Official Hero-Fest Rules

Patience! It takes time to secure sponsors, and honestly, the longer the wait the better the prizes will be.

Also, I'd really love to see a screening event for this fest. A lot of DVXers are near southern Cali, and now that Jarred's in LA, perhaps a screening room could be arranged? Lots of possibilities.

That's a cool idea.
 
I own a megaplex with seven digital projectors, stadium seating and popcorn machines in each armrest, we could do it at my place if I were feeling generous, but I think I'd rather keep it all to myself, sorry.
 
Hey guys, never done a DVXFest before and hoping my DVX100b arrives mid April so might give the comp a go. So, just wanting to know, do we need to send our footage or just supply a URL?

I ask cause I'm in New Zealand and it might take a couple weeks to send if it needs to be done that way.
 
if its the same as last 2 contests

you upload to a link that Jarred provides

again if last two contests are precedent setting he'll provide the link close to the deadline

so you don't have to worry about it until they tell us what teh delivery method and formayt are
 
It's up to you whether to have credits, but the total length (with or without credits) can't exceed 5 minutes.
 
Any method of generating pre-screening publicity for your film. Promoting your film on this or any other website, making any promotional materials like banners or graphics that are specific to your film, writing about your film, posting screen grabs or clips--anything that would generate specific interest in your film.

The whole idea is to let everyone concentrate on the art of filmmaking without worrying about doing promotion. Ideally, voters should be watching all of the films without any preconceived notions and as little bias as possible when choosing which films to watch.

LOL!:2vrolijk_08:
 
Hey Barry...I was thinking...during the contests people have their own threads to discuss their films, and I'm pretty darn sure people would be more likely to vote on the threads that are getting the most buzz...so would this constitute as promotion in a way?
 
I think the BUZZ factor does influence things to a degree, but the threads are considered OK promoting as it is on DVXuser AFTER the contest has started.

A lot can be done by the filmmaker to have an "active" thread - mostly by responding to as many posts as you can and trying to give useful information about camera settings and SFX and such.

ideally they are a conversation about the film with people that are enthusiatic about that film and/or have CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms, rather than just a pep rally for the film or a BUZZ machine.
