Spy Fest Winners - DVXuser.com -- The online community for filmmaking

Barry_S · 06-10-2007, 09:06 PM

Congratulations to all the filmmakers, crew, and actors that entered SpyFest. It's clear that all of you put a lot of effort and creativity into your films and it's been a lot of fun watching your work. The fest servers have been working overtime, because a lot of people have been watching the films. Many of the films have been seen over 500 times over the course of the last week. Almost every film received multiple points, meaning that others thought it ranked as a top film.

I want to thank our generous sponsors for donating the prizes for SpyFest. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will each get to pick one of the following drool-worthy packages.

Varizoom

Brevis35 HD bundle. This package includes the Brevis35 Adapter, Nikon Lens Mount, Charger/AC adapter, and 72mm HD achromat packed in a super-tough Pelican waterproof case"

The Cinevate mattebox package features our mattebox, equipped with two rotating 4x4 filter holders, adjustable eyebrow shades, and an overhead flag. The rails are incredibly versatile, allowing the use of any camera without the use of shims. Small HD cams like the Canon HV20 can be mounted inverted for 35mm lens adapter use."
