[Robbie Comeau]

Thanks for using my video!

I like this. Maybe a new song though.

Robbie

[ZazaCast]

I think you missed a bunch of us...and you have WAY too much time on your hands.:)

[Zak Forsman]

these are great! I like both.

[Rodney V. Smith]

there's more to come. i'm doing 30 second promos and hard to fit 67 films in there


by the way zaza, i tried to import your mp4 but it wouldn't let me. do you have a .mov fie of your movies?

[Rodney V. Smith]

i'm getting everyone in, you can be sure of that.

[ZazaCast]

by the way zaza, i tried to import your mp4 but it wouldn't let me. do you have a .mov fie of your movies?

I hope you know I was just kiddin'... I think these are a great idea.
I'll have to recompress on the Mac if you want a .mov version. I'll PM you a link when they're ready. Thanks.:):beer:

[Rodney V. Smith]

i know you were kidding and i wanted the ball exploding at the beginning of the second trailer, so i was disappointed, but I always forge ahead, so as soon as you can get me the file, that would rock

[AmyO]

Nice. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Very good work, as always (there's another compliment for you :)) I am looking forward to the rest.

What disappoints me is the fact that nobody made a TimeFest or TwilightFest tribute as is customary in the fests.

[Zak Forsman]

Very good work, as always (there's another compliment for you :)) I am looking forward to the rest.

What disappoints me is the fact that nobody made a TimeFest or TwilightFest tribute as is customary in the fests.

I was in the middle of making a TimeFest tribute (i made the LoveFest one that went over so well) but stopped because so many of the films would not import into FCP. it was pretty funny... on JDS's recommendation, it was set to Cyndi Lauper's Time after Time, then segued to a hard-hitting electronica version of the same song halfway through.

[Rodney V. Smith]

penguin, you can just call me 'he who fishes for compliments' as opposed to just fishes for.. fish.. like penguins do... :grin:


man it woulda been good to see the Timefest one. I was looking forward to that too. Maybe I'll do a long version of all the films here.. the long trailer...

whats a good song for twilight?

[Drew Ott]

In elementary school I plagiarized the lyrics of Time After Time and turned it in as a poem I wrote for a project.

that is strangely... disturbing

[Rodney V. Smith]

new trailer is up... time for a new batch...

[ConspiracyPenguin]

I remember the LoveFest one. I thought I recalled that you had made it. That's too bad it didn't work out for TimeFest...maybe this time. :)

[Rodney V. Smith]

i'll commit to making one for twilight fest... gimme a a good song to edit to

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

i'll commit to making one for twilight fest... gimme a a good song to edit to
How about the Twilight Zone theme song. :)

[Rodney V. Smith]

too short.. unless there's a punk rock version with lyrics... i'm LOATHE to use the song "Twilight Time"

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

How's THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uALhNnMRY4)? :)

[Rodney V. Smith]

Oh that's TOTALLY sweet! ROCK DUDE!

[Brian Parker]

Nice work puckthemad. Those are cool.

[justin ewart]

hey very cool!

thanks for using my tunes ;)

[Rodney V. Smith]

i've been waiting for a chance to use them, so here it is! good selection you have by the way.

[Rodney V. Smith]

3 more to go and then the big one...

Converting the movies with codecs that Premiere couldn;t understand... in the meantime i'm hitting the hay. the rest of the trailers will be up tomorrow.

Remember to feel free to them on your facebook pages or whatever to promote the hell out of DVXFext

[Dick Campbell]

just very cool, Rodney. thanks for the nod, too.

[Simon Höfer]

Whoa!! Awesome work man! Thanks alot for the hard work :) Great!

[Rodney V. Smith]

2 More trailers up... one last one with the missing videos. Some aren't behaving themselves right now so I'm trying to find a good solution on getting them converted.

An Enchanting Twist of Peccadilloes
Sixty Seconds
Subscryption

these files for some reason are giving trouble. Once i get them converted I should be able to wrap up the big trailer that includes EVERYONE and then include vimeo links for each of the trailers.

[justin ewart]

thanks again ;)



i've been waiting for a chance to use them, so here it is! good selection you have by the way.

[Rodney V. Smith]

hey just had a thought: who had the best line for the fest? What was your favorite line ever? thoughts?

[ZazaCast]

hey just had a thought: who had the best line for the fest? What was your favorite line ever? thoughts?

"One More Victim" - the hooker leans in the car window as the 'John' play with the required element and says, "What do you like, playing with balls or somthing?"

LMAO.... CLASSIC!:thumbup:

[Mile Bozicevic]

hey just had a thought: who had the best line for the fest? What was your favorite line ever? thoughts?

''Be a cat. Please be a cat.''

I can never get enough of that one. :D
Btw great job here. It's cool to see all the fest films in these trailers, and I think it will be very nostalgic one day for me.
:beer:

[pauly_the_hitman]

These are freaking cool man I like them all way to Represent DVXusers...
And I have to agree maybe you do have too much time on your hands...
Of course that is how we grow right doing things over and over.
Pauly

[pauly_the_hitman]

hey just had a thought: who had the best line for the fest? What was your favorite line ever? thoughts?


All of mine are of Tom saying "WTF" or "please be a cat"
Not for self promotion (wink,wink) but because it was funny.
Pauly

[Rodney V. Smith]

I actually have the "Please be a cat" line in there guys. it was one of the most memorable ones. I also have "She liked BACON" from "My Name is Harold Allen".

I was just drawing blanks on some of the other good ones and was hoping other people would have favorites. Anybody else? Maybe I should put this in it's own thead to attract more attention to my pleas...

[Mike Insane]

Great idea! Now how can we embed these trailers into other websites to drive traffic to dvx user?

[Rodney V. Smith]

i gotta include the vimeo links as soon as they're all up. I'll add the vimeo link under each trailer.

[Kyle Stebbins]

Not sure I'm sold on these trailers.

I like the concept, but it feels like a poor execution.

Titles feel awkward, amateur... and the copy is strange. "Imagine what they do for Loss Fest" ???

Music isn't quite right, either.

Otherwise, this is a great idea and, if done right, could draw quite a bit of traffic to the fest.

[Rodney V. Smith]

The COMPLETE trailer is now available for viewing. It features all 67 films and a few choice quotes. Quotes are taken from the finalists and from a couple others that seemed to fit the mood.

I've tried to be as impartial as possible with the choice of quotes (please note that I haven't included my own film), so please no one take offense.

Enjoy.

I decided not to use any copyrighted music for the trailer, mainly because this may actually be used outside of DVXUser this time around. Maybe I'm being too cautious, I dunno... Just trying to play it safe.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Oh yeah: thanks to Penguin for a good selection of slogans. I'm going to have to stock up on those for future trailers.

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Anytime, man, glad it worked out for you. :) It looks good, although it wouldn't load the player for me (the embeded version) so I had to find the URL and go to it directly. I don't know why it wasn't working.

ow. and ow. thanks Stebbs. that's 48 hours of my life i'll never get back now. I'm done. You can give it a go if you want.

Anybody else want a do over and get it right?

[Rodney V. Smith]

I'm cranky and irritable and I've been fighting this last file conversion for most of the day just to get it to render out, so maybe I'm not in the best frame of mind.

If any one has any ideas on how we can improve the text and copy ,whatever it takes to make a more cohesive package to promote the site, please let's hear it.

I took this project on simply because no one else was and I;d like to see it be fully representative of the DVXFests. There is no official trailer, presspack or not even any mods saying: hey let's do this (if they are, then someone stop me), so it's kind of up to us to try to promote the DVX Fest as best as possible.

Like I said: any ideas about how the trailers can be improved, please let me know. Just don't piss all over it.

Thanks.

[stinkpot]

Hey Puckthemad! 48 hours... good stuff! For the DVXuser community this is a very honorable piece of work. It really says a lot about your love of filmmaking and your appreciation for this community.

Kyle has a couple points... if you are using this for outside promotion, most people won't be familiar with the fests and there themes. It might need some other explanation like... "68 filmmakers. 68 dv cameras. One theme. Lots of beer.... DVXuser LOSS FEST!".

For me, I really liked watching these and think this would be kick a$$ to have for every DVXuser fest as a highlights piece.

Well worth the time and effort you put into this.

:beer:

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Kyle, you know I love you, but there is a difference between giving your thoughts and being an ass. I am not saying you were being an ass, but maybe that was a bit too harsh. Rodney did a fine job, in my opinion. I enjoyed them and I know others did too.

[Rodney V. Smith]

I'll have to watch them again later when i have a little more objectivity. I kinda just blazed through them trying to find the best parts/shots of each film. So I may have bungled it a little.

Let's see if we can stay on message and fix them up so that its relevent to everyone.

Let the suggestion flow people. Let your voices be heard.

In the meantime I'm going to do crash.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Trailer looks good, man. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

Cheers,

Mike

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Rodney is prolly one of the hardest workin bastards on the boards. He is passionate about his work. I throughly enjoy watching the Promos, and appreciate having my film involved!

Rogan

Heres to more promos

[Tom Marshall]

Rodney's my heeeeero... :)

[Mattykins]

I like the concept, but it feels like a poor execution.

Titles feel awkward, amateur... and the copy is strange. "Imagine what they do for Loss Fest" ???

Wow - I think that was an exceptionally low blow. At least he is putting these together and doing something for the community.

That said - I throughly enjoyed the trailers as is. I saw the first two and I loved the concept. Props to you man for doing it. And the entire fest compilation was impressive.

My only comment is the audio levels do something funky when the audio from the films come in. Aside from that little detail - I like it. Excellent work.

[Brian Parker]

Liked the final trailer man. Thanks for putting something together to help with our outside promotion!

[Bernie Hipos]

Wow! Great stuff man! Thanks for including my film. Cheers!

[Maximus]

Great initiative... not to mention, a great job! :dankk2:

[Rodney V. Smith]

thanks guys. glad you appreciated the effort.

While Kyle's comments did take the wind out of my sails, he did have a good point about lack of cohesive branding.

For any major advertising, one of the first things that needs to be decided is branding to have cohesion across the entire line. From videos to posters to banners, etc. That way you're not choosing arbitrary fonts and colors "just because you think they look cool".

I'm willing to re-edit the trailers (changing the fonts to be representative of the DVXUser brand) but some kind of decision needs to be made (probably at a moderator level) about exactly what that branding is.

If it's a set guideline that we can all follow, there's nothing stopping us from creating our own marketing schemes that are at least all related through the branding.

One good example of this is Sabi. Sabi was the first to introduce a podcast and that is one guy who is always thinking about branding. He is consistent with his materials, and as a result made me try to emulate his presentation (leader and end notes) so that there was a cohesive "dvxfest" look to them (if not a Sabi look).

Let's try to have a good marketing message out there, instead of a scattered one.

Input or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Mods, feel free to chime in at any time.

That was last year Drew? :Drogar-Evil(DBG):


Just kiddin' mang - Really dug Mary's Travel Brochure BTW

[WayneB]

Hey Puckthemad, THANKS, tremendous effort. Official or not is beyond my pay grade, the effort is greatly appreciated by me.

Wayne

[MrKilloran]

Hey these are awesome, thanks for including my film :)

[Ben Sliker]

I actually have the "Please be a cat" line in there guys. it was one of the most memorable ones. I also have "She liked BACON" from "My Name is Harold Allen".

i believe she hated bacon ...

[Rodney V. Smith]

well i like bacon, so maybe i wanted her to like it as well? :grin:

oops, my goof.

[Ben Sliker]

i do appreciate the amount of hard work that went into these, but I'm not such a big fan of a trailer to promote how awesome DVXfests are being cut together from heavily compressed and muxed footage. Fun for a tribute video, not so great for promotion.

[Rodney V. Smith]

i do appreciate the amount of hard work that went into these, but I'm not such a big fan of a trailer to promote how awesome DVXfests are being cut together from heavily compressed and muxed footage. Fun for a tribute video, not so great for promotion.

not my favorite either, and they're definitely not tv ready with the compression settings, especially since they're re compressed once again. Believe me, i hate to see my very dark film come out looking so grainy in the compression.

The fact that there were so many different camera used, from HD to SD cameras, all different resolutions (even some of the HD was 720, some 1080, and then there's the RED footage) makes it even more difficult to get good quality rendering especially for promotion on the internet. Even if we were to get good quality clips of each film in the highest resolution possible, somebody's movie is not going to be properly represented with the best resolution.

I'd like good quality images for promoting the fests, but there are certain limitations that we have to endure and unless promotion is being set up for the next fest, while the current one is going on, there is no real way to make sure that all materials would be delivered in a timely fashion so that promotion could go forward in a timely fashion, representing the fest in the best possible light.

Any suggestions that anyone has to improve on quality, the look, the feel, the cohesion of marketing to the outside DVXUser world, please make them. I'd like to not operate in a vacuum and we all put too much work into our films.

Let's hear your voices.

[majikfraug]

"Imagine what they do for Loss Fest"

Grammatically, I think, "Imagine what they'll (or, "they will") do for Loss Fest," would sound better. Otherwise, great work!

[Zak Forsman]

these criticisms are more or less irrelevant. all five spots show iconic shots from the films and direct the viewer to the dvxfest.com link. that's enough. best of all, they're short. what we need is to get them in front of eyeballs. let's push these things out there, "embed and spread" on blogs, youtube, vimeo, facebook, myspace, metacafe, dailymotion, stupidvideos, revver, aol videos, blip.tv, veoh, crackle, viddler, etc.

puck, can you upload the files somewhere so we can grab them? i want to get these out there asap.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

agreed Zak!

Rogan

[Zak Forsman]

i would also like to encourage everyone, if you have a blog, start talking about this fest and tag your articles with "dvxfest" so we can track them through technorati. if you dont have a blog. start one.

http://wordpress.com
http://www.blogger.com
http://twitter.com (microblog)

talk about the films you saw last fest, what you liked, what you didn't, talk about the film you are making this time. personally, i think the lack of outside promotion to date has made dvxfest into one of the filmmaking communities "best kept secrets". and that's the angle i will play up in my promotion for the fest. i'm going use my contacts to try and get us some online radio interviews and i'll make mention of the fest in the articles i write for workbook project.

this new allowance for "outside promotion" is a wonderful opportunity for us to actively expand our audience collectively, beyond this forum. we can't live by the thought of "if we build it, they will come". they won't.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Zak you make an excellent point. We ALL do need to get more involved in this promotion opportunity.

Use the banners, posters, trailers and most of all, link everyone back to the fest so they know about it. We can at least plant a seed so when we remind them in March, the interest is already there.

[Zak Forsman]

your right, puck. the promotion and awareness building needs to happen now. these next few months give us the opportunity to build an audience for march the likes of which past DVXFests have never seen. hmmm... i think we need a mailing list for email blasts. i'm going to open a google docs account and I'll post the login back here so everyone can add to it. another doc with press contacts would be good too.

[Zak Forsman]

seriously, can i get a download of the five trailers? i can carpet-bomb the internet with them.

[Rodney V. Smith]

I'll post direct links to download from. the embeds link are under each trailer at the moment.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Links to download the trailers. Now go forth and bombard the internet.

[Tim Joy]

I like the idea of getting a wider audience, and there are two issues that I think are pretty important here.

1. Many people asked me, "How do I see the other films?", and of course I tell them you have to sign up to dvxuser... a real drag for some. I think there should be a way for "guests" to see the movies without needing to login or sign up. The login option would be there for the users that are elegible to rate the film.

2. If we're sending out a link now, what should it be? The DVXFEST link leads one to a world of trouble if you start to explore past festivals, as there are MANY dead links to movie files, and it isn't clear which ones are the winners, so a person is bound to lose interest quickly. If the link goes to DVXUSER, or the lossfest thread, they are seeing a LOT of "Stuff" and everyone I have pointed that way has gotten overwhelmed in the "clutter". Not to mention the fact that at this point, it's a lot of ridiculous thread-bumping banter with not much substance for anyone outside the dvxuser bubble.


I'm all for promoting things around here, because the quality of work is excellent and deserves more eyes on it, but I feel like there needs to be a cleaner "marketing" plan, with interesting content in order for it to work.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Agreed. A more graphical interface to encourage outside viewers would be useful... similar to vimeo or youtube.. or like how atomfilms.com used to be set up.

Quick easy viewing with emphasis on the winners (finalists) would be an awesome addition. the DVXFest is it's own link right now, why not make it it's own creature and take it all the way into the mainstream?

[Larry Rutledge]

DVXfest.com will be the clearinghouse for all things festival ... and it is in the early stages of being re-designed (or finally designed :) ). I've been so busy getting the code working that the site's face has lacked attention, and so far that's been ok. But with the inclusion of outside promotion, it's time to improve our "curb appeal"

[Rodney V. Smith]

i think that's where the mods step in and set some type of limit on submissions.. it's going to happen eventually... it's just a matter of when.

[Tom Marshall]

We'd definitely have to limit entries to one per person...

[Zak Forsman]

imho, having the number of participating films increase is a small price to pay for increasing viewership beyond the confines of this forum.

btw, that www.dvxfest.com at the end of the videos is placed perfectly. and i'm glad you didn't fade out to black on it. because after the videos play on youtube that address just sits there, perfectly legible. good music selections too.
