Gonna do things a little differently this time....

Gonna announce the prizes over the next week or so as I'm still lining them up. We'll see how it goes, but I've got a few very nice ones already.... and as has become a trend of late, some brand new products that'll be coming to the market for the first time...

Start small and build up :)

Going to give away 10 more copies of Stu's Book again. Details here:

Over 300 dollar's worth of books. Stu is donating 40 books a year, so you can expect this to be a main stay in the fests, and some others given away for other things around the site as well.

Also, Tim from IndiFocus has a brand new product coming out. So new infact that there is not yet a picture available :) But, it sounds really cool. IndiFocus is donating a RemoteFollowFocus valued at approximately 800 dollars:
"The indiFocusPro is a wired remote control follow focus that uses S-Video cables, that can go up to 250 feet, and comes with a 25' and 6' cable (think really long whip for use on a dolly). The motor is capable of turning the stiffest of 35mm SLR lenses with over 100oz/inch of torque. Uses a 9v battery and one high capacity battery and charger are included. Weighs 17oz, and is backwards compatible with any indiFOCUSpro Follow Focus as they share the same extension bracket and rod mount.

More to come!

[Richard J. Johnson]

Very cool.

[jasonthewho]

Are those going to be given out at random?

[Jason Ramsey]

(book) not sure yet... I'll probably give away at least some at random. I like being able to give at least something to as many people as possible who took the time to make and enter a film for the fest.

Going to post another prize here in a few....

Later,
Jason

That's really neat.

[Nick_Lee]

[MrKilloran]

Me Likey

[Lawsuit_Boy]

is there going to be a "nice effort rookie...but that wasn't good" award?

I wouldn't mind taking that one. At least it's an award! :thumbsup:

But a pat on the back works too. I'd gladly take that.

[warau]

Wow, nice prizes so far!

[singleframe]

yeah i dig the prizes for sure... we're almost done with our film. been nuts making it.

[Jason Ramsey]

Will update the list Friday with at least 3 more additions. Still working on some more beyond that as well.

Sponsors are coming through pretty nicely considering the state of things. Gonna reach into my bag of contacts and see if we can't sweeten things up all the way up until the end. So, consider the list open until the winners are announced.

Stay tuned.

I think I have a couple of more I can squeeze out and add to the list soon as well... Just need to verify some things, first.

later

[Jason Ramsey]

Ok.... I think this last one is going to be the single biggest prize ever donated for a fest.

But, I'm not going to tell you what it is yet.

Just know that our friends at Abel Cine are donating one prize valued at...... wait for it..... 8,000 dollars....

$8,000.00 dollars!?!

With the current economic climate, this was an amazing surprise when they told me this... But, Abel really has been a long time supporter of the community and wanted to do something special for you guys.

[Eric Meisner]

That's INSANE! Wow...very generous of the guys over there!

I need you to produce my next film Jason...! :grin:

But still a shiny. shiny is good.

[Jason Ramsey]

I'll give you a hint... It's a type of prize that we have had every fest I think since I have been organizing the prizes, except for this one... until now.

later,
Jason

[Zak Forsman]

i think i figured it out. but it usually retails for about $5,000 with an add-on option that costs roughly $3,000. so at $8,000 in value, it is a very generous donation. whether i'm right or not, thank you abel cine for your amazing support of this fest!

[Jeff Anderson]

Figured it out - definitely a Kia Rio.

[Tim Joy]

h m i

[Rodney V. Smith]

sooooooo... I was right about "shiny"?

[Joseph Stunzi]

I figured it out as well. Dang!

[Jason Ramsey]

Well, let's see who was right...

Abel is donating a MOVIEtube ST:

Whoa!!!! Major fucking shiny!

[Jeff Anderson]

Well shit... That's fancy! Thank you to Abel for really upping the ante in the prize department!

[Zak Forsman]

well, i knew it was a 35mm adapter but i thought is was a letus ultimate with the optional zeiss glass added in. so i was wrong. doesn't matter. this is awesome, thank you, abel cine!!!

[vnguyen972]

That is so cool... *drooling*

[Jason Ramsey]

I forgot to add that Barry and david are donating 3 copies of their "Sound for Film and Telivision" DVD as well.

later,

[Sprocketboy]

Abel CineTech is insane and generous. That Movietube is machined perfection. I've dealt with them many times before in their Manhattan store. Professional, courteous and smart are the first 3 words I can come up with to describe them.

[Luis_]

Just wanna say, the prizes are great, I would be in heaven!!! And my wife would make me sleep on the couch with the prizes, and I wouldn't mind! lol...
Enjoy everyone who wins, I'm in for "QuestFest" for shizzel!
