JANUARY DVXFEST UPDATE
It's that time of the month again. Some of you are deep in the throes of editing, while others are waiting for the FEDEX guy to deliver your DVX. The January DVXfest deadlines looms, but you've still got until midnight, January 31st to enter your five minute masterpiece. As long as I get a working link to your film by midnight on the 31st, you're in the running. Some of you have asked if that's midnight EST. Since we're an international community, as long as it's midnight January 31st in some part of the world, you can still enter. For those of you living on the international date line--why not use that extra day for some cool fx work?
As a reminder, your film must be *entirely* shot and edited during this month and can't contain any copyright violations. Message me with your link or email me at xtol7@yahoo.com. Full contest details are available at:

COOL PRIZES
DVXfest is primarily a monthly short film festival and a chance to have your work seen by hundreds of fellow filmmakers. But what could be better than showing off your film and getting a cool prize? Plus, all 2005 monthly winners will be eligible for the Best of DVXfest 2005 award and the sweet prize that goes with the title. The January winning filmmaker will have a choice of one of the following prizes:
The DVX Book and DVD--How To Get the Most From The Revolutionary DVX100 and DVX100a Cameras by Barry Green, Jan Crittenden, and Harry Foulds. AKA "The Book"
http://www.dvxuser.com/articles/dvxbook/
Our own Barry Green is one of the world's experts on the operation of the DVX100. If you've read even one of his posts, you know that Barry can succinctly explain even the most technical of subjects in a clear understandable style. The DVX book will help you get the most out of your camera and is a mandatory accessory for your DVX.

They came up with a groundbreaking camera that's allowed indie filmmakers and video producers to achieve an unprecedented level of quality at a reasonable price. If you haven't purchased your camera yet, make sure you get a genuine Panasonic USA DVX100. Thanks Jan.
