw) so I guess it's a good thing I don't have a film to upload :)



Oh wait ... this talk of upload reminds me ... it's time to get the fest engine powered up. Off to the Fest Cave!! :)

[majikfraug]

Crap. We're already talking uploads? I haven't even finished shooting :/

[Neal Buconjic]

I second Larry's comment - Fantastic book. It inspires you to "raise the bar" for your film. Also provides some powerful tools (on the included DVD) so you can increase the production value of your work.

Two thumbs up!

[Jason Ramsey]

too much bottlenecking when we do that, and folks aren't as available for assistance as it's 3 in the morning on the east coast.

This is what we did last fest, and you can expect the same moving forward.

I stayed up ALL night to finish my Timefest entry, and like a mad Zombie at 10:30am I was yelling at the computer, "Export FASTER!!!", then I realized the deadline was 11am Pacific time, and I'm East coast. SWEET. Thank god for timezones. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it. I'll probably be doing the same thing this time.

There should be a prize for last upload. Who cares about first! probably more competition too.

Hey Guys. I will be shipping these direct from my house. EMAIL me your address at advertising at dvxuser dot com if you want me to ship them out soon.

Otherwise, I will ship them based on the address you put on the upload form after the fest.

Jason,

The more time you give us to post the less stress on your server

They opened it on the 22nd...that give you 6 days to upload your movie. I feel that's WAY more than enough time for everyone.:beer:
