Thanks Esse :costumed-smiley-047

I've got like 15 of them made in total. :) Its on #8 right now. Hopefully when we have our threads, i'll put them all up.

so how does the viewing of the 'show' take place? Is there just hard links to each of the films? And.. Wouldn't that kill the DVXuser server? I think i read in the past entries everyone had to host their own film.

or is this another part of Jarred arsenal of hidden treasures lined up?

In sci-fest Jarred uploaded the individual films as well as some zip files... but there are a LOT less films this time around (at least judging by the list we've compiled here) So, I imagine just a single film link will work for this one...
 
Im waiting Jack... :)

To vote on the films your gonna download a 800mb zip file that has every single film in it, and a ballot. You watch them one by one and vote with the ballet, so you can do it whenever you can in the next week.. on the bus, at home offline etc. put them on your ipod if you want. whatever turns your crank.
 
Holy SMOKES jim!!! I bet that's gonna eat your bandwidth alive! I assume you've got some mirrors and sponsors to take care of that or perhaps a cap on the bandwidth and monitor any spikes?

Plus, are you going to do any promotion via the DVX user website? Say.. a mass email or banners to promote the fest? I would say its a good guess that some of these members have been in hibernation and a little kicker would get everyone back. Not to mention extra traffic, extra people and their buddies telling their other buddies about this fantastic site as a filmmakers haven of resources.

Few people asking me if they uploaded.. Attrocity is fine . If you look at the first post here that Briceman has put together you can see the list of films that are uploaded. if your name isnt on that list, something went wrong.

Yes.. its gonna cost me some pretty $$ i bandwidth bills.. but its how i give back to you guys for sweating your asses off making these films for the community. There are 3 mirrors so we should be fine for awhile, the lower # of films helps a little.
 
Yeah, Jarred usually makes a big banner on the front index page, once the festival's opened up for viewing/judging.

To answer someone's question about if there's less films (or how much less) than the previous fest, the history as best I can recall it is this:

ONE SCRIPT FESTIVAL: 8 Films?

Then Jarred decided to really promote the next festival, which was ZOMBIE FEST: 80 Films

SCI-FI FEST: 60 Films

HERO FEST: 20+ Films?

One script for all to use? That's awesome. Not so good for those who like to write though. A nice way to see how others translate the same story though.
 
Yeah, I believe it would have been a cool excercise. There were a few "Fill In The Blanks", I believe, so there could be SOME variation for the viewers, but not a lot. I wans't even aware of the festivals then, until Jarred had promoted Zombie Fest.

Do or die, I HAVE to sit the next festival out ... maybe even just log off of DVXuser for a few months so I'm not tempted - since I said I wouldn't do this one, and here I am :) ... got a bigger film that I want to shoot this October, and I've promised my wife I'd take some time off from the non-paying work.
 
haha... yeah I hear ya Norm... I've been limited in my time on here too... couldn't make the herofest either...... Dude, I ain't even married yet and I have no time... uhoh...

just shows how awful zombie movies can be and peeps probably were like.. "Dude... i could make a movie better than this crap. OOh. There's a festival I hear? Hell ya, I've got a camera. Some actors. A recipe for blood that I've bookmarked for years now. A cool Ax at my grandpa's shed. A girlfriend willing to act for favors. Bingo. Score. I'm gonna do it.

Hero Fest... "Ooh snap. I need special Effects with the computer. I don't think I can pull it off without making it look silly."

Ooh.. and sci fi.. "Man o' man.. FINaLLY! I can use that old abandoned warehouse on the edge of town and looks like it came STRAIGHT from a sci-fi epic.."

am I close?

Thanks, sorry to be a pain, i'm just making sure or hubby will be really dissapointed if it didn't get up there in time,.. but thanks and disregard my PM then. Sorry again!!
 
DAMNIT

briceman you jinxed me

my whole system just crashed and I lost about 10 minutes of work (whew) and all 1 hours of render! (can't save while rendering)

Also as per my last postl, Compressor is having a known bug and will need to be reinstalled or it will take 4 or 5 days to render the H.264.

So I have two hours of render ahead in the NLE, plus howeverling it takes to reinstall compressor and then render the h.264. Might take a half hour might take to.

If I render a 480 h.264 at 800mb data rate out of FCP then it takes about 20 minutes but I don't know how close I'll come to the file size.

I'll try that first after the timeline is done rendering and if I'm within 10MB I'll upload and replace it later if its too big.

best case scenario
1 hours render in NLE
30 min to make sure the audio is back in and synced
30 min to ???? to render H.264.

or

1 hours render in NLE
30 min to make sure the audio is back in and synced
2 - 4 hours to troubleshoot compressor and render H.264.


could be up in 2 hours , could be up in 4

Hoping we can just start tomorrow as per original planl.


my file will be up tonight, but like an hour before Jarred gets up , not an hour before he goes to bed most likely.
