1st Time Filmmakers & 1st Time Entrants Say Hello Here

I am a first time entry, but not a first time filmmaker. Is a year and half that i brought my canon XL2 and i have done a number of things (commercials, weddings, live events).

Counting only "fiction" things, i have done 4 shorts beetween january and semptember 2007 as a camera operator/cinematogapher (each is at least 15 min. long). I have shot/directed/edited 2 shorts (one is 13 min, the other is 4 min) for a local education company and edited 2 other shorts for another company (editing is'nt really my job); i am the camera operator for a medium-sized feature (is'nt really a short, 'cause it will be nearly 40 min long) that is currently in the final editing stage, and another short is currently in the shooting stage.

I just wrapped a 3 day of shooting for an acting class final year short, shot with my XL2 as A-camera and another HVX200 as a B-camera (but in SD, not HD)

5.00 is my first Dvxfest entry; and the first one i did for myself and not for someone else.
 
First time entry right hea!
Been watching these festivals forever, always admiring the level of artistry and cinematography that comes out from these independent film makers. I'm jumping in the boat now. I'm sure there's tons to be learned :)
 
Hey there. I'm a first time 'fester. Our entry is entitled "Survival".

My name is Jeremiah Rounds, out of the Mojave Desert of Southern California (currently in Lucerne Valley). I've worked on a lot of shorts, some features that didn't pan out :), music videos and corporate stuff.

You can check out our videos at: www.visionammunition.com

I'm into all aspects of film-making: writing, directing, acting, editing, sound, effects, make-up, costumes, etc...

I shoot on a good old fashioned DVX-100b, edit on Final Cut, visual effects in AE.
 
Hi this is my first time directing a shortfilm. I hope i can have my entry ready for sunday.
I´m so happy about this project!

First Time fest entry here.

This particular film has been the craziest production I have been part of. I did learn a lot but I wish I could have learned without all the drama.
 
Hi, done a lot of things here and there ... but this is my first time really pushing to complete something as well as my first Fest.
 
This is my first DVXUser Fest. My film is called FROM THE FUTURE: A MUSICAL. You can expect singing and dancing :-).

That's awesome a musical! There are so many great films being entered this fest I've only been here for 3 fests but I think this is going to be the best!
 
It's about TIME I got off my a$$ and did this festival. My first entry....

The Enchanted Notes of a Puppy-Love Piano


I still haven't gone to bed since Sat.

This is not my first film, but it was the first time shooting with a DOF adapter, lots of lights, a crane, a small crew, an anamorphic workflow, and a very ambitious project for the TIME that I had given myself. Needless to say, the project suffered as a result, but I learned a LOT this and will know better in the future.

I can't wait to see the other entries!

Edit: I just realized that the version I sent up in my tiredness is only mostly 2.35 aspect, sometimes it jumps out to 16:9, most annoying ....ooppps

This is my first film ever. I worked with my daughter and her school mates, and we had tons of fun doing it. I have no doubt my film is not any where near pro quality, im just glad we got it done, even with all the errors and bad acting.
 
I entered the film "Escape from the Past". It is my first entry into any DVXuser fest and I am looking foward to hearing some critiques on it.

Hi everyone, let me start by saying that DVXUser is the BEST. It is refreshing to see a community that actually behaves, well like a community. The advice and support are incredible, as I grow as an artist I hope that I will be able to make useful contributions to the community. Great job everyone.

Woohoo! Welcome and have fun!:2vrolijk_08:
 
This is also my/(& my team's) first DVXuser fest.

Our film is called WELLSDAY.

We've been doing a bunch of 48-hour fests (locally, here in Hawaii).....and we kind of treated it the same way......despite having MONTHS.

Oh well, it was fun. I am looking forward to the next fest and using much more of the alloted TIME!
