All Hallows Fest 2007 - Submission Info

Michele,

Also, I recently just reorganized a bit in the DVXFest section. It will be making a move soon to and there will be some new things happening in that section so keep an eye on it. The year each fest occurred has recently been added to each previous fest sub-forum description. More specific info will come.

Larry is also working on getting all of the films from previous fests archived on dvxfest.com, so we will have a permanent online archive of every film from every fest going back and moving forward. Right now I think he only lacks the zombie fest films, but we should be getting all of those in fairly short order.

Hopefuly sometime in the future, there will also finally be dvd's available for all of the past fests as well as the present and future ones.

Big things are on the Horizon for the DVXuser online Indy Film Festivals. Bigger fests, prizes and exposure. Stay tuned. :)

Later,
Jason
 
bummer...very confused no mikko...i went to the page...seemed to download just fine but then it said quick time needed...and i have quick time...but all the sudden i had sound...and no video....not a clue in the world why but glad i found out now and have time to fix it....if you have suggestions i will be checking in again tomorrow night
 
Jason....it turned out I did not have the most recent version of Quick Time but it was not telling me that when I asked for updates and newer versions for some odd reason. So I went to the QT page and downloaded the new one and then I could see the videos! I just kept clicking back to Mikko's post for the links until I got the darn thing working



hence this being me again -------->:badputer:
 
Good to hear you got it working! now you can properly join the rest of us in anticipation of the viewing to open... :)

Michele - now that you got that working, I have some bad news for you. We've decided to encode all the films this time in a different format.

Glad to hear you got it resolved ... hope you enjoy watching the films. Keep your eye out for the viewing announcement.
 
quick question about format. it says title (any format). does that mean that "film company presents...title of film" would be ok or does it have to just be the title of film, then the film itself?

Just glad I got it done early and don't have to fuss with it at the last moment...which is the norm for me. Now if some Mothers kids would stop teasing me about new players.....snicker....could not help myself!
 
I'm sorry if this sound stupid; but in order to get the h.264 compression i need to upgrade to the pro version of Quicktime? Or there is another way to go?
 
Kyser - Yes, that's fine.

mik - You don't need the Pro version of quicktime, but you do need version 7 of quicktime to have the h.264 codec in your machine. Beyond that, if you're not sure how to get a h.264 compressed version of your film, I would recommend going to the subforum here that represents your particular NLE and ask how to create it.
 
Well, thanx. I found a friend that can compress the .avi into a h.264 .mov for me.

But, in the end im not in. This time i really wanted to do something; my bad for forgetting that the deadline was too near; just half a week before and everything will be probably gone. I was planning to shoot tomorrow but i ran into some troubles (actress not aviable, actor only aviable at certain times...) better do nothing rather than something made too faster to be good...

Next time maybe... i'm a bit sad 'cause the prize was appealing, other than the fact that i wanted to show myself that i can do something good.
 
Just for clarification:

"The upload form will be deactivated at 12:00AM (Midnight) Pacific Time, Friday, October 26. No films nor revisions will be accepted after that time."

This means 11:59PM on Thursday is the latest we can submit something, correct? Or is it intended to be 11:59PM Friday?
 
So you say it needs 10 seconds of credits at the end. Does it really need TEN seconds, or can it be more like 5? Hahah things would have been so much easier for me if it was a 6 minute cut off.
 
Duff - Yes, it should say 11:59PM Friday, or 12:00 AM Saturday. It's a tricky time to accurately represent.

mrcheapyasui - it needs to be 10 seconds of credits. :)
