When voting on a film...

After watching "a little Mouth To Feed" I now believe that the HVX can hold up to RED and the Sony cams. Sorry, I had to put that out there.:beer:

Please continue on.
 
I wish I had an HVX. :(

I take it back...I wish I had either an HVX-200a, a Sony ex-3, or any variation of RED camera set up. Perhaps an Epic brain with 617 sensor? :thumbsup:

I still think the DVX produces some of the finest images I've ever seen....that's my story & I'm sticking to it!

I still find it funny that people want higher resolution, sharper images...only to then endlessly tweak the color and add filters, etc. to get the 'film' look. We've watched it happen in the audio industry too...mp3's anyone?

haha, so true, so true. It's a funny little method many of us have adopted.

And I agree about the DVX. A fine camera. Here are some raw images from the camera that I snagged in the fall for a project:

at least vote. I think if you enter, you owe it to your competitors to watch all the films, and perhaps comment. not everybody does.
 
I watch and vote on all the films. That's the only fair way to give everyone a chance.

I don't comment on them all. But I try to. Last fest I commented on all but 3. I want every single viewer to watch and comment on my films so I try to the same.

I watched, commented (real comments, not just a "good job") & voted on every film the last two fests...thinking the favor would be returned....it wasn't for the most part. I worked hard on two films for Twilightfest and was disappointed on the lack of constructive comments & opinions. Afterall, that's the main reason most of us enter these fests. It's those critiques that help make us better filmmakers. I will be very selective this time out and might not even vote until the finals have been chosen.

I understand your frustration, but that's no reason to quit now. We all need all of the votes we can, and since there have been lots of discussions about this (some that were heated), it seems that a lot of people are going to make great efforts in voting on as many films as possible.

Once again, I get why you wouldn't want to. But in order for this to be a somewhat fair festival, we all need to pitch in. Be selective if you must, but I know I'm surely going to continue voting. I've also done it for everyone's films in the past few festivals (even when I didn't enter). You're not alone.

Yes... I agree...I put that great effort in and tried to appeal to others to do the same. Most people thought that 70 films were just too many to watch & comment on. I didn't think so. I'm a one-man show and am lucky if I can find one other person to help out & I know there are a bunch of us here. People put their hearts and souls into these 6 minute productions, months of work & worry. As a member of this community I think we could at least give them the honor of 6 minutes of our time and a few honest words...and get the same in return.

Just checked my TwilightFest entry threads...didn't see any comments from you and I can only assume you didn't vote either (unless you changed your name)? So...feel free to go watch my movies, leave a critique & we'll see what happens this fest.

I'm not sure I saw yours. I had a busy semester and tried to get through all of them. I do apologize for it. There were I think three that I didn't get to with Twilight fest, which was unfortunate. But that's not bad for someone that didn't even enter, I suppose.

I will most certainly watch all of the films this time around and vote/critique.
 
I have to agree that Twilightfest was a disappointment especially in terms of feedback. I was astonished to see how few comments there were, especially given how vocal people had been in the past fests. I'm still gunning for a Kholi review, and honest words from memebers of the community about what they liked or just plain hated about my movies. This kind of feedback stings a little at first, but its usually because it's something you realized at first but didn't want to look at directly. After all, by a cerrain point you get sick of looking at yout film, listening to it.. whatever...

Personally I am a little sick of looking at my films, especially knowing I still have the long edit of KOTL to master. I'm sure we are all very sick of seeing these things and can't wait to share them, pimples and all, just so we can get some good constructive feedback and feel good about the things we DID manage to get right.

We can kick ourselves privately about the things we screwed up on. Then at some point if we;re so inclined, go out and fix it.

I think I lost my train of thought somewhere along the line...

LMAO! Now THAT is funny.... I guess you just proved my point.
:dankk2:
 
ZaZa- I left you a critique of Twisted on its thread. It's late in the game, and you've probably already heard my response from someone else, but better late than never, I suppose.
