Hey was that our own J_Barnes in the Honorable Mentions?
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

I thought they were all pretty amature looking and "cute"(like most short films try to be) EXCEPT J_Barnes' :) & "Bedford Village". I sent mine in and didnt even get a mention and thought it was better than all of them. But it aint my contest :)

Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

..k, enough puns.. no more words. hows that video coming along.. are you posting it? are we there yet?
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

barant, that was good stuff. i want to see more! Some good acting... even the extras in the BG. Things worked well. keep it up
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

I don't know how this was judged, but for best looking video (not to mention best short subject overall) I'd have to go with Play Date.

But, whatever - these things are subjective.

Hmm...I wish they would have told me they were going to post it online. I would have corrected it for monitor gamma.

At least that horrid shoot day turned into something mentionable.
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

In this set of productions stills, http://www.seriousmagic.com/bestshotimages.cfm?id=2, you can see, especially in the first still, the difference in color between what I'm assuming is a digital still camera and the DVX as seen on the DVRack screen. Can someone point me to a thread that would explain this. The still, although needing more light, seems to me to be a more aesthetically pleasing image.

Thanks
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

Looks like the digital camera was set to daylight and not corrected. Thus the orange cast, while the DVX is set to tungsten (or some white balanced variation) and thus appears white.
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

Woo-hoo! Found out recently that I had the "grand-prize" winning entry, and just saw the results posted on Serious Magic's website! Am ecstatic that I won! ;D

When I spoke with Serious Magic today, I mentioned that I had found out about their contest from DVXuser.com - many thanks to this site (and to you who post here) for your technical and creative expertise!

Barant - I'm definitely surprised that your "Cheat" film wasn't mentioned - I thought the acting and dialogue in it were fantastic, and the lighting/coloring looked great!
 
Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

Congrats to all! I'm d/l'ing Barant's movie right now.

Now can we please have a Mac version? Please?

Barant,

Thanks for entering the contest. "Cheat" was well rated by the judges (it was in the final selection group). Most felt that it was an intriguing idea and had excellent acting but "Content" (concept/acting/script) only counted for 1/6th of the score. Any such "judging" is always highly subjective since video is art.

Re: Winners of DV Rack Contest all shot DVX100!

I agree, the concept and acting was great, but it was all shot in one location, and there were only about three changes in camera angle, not exactly enough to judge from, but nonetheless, good job.
