Ask Sci-fest Voting And Viewing Questions Here

Chris- If you put your username in the top row it will autofill the whole column. Re: DQs We're not going out of our way to DQ films, so there will be a small leeway to account for encoding changes.
Barry,
I'm a nervous wreck now...

Edit: So...is my pony still officially in the race?

I'll try and post a PDF or some other alternative ballot later tonight. Jarred shiuld have the fiom discussion subforum up tonight as well. No film promotion is allowed until after the voting is closed-so I'd hold off on showing it publicly until we close the vote.

I dont have excel. I have an excel viwer, but it does not allow me to write on it, so a pdf will be a lot better, or maybe a web based system, as polls.

Also, when will the subforum be created for discussing?

And last question, now that the festival has started, are we allowed to show the films in public sites too?
Bye!
 
If there are any big encoding glitches, post the film titles here and we'll see what we can do. Some of the files we received have issues, but we can always try reencoding files with major problems. Jarred did all the encoding, so I'll let him know there's some issues.
 
Surrendered Cargo
and
The Man From Hollywood :
Both have severe encoding issues it seems.


The Gaussian Project :
seems as though it has a sound issue, though, it might actually be part of the film… I’m not sure. The audio track sounds reversed and what should be coming out the left speaker is coming out the right and vice versa. No problem with encoding on this one.

What about BTS stuff, if someone asks questions of a tech nature? (Meaning, can I have a link to a page showing how-I-did whatever?)
 
regarding overtime - an example is Kaz's film - its amazing - truly amazing - I am very impressed with it - is it in the running? 20 secs over but i have a feeling he will deserve some prize.
 
For all the people who can't use the xls file, there is a great open-source program called Open Office, made by Sun Microsystems and distributed for free that does nearly everything that Microsoft Office does. You can get it at www.openoffice.org/
 
Not sure if this was answered somewhere else.

Considering there are separate prizes for camera work and editing, how is it that we're supposed to rate both of these together under cinematography???

I'm NOT a hard-on about rules, but I know for many of us another XX seconds/minutes would have been useful, but we gave that up to stay at 6 minutes. Curious on when and how it will be decided how much time over is too much if a film goes over time by more than a few seconds?
 
Jarred posted the my DVD version instead of my 6 minute version. What am I supposed to do? I don't want this to screw up the voting!

I already PM'd Jarred about it. In reality though, my credits are 1 min 30 sec.
 
Dan--please hold off on the BTS material until after the vote. Until then, you're free to discuss your film in the single discussion thread we'll be allowing for each film. Kaz--sounds like our mistake, so don't worry. We should be ablr to replace it with the other version.
 
Just got back from eating breakfast (3 runny eggs and 2 pieces of toast, and a Diet Pepsi(I love days off!)) What happened when I was gone?
 
watched Kaz's film.... Wow!!

Kaz, you got talent, my man. Very impressive.
I'll hold off on my comments until the forum for the films is up!!!

'K. It'll be more fun that way, anyway. Let 'em guess. :D

Thanks! Maybe with all these replies I've been doing today I can get my post count up high enough to vote!
