(Frame grab is RAW and UNCORRECTED)
 
The grabs and bts are great!! This fest is really shaping up - there's gonna' be some very stiff competition. You guys got me thinking I need to go back and reshoot. LOL.
 
I agree, there appear to be a lot of really strong ideas/visions on the board!

What was it about our frame grabs that makes you think you need reshoot?

I agree! This is only our second DVX entry, and I thought the competition looked strong last time - but honestly, the descriptions, talent and screen grabs I'm seeing really impress me. We're screwed! LOL
 
Quest Fest had fewer entries and not as many strong submissions as in the recent past. But, I must also concur that I'm feeling the heat in this Fest as I did in Lost Fest. Lots of interesting ideas that can pan out to be winners.

The best part of this Fest for me is that I get lots of great feedback to hone my craft, and that makes me a winner already. I'm sure you heard that one before. But, its true.

Yep, although that last quote might sound "cheesy" to an outsider, i.e., non-filmmaker, it is the truth. It is also the reason we are submitting again. We honestly value these people, their work, art and opinion.

Cheers.

I have to totally agree with this. JTyner and I learned so much by participating in one (Sci-Fest, quite a while ago)... and we hope we've raised our game this time around with some of the advice we got. It's so enjoyable just to participate!
 
Quick update on where we are on The Tell:

1. Edit lock.
2. Color grade pass 1 done
3. Special effects version 1 done
4. End credits done.
5. Sound designer working on his magic

Totally agree. The feedback on the thread after people watch the film is awesome. Tons to learn.

Plus, it's really enlightening to review the other films, see what people put together, how they told their stories etc. I think THAT helps hone my craft as well.
 
Word back from our sound designer, Matt Tibbs, that we should have something to review by end of the week. Excited as it all comes together. Tibbs did awesome work on Tarts, Fools and the G-Men.

We don't look too bad for 6AM after 12 hours of shooting...

Team "The Tell" (Left to Right): Katie Curry, Kevin Curry, Dan Walker, Allie Corey, Scott Hawley, Jillian Rabe, Carrie Hamm, Todd Robinson, Devon Lyon, Nadia Kingston, David Rodriguez, Jamie Jordan, Norm Sanders, Jason Ptaszek
 
Nice looking bunch. I can't believe I haven't run into ANY of you around town. We should fix that.
 
Amy-

I was telling Devon with several MonsterFest films being done in Portland (I've heard anywhere from 3-6) that we should all get together, rent out the Hollywood and have a showing. Each team could throw in another short or two to round out the bill (e.g. we could show Tarts, Fools & The G-Men and you could show your QuestFest one, too).

Get all our friend and family to buy tix to offset the cost.

What do ya think?
