DVXFest Leaders II:

Around years end we'll be adding to the DVXFest leader pool.
Since we'll be updating the pool from time to time this fest will run concurrent to the regular CGIFests.

You have until December 14 to complete your entries.

We'll announce an upload date and link prior to uploading.
After voting all of the entries will be added to the official DVXFest leader pool.


Same rules and conditions as before.

Subject: DVXFest Leaders

Animated logo leaders which will appear opening dvxuser.com DVXFest entries.

The content of the leader will be a "dvxuser" logo of the user's design and the following text: "Official DVXFest Participant". There are no font or color restrictions for the logo or the additional text.

All CGIFest entries will be added to the current pool for selection by DVXFest entrants to use as leaders. For the 3 winners... to be determined... Bragging rights at least...


Here's an .obj file of the dvxuser logo if you can use it...dvxlogo.obj

* Credits are allowed however the entries will later be required to submit the leader as an uncompressed image sequence without credits and produced at 24p or 25p for use in the DVXUser fests. Further details will be announced.

Edited: Sept 04.

I pushed back the CGIFest Bumpers for next year to focus on the above DVXFest leaders.
We'll be running the bumpers at a later date to be announced. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post here or PM myself or Towerfan.

Remember that these two fests run concurrent to the regular CGIFests. You may work on these entries anytime from now until then.

Entering all of the regular CGIFests and the leader fests could be daunting but
generally the leaders and bumpers can be worked on in one's spare time, if you`re lucky to have any.
A good time is in the 2-week period between a given CGIFest upload end and the beginning of the next CGIFest.
And if your not busy with a current CGIFest then this will allow you to still get in on the action.

The DVXFest Leaders viewing and voting will happen first followed by the CGIFest Bumpers viewing and voting.
Those top entries will also go into the selection for the "Best of Year" fest that will follow.

Good luck and don't be afraid to start a thread and post your progress in whatever your working on. Have a good one.

So when do you guys want to wrap this? I was thinking somewhere between Nov and Jan.

If Jan of next year is okay I'll shoot for around the 4th.
 
Cancelled due to %100 lack of response. No offense but you guys suck. Thanks for the overwhelming lack of interest. Alright? (//edited the poopoo part out.).

//another edit: That was a poor choice of words on my part. Carry on.

Allllllrighty then, the deadline is December 14. First post has been updated.
Good luck.
 
Great F1/Jason. Your last leader has really been making the rounds. Pretty much a first place entry as to regards of popularity with the dvxfest filmmakers. Grats man.

Just a couple notes as I'm watching the dvxfests entries.
Maybe if someone is short of ideas, I'm thinking people could maybe use a grunge leader, a retro B&W leader for the 50's 60's clips, maybe a Grindhouse as well.

I haven't started mine and don't have a concept yet but I'm leaning towards one of the above so I thought I'd toss that out there.

thanks
Yeah Im suprised mine was used so much, guess it fit the theme well. Im going to make a couple this time around. I want to make one with c4d, that ive been trying to learn.
 
You guys get this rocking. I'm sure everyone would love to have as many leaders as possible to choose from. I may be able to do a small cash prize for the winner here. All submitted leaders will be eligible for use by filmmakers in dvxfest though.

Later,
Jaosn
