I know it's not about the prizes, but I did hear a rumor that 1st prize this time was a date with Barry Green at White Castle.

No an old lady in a wheel chair. Jarred and Barry will still have to chip in and buy it, but Pete is getting them a deal at cost.

The wheel chair is not much good without the old lady because the wheel chair by it self appears upside down in the HVX. You need an old lady and (Barry Green in a car) to flip it.

With the DVX you can use the wheel chair by itself and just flip it with a magnet.

But with teh HVX you need an old lady in the wheel chair and a Barry Green driving in a city where there is no right on red.
 
Yes. Great find there. There are a lot of DIY solutions out there to the Old Lady in a Wheel Chair problem with the HVX.

Please forgive me for an "on topic check" at this juncture however :)

Since it's not about the prizes, and this thread is about the rules, lets keep the emphasis on useful info if we can. :beer:

(I know, I know ... I started it :cheesy:)

If there are further questions about the rumored 1st prize of an outing to white castle with Barry Green complete with old lady in wheel chair, please PM me :thumbsup:

If you want to shoot on different cameras, I hope we see a little film and even something like Patryk Rebisz' still-camera film. Webcams and Nokia N93's would be cool too, depending on the needs of the story.

Sweet! I'm tempted to go Super8. Just because i can. i'd better get to ordering some film.
 
Ok. Not to have delusions of grandeur or anything, but how many films can one enter into the fest? For some strange but wonderful reason this genre, especially with the "any camera" ability, I've story/projet ideas coming out the wazoo. Not like I'm going to make a dozen films or anything, but just wondering how I can screen more than one film in the fest if that's what happens?

In the past they have set the limit at 2.
 
Well Im hoping to enter 2, just create a seperate account and enter...then vote for your other films.

>_>

<_<
 
Ki-Ki. We do watch for that sort of thing. Tsk-Tsk.

Jack. Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag, on first prize. You should be ashamed. But, that is actually second prize. Jack is just being modest. The winner of the fest gets to give Jack a full body waxing. :)

And, on a more serious note:

If anyone has any questions about rules, or the fest in general... Barry_S and Larry_R are the final word on these things. If you have a question that is time sensitive, and you prefer not to post in the public forum, one of these two guys can give you the definitive answer.

Otherwise, if you can wait, Larry_R is hard at work on a sister site, that will house all the info you need to know about this and future fests. And some other goodies too. The main 'fest' site will be a while still, but expect a page with full details and rules, etc. sometime soon

Thanks,
Jason

Yeah, Larry, thanks for your hard work. :thumbsup:
 
Don't worry, I wouldnt do something like that. Thats just plain pathetic and spoils the whole point of the festival. Anyway you'd have to be depressed enough to post on the forum over 100 posts to qualify your vote.

Bye peeps,
 
I'ma actually take a shot at this. I haven't entered any of the previous contests but I think I'll give this one a go! :)

DVXuser SPYFEST Short Film Festival

Rules
All films must be no longer than 6 minutes including credits.

The festival category is Spy - Think James Bond.

The central character of all films must be named Rob or Robin.

This is the first festival open to all cameras.

All films must be "R" rated or lower. Our "R" rating is pretty loose and it’s a hard R.
“In the opinion of the Rating Board, this film definitely contains some adult material. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about this film before they allow their children to accompany them. An R-rated film may include strong language, violence, nudity, drug abuse, other elements, or a combination of the above, so parents are counseled in advance to take this advisory rating very seriously.”

All filmmakers agree to grant DVXuser.com and its agents non-exclusive rights for their films to appear on a potential Spy-Fest DVD or for DVXuser-sanctioned public screenings. Deliverables must be formatted as16:9 or 2:35 anamorphic in the requested file format.

Contest open to every country and films may be in any language. Non-English films must have English subtitles.

All films must be made between Feb 1, 2006 and MAY 30, 2007 and must not have been publicly screened prior to entry. The entry deadline is MAY 31, 2007 and no films or revisions to films will be accepted after this date. Entry instructions will be posted closer to the deadline.

Films may only be promoted on DVXuser.com before screening and no actual footage from films may be screened prior to the DVXuser screening. No promotion on external web sites is allowed until after the screening has been completed.
Films may be entered in other festivals as long as they aren’t screened prior to May 31, 2007.

No entry fee, of course :)

I dont understand this. You said that one of the prerquisites for enter the dvx user spy fest is that movies must be made between Feb 1 2006 and May 30 2007. But you just posted this on march 3 2007. So that means that people only have about few weeks to do this? or people knew about this festival before? sorry i joined this forum recently.
 
There was some discussion of the forum topic before the official rules where posted. Some members started pre-production in February.

From March 3 to May 30, is 3 monthes, about 12 weeks, which is fair time to produce a 6 minute peice.


- Mikko ... has an idea, but has yet to begin writing.
 
Hey Prisma,

Also members know that a fest is coming every 4 months.

But, beyond that I think that 2006 may be a typo, because
1) usually it must be made between the last fest and the deadline for the new fest, which would be 2/1/2007 to May 31t, not 2/1/2006, before Spyfest had ever been thought of.
2) They are going to some trouble to make sure the films were made for these fests and not for something else and just entered hear with the main character name rule.
