[Phil]

Great idea! I love it, it's going to inspire some creativity.

[HansK]

Comedy!? Argh... That's the toughest yet.

Interesting that you pick comedy considering the theme of your winning entry. ;)

[mrbimmer]

Nice theme! Ahh man, I hope I can squeeze another shoot into my busy August schedule.. :P

[Michael Summers]

how explicit can it be? violence/sexual wise?

[J.R. Hudson]

No ratings board here.

[Michael Summers]

so it can have sexual innuendo/sexual humor

[J.R. Hudson]

It can have sex for all I care

[mrbimmer]

[ecoloco]

As long as the movie is funny and two minutes long and it's about an accident waiting to happen.

[Michael Summers]

oooh, bitchin'

[Barry_Green]

Er...

John and ecoloco may not care, but some of us do. *I definitely would not want to see any porn or porn-ish type of films associated with the name of DVXUSER. *As always, Jarred is the final word, but I'd say to keep it clean.

[J.R. Hudson]

Barry I didnt mean that it was cool to have PORN. Keep it R Rated is what I meant. Hell, even PG-13 pushed the limits from time to time. Anyway, to clarify, NO PORN, NO X Rated, NO NC-17. But an R is cool I would think. The illusion of SEX is not a shame.

[Michael Summers]

wtf how can a 16 year old pull off a pr0n? Yeah i meant rated R stuff.

[J.R. Hudson]

Ill call Traci Lords and ask her.

[Michael Summers]

[J.R. Hudson]

She was in John Waters "CRY BABY".

The best porn happens after the images pass your retina, anyway.

anyway, how does 2:10/2:15 sound for a final time? i hope thats ok.

[ecoloco]

I think that as long as you don't over do it it's fine, like having a movie that's over 4 minutes long. 2 and fraction should be OK, but anyway, I'm not the organizer, what do you think john?

eco

[J.R. Hudson]

Im cool with it. The more time the merrier!

[Michael Summers]

when are entries due?

[ecoloco]

Check out the Entry guidelines by Dan Lahav in the Contest thread. He posted this right before the July contest.
All entries MUST be submitted by 12AM PST, two days before the months end, allowing two full days of voting at the end of the month

[Michael Summers]

ill donate webspace if you need it.

[watson]

am i missing something, its august 31th, i came to see some contest films, where are they at?

[J.R. Hudson]

I think this would be a better idea if it had some exposure and perhaps some 'giveaways' (via sponsorship? I dont know). No one really seems to know about it and thats too bad.

[Barry_S]

John,

I think there's a lot of folks that know about the contest. You really got the word out last month and my video had something like 170 downloads through DVXUser. I think the problem is that the contest is too restrictive. Loosen up on the required theme and the time limit and let people submit *recent* DVX projects. Maybe do a theme every 3 months, to give people time to get something together and make the time limit more reasonable, like 15-20 minutes. Just some thoughts.

[kitsu]

I somewhat agree with Barry. I think maybe 6 contests a year would be a good median. Something about having only 4 tho seems a bit long winded.

Also, as someone who is still on dialup, and who has limited time at work to watch 20 minute videos (not to mention producing a longer piece will take that much more time to film and to do the post work on), maybe something in the 5-10 min range will be better. Plus I like the idea of working on keeping my projects tight and without much filler.

That said, Barry, when are us DC area users going to get together and make something KA?

~Andrew

[J.R. Hudson]

I agree completely. But, Dan is in charge of this little venture now!

Bwhahahahhahhah! (Dr Evil laugh)

[Dan_Lahav]

I agree that something has to change. I'll put it to a vote.

[theos]

were there any entries?
