This question was addressed during the zombiefest, and I think that the way the moderators looked at it was that since this was a 'DVX Community' that was what they were going to focus their festivals around.
 
I just updated my unofficial official list. We're up to 47 people who have said that they're in like a verizon customer. We still got some others who are on the fence.

Wow, 47 people... I'm still saying that this is going to be bigger than the zombie fest.
 
ESPECIALLY since they NEVER had that many people saying in advance that they were doing the zombie thing ... I think they had maybe 30 or so ... then nearly 80 entered.

Keeping the same ratio, and assuming the same thing happened here, it would mean 125 films entering. I've already been figuring anywhere between 100-200 entries by the time the 31st roles around.
 
yeah, looks like a good turnout so far. i can only speak for myself, but i passed on the last fest because the zombie subgenre simply doesn't appeal to me. sci-fi, on the otherhand, offers a vast world of philosophical and theoretical ideas to explore. im researching time travel, telepathy, perception, dreams, the unknown, et cetera and by november i hope to narrow my focus. then, i'll write it in november, shoot it in december and have my girlfriend cut it in january. should be fun.


oh, and not that it really matters, but my handle is misspelled on page one.

Cygnet74.... not cuqnet74.

Yeah, and we're talking about how we're going to handle the viewing and the voting. It's going to be a MASSIVE chore.
 
Hey Avery, why aren't you going to do it? I know you were concerned previously about there not being prizes for the XL2, but I hope that's not what's keeping you out. You said you had an insanely cool idea, so it would do you well to just follow through with it & put your best effort forward. You'll learn a ton, and be glad you did.

David, is there a way to semi-easily duplicate what Spacey's triggerstreet.com does with their process? Seems like they've got it down to a science.
 
Spouse says yes but I'm more inclined to just view the final entries. I have no experience with cg (computer graphics?) and it seems this is a big part of the contest which will lead to some cool effects. We came up with a story idea but not one that can be pulled off without a lot of expense. Barring a change of mind, I'm out on this one. Good luck to everyone. I will look forward to seeing the new films.

Cygnet 74 mentioned several that you wouldn't have to have ANY CG for ... i.e. time travel, dreams, etc. Get away from the stereotype your brain may be initially telling you about Sci-Fi, and I think you'll find you don't need any CG to tell a cool story.

Just my opinion, but I think the films that are going to win will have very little CG/FX & will be based more on story/camera ... unless the CG is mind blowingly amazing ... which I'm guessing will be well less than 10% of the entries, if that even.
