Hey all...

My name is Shane Ingles... I have been a member on the site for a long time, but just today was sent an email regarding the Sci-Fest... So I was intrigued... Then after checking the site and seeing how respected you are Jarred. I thought I'd check you up on IMDB... Where I noticed you were born in Edmonton... (I'm an east coaster from Ontario)... And now just recently I see on your post that your in Vancouver.

Well me too.

Disclaimer...

I know that I am a little drunk and buzzed right now...

We run a comedy night here in Gastown.

www.lvroom.com I left early cause my lady had a root canal a couple days ago and is in a bit of pain.

Anyways... We just finished shooting our Sci-Fi Comedy Interactive Pilot at the CineWorks Studio.

www.1501films.com/labphotos are some random pics. We've also completed a feature called "Zach and Avery of Fergus"

So I guess I just wanted to say Hi... To all on the site I'm guessing I will be checking back a little bit more frequently these days.

Cheers y'all

AND Be carefull Sci-Fest entrants... Did you see those pics???

Sorry... Just a bit of jazz to stir up the competition!!!!
 
I'm apologizing in advanced for being "that guy" and bringing this up again, but did the argument from the old rules thread ever get settled regarding shooting wider than 16:9, but still keeping it in an anamorphic frame?

I searched through it and if Jarred or Barry ever chimed in on it, I missed it.

I'd hate to be DQ'ed with prizes like that on the line. :laugh:
 
They finally said that you can do whatever you want, but Jarred will crop every shortfilm to 16:9. So yes you can go up to 2.35.

MY question is: How do you know for sure that all shorts were done with a dvx100? Anything shot with a XL2 or FX1 will look very similar when CC is applied. So....?
 
I assume you're not entering that film in Scifest, because you've already violated the contest rules about promotion.

"Until the voting is complete and closed, filmmakers may not promote their films on DVXUser or *any* external web site, or use any other means of promotion."

Yes, letterboxed 2:35:1 (or some other wide aspect ratio) in an anamorphic 16:9 file is fine.
