Prizes

are you kidding??? If youre really serisou about filmmaking you can get a job ( if you dont already have) save up a few huindred bucks and rent a DVX for a few days to shoot your Film. you dont need to already own anything.

If you cant afford renting, go to a film school, and ask the students, im sure most of them ahve a DVX or can tell you where to find one.

If you really wanted it you would make it happen. And stay within contest rules, and if youre good, win the HVX.

I understand what your saying, but what I mean is... all Ive been told since I signed up for DVXuser is that with good writing, sound, lighting, directing, and editing, youve got a good film. The camera is the least of your worries. The rule of only DVX and HVX films contradicts that.

I guess Ill wait a year or two till I can afford one.
 
An HVX prize doesn't negate the content is king rule. That's still true and that's what we tell people when they whine because they don't have X camera or X piece of gear and think that therefor they can't make their film. Doesn't mean we don't appreciate the best tools when we can get our hands on them and pine for them when we cannot.

Why such an "awful prize" ...
  1. this is a DVX/HVX site ... you know a club for guys that like those cameras ... didn't you get the lodge hat and secret handshake?

  2. This is Jarred's backyard. In your own backyard you can have any kind of luau you want.
  3. I have DVX. I would be thrilled to win an HVX.
  4. If someone that already has an HVX wins one will I be less thrilled than if someone who didn't have one wins it ... sure a little, but someone who owns an HVX already can shoot double coverage ... rent it to the tune of $500 bucks a day to finance your films and indie film lifestyle ... sell it and buy more gear or finance a crazy short or a super low budget feature.
  5. The vast majority of people in the community here do not have an HVX so it would be a good prize.
  6. The vast majority of people in the community here DO have a DVX and are therefore eligible to enter and win this fantastic upgrade.
  7. what do you want to be given away ... a Sony Interlaced Only? ... it's a DVX/HVX site lol.
AND

I bet you Jarred will extend a one time only eligible for you. Go shoot your film and if you win then you can take it home.

If Jarred won't go for that then I'll buy you one. So enter as an exhibition film and if you win first place, and Jarred won't make an exception to the DVX/HVX only rule, I will buy you an HVX. :)

Good luck. I look forward to your entry :thumbsup:

And Hey PTO ... I don't mean to tease you too much ... I DO get what you are saying, but that's my take on it. :)

And yeah Timur's right a really movtivated individual could get their hands on an DVX and enter - they're everywhere.

Where are you, again? Maybe you could crew somebody's short in exchange for shooting yours.

Also if you put and ad in craig's list that says, DP with DVX for 3 day shoot for horror short you will probably get someone. Even more likely if you can offer $100 a day or so :thumbsup:
 
You just can't help but love this place. I mean you go from someone complaining about first prize being an HVX to restraining orders from girls.

I'm in love!!:love4:

And to Jarred and the guys.... I made Edgen's movie title in my pants.

Thank you for that- Im glad you saw it my way (kinda) and I do understand your take on it.

You were right, I did nothing all summer, no movie made. And I cant make a HorrorFest movie now, school starts monday. You can "told you so" me. I am in the middle of writing a script right now, and hate the way it looks, but this time Im not going to delete it (like I have with all my other feature length scripts). But next year, Ill have a car and a job, so, watch out for pto.

Anyways, good luck HorrorFest Contestants.
 
PTO buddy --- please never delete another feature script again.

When you do that you make the baby Jesus and the American Indian from that old anti-littering commercial cry. :cry:

Most people can't finish a feature script.

If you hate it, keep it on your hardrive a year and then take another crack it.

You may find that your new distanced perpsective on the material opens it up in new ways and you are really able to polish it into a gem.

If you delete it ... well all that work is for nothing. :(

I know, I hate myself for it. But at the time, it seemed like a brilliant idea, putting away the beast I had written away for good. I know I wont anymore, but now I have no ideas. My biggest problem is I am terrified of copying from other movies (too obviously). Everytime I get an idea for something, its too similare to another movie, and I get discouraged, because using someone else's idea is just amateurish.

Im an original person, always with an idea, but now Im fresh out of ideas.
 
hey pto ...
I just moved to charlotte ... I'll shoot anything you want for timur's suggested 100 bucks a day ... lol.

but seriously, where do you live?

Charlotte suburbs... Concord. I cant say anything else, cause Im on pedophile-alert. I dont know who anyone here is, really, except for JDS, cause he's in a big Hollywood movie (DejaVu).

Thanks for the offer, but I cant afford 100$ a day. Just ask Jack Daniel Stanley- he can answer why.
 
Oh yeah

Oh yeah

And to think......Before now, I was sitting lifeless......staring at my DVX day by day, watching the dust particles fade the colors of the casing to a diluted beige. Then suddenly with a subtle click of my mouse, onto the DVXuser site I went, to discover new life, challenge, meaning and Purpose!!! for my DVX! -------->TO WIN A BETTER CAMERA TO REPLACE IT! AHH AHH AAHHHHH!:Drogar-Dolar(DBG):

Okay! I'm sorry. I've been writing scripts all week and I kinda got lost. Anyway the HVX is a perfect 1st prize :Drogar-Evil(DBG):
