Any of the shorts from the very first Zombiefest online?

[Mike Krumlauf]

I had the DVD way way back in the day and loved most of the films.. would be great to walk down memory lane and view some of them. Question 2.. does anyone still have their dvd from the first Zombiefest? There was one short I remember having a bluish color to it and took place in a parking garage.. loved that one.

Over 11,000 people in 2 years viewed this with no response. bummer! Really loved those first zombiefest shorts, even bought the DVD (have no idea where it went over the years). Nobody has theirs online anywhere? its getting around halloween season, would love to see them as a little throwback!

Hey Mike. I think my brother Ian may have the original DVD???. It's been ages to be honest so I'm not sure. I'll send him a note. (His entry is still on YT. I helped out on that one too... doing what I forget now at the moment, I hadn't tried CG yet then. ) There would be some copyright issues concerning sharing the DVD without question so that would be a no-no there. Let me see if he even has the DVD still handy-ish and I'll shout back for recapping maybe. It may be a few weeks.

Until then, my brothers entry anyways. Having fun with the kids and his new dvx. 2005 I guess it was. -Cheers.

Thanks for the shares! Great walk down memory lane! Almost makes me want to buy a DVX again just for fun. They are so damn cheap now.

Holy smokes it's been a while. I don't think Texas Fortune is online anywhere, I'd have to search through some old hard drives.

Please do. If memory serves it went on the "indie circuit" and had to be pulled for legal reasons concerning that end. We would love to see it again.

Can someone else post a god damn thing in this thread so I don't have to keep seeing my damn name every time I pass by it? And just for kicks, you know what, f'it. Remember 02 from another former fest?
Well me and my beer sure as hell do. (aren't I sneaky haha) .

Oh man, that reminds me of that Matt Damon survival film 'Gerry' released the following year. Oof, good stuff.

I feel a need to clarify that. As with most any fest anywhere, it is usually a requirement that the entry not be currently running in another fest. I chose poor words in my original post above.
It was not "pulled" nor for "legal" reasons. It was simply removed by the entrant after the dvxfest was over so that it could then run in other fests also. I apologize for any confusion.

That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

The Good ol days. - http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/forumdispl...ZombieFest-II&
I made alot of life-long friends here over those years.
It must still be for sale if a mod can post a link to buy the DVD. That'd be cool. Good times.

//If I dare say a number of folks that I've talked to recently have all agreed, not in a bad way mind you, in a dissapointing way, that the dvx crowd has moved away from film-making, truth be told. That's been my feed-back.
I'd love to see it come back to focus on film making again with writers & sound designers getting into it and so forth: Good times back then.
But then, yes I understand, the resolution of vids back then was 720p.(actually was it 480p I think? haha Oh my.) Nowadays it is more CPU intensive. ;)

hehehe. Whoot. That's what I'm talking about.

//Off topic a bit but how about doing a fest for indie bands that don't have any videos yet? How? Use your imagination.Maybe have them submit ones to create for and ... -Crazy thought.
