The time has come, another fest deadline is nearly upon us and we are happy to announce the opening of the upload phase for Thrill Fest 2010.

Please be sure to read through the rules again to be sure you haven't missed anything, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Deadline for entries is Thursday, October 21st, 2010 at 4pm Pacific Daylight Time (GMT - 7)

Some quick technical reminders:
  • Films must be submitted in h.264 format, as usual.
  • Movie file not to exceed 60MB
  • Film must include one of the approved DVXFest Leaders
  • Film not to exceed 6 minutes, plus the 9 second leader
  • Be sure to include your poster as one of the upload files.

Follow the link below to begin your upload:




You can download the approved leaders from the following location:

Approved DVX Fest Leaders


In the event you need to re-submit your film follow these steps:
  • Go to the above upload link (http://www.dvxfest.com/upload
  • Fill out all the relevant information on the upload form, using the same values as you did the first time. This will help the system identify the original film and successfully replace it.
  • Notify myself, Jason Ramsey or Zak Forsman via PM and let us know you submitted a revised film so we can confirm it was received and that it successfully replaced the original.
 
if I enter my film as exhibition only, is there a limit on file size? I don't think 60MB for 11 mins will look fantastic
 
I'm in a debate with myself about it. I can probably cut entire scenes, speed up the pace and lose a story strand, but Im feeling loathed to do it as it'll become something different. Just not gonna be any fun being out of competition :-(

Tomorrow I may have a bash at what a 6 min version would look like, but my gut is telling me I wont like it.
 
Just uploaded "The Writer". :) It was tough getting it to 60mb and still maintain some kind of quality. Oh well. :) I'm going to release the longer version later this year.

Why not just enter it anyway? Nothing to loose & after the fest release the full version.
 
So my film is 5 1/2 minutes, and i've tried exporting it numerous different ways and the smallest i've gotten it down to is 61 mb....is that really going to disqualify me? I understand that if you start making exceptions for some people the "floodgates" might open, but i'm feeling very frustrated right now over 1 mb.

I would upload what you have and then work at getting it down to 60mb. As long as they get the finished movie from you they probably won't mind getting the 60mb version late if it takes you too long.

It's an easy fix though, no? Just drop your bitrate a tad.

I'm not a Mod though so best to ask one.
