Sign up begins now for DVC 19, that runs from October 14 through October 24!

For those who have never competed in the DV Challenge, you'll be given a theme on Thursday, Oct. 14. Get out there and shoot your film, have it uploaded on YouTube or Vimeo and a link sent to thedvchallenge@gmail.com by midnight on Oct. 24. You'll get friendly, valuable feedback from other DV info members and get to vote on the winner. It's that simple. For more details have a look at The DV Challenge: * How It Works (http://thedvchallenge.blogspot.com/search/label/*%20How%20It%20Works)

You'll be competing for top prizes from Guy Cochran at DVeStore (http://www.dvestore.com), plus bragging rights to all your friends. And who knows...this could be your start in something big!

Sign up here, then join us on Facebook and Twitter! For FB search for The DV Challenge; for Twitter give your username here and we'll connect. And then spread the word so others can become members of DV Info and get in on the fun!

Yeah, why not? I'll try this one.

Incidentally, is this actually number nineteen? In organizing and refreshing my collection of DVC videos, I noticed something odd, and double checking the forum archives showed me it wasn't just my directory structure. As things played out, the order of the last six contests is

DVC 14
DVC/UWOL 1 (labeled DVC 15)
DVC 16
DVC 17
DVC/UWOL 2 (no DVC number)
DVC 18

and now, of course, number 19. Marking the second collaboration as DVC number seventeen and a half solves the problem from my end, but out of curiosity, is there an official word on what to call that particular competition?

Ha ha! Yes, Robert, we kind of messed that up, didn't we. I like what you called the charity challenge so let's go with that (and 17.5). And we'll try to get it right this December. :)

I'll see if I can get something together by myself. Hopefully Cole can get in on this challenge while in France.

Count me in! :)

I will join you..

I'm in! By the time the DVC's come back I am always CRAVING them so badly!

I'm in also - will be busy the first few days with a short film, but shooting for that should wrap about the 19th

I'll give it a try, but I've got another film to finish until oct.20 and I'm going abroad on 21st, so I'll see what I can do in the moments between.

I will give this a try! I have silently watched these unfold before and wanted to participate only afraid to do so. This time I'm jumpin in!

Good to see all you guys! This is going to be fun. Hope everything works out for those of you with tight schedules.

Just what we love to read, Mitchell!

Way to go, Matt! I was really afraid my first time, but then my friends and I had so much fun we got hooked.

This I'm looking forward to. After two aborted attempts to get on the DVC roster in the past, I reckon this is the one where the stars will align, work assignments will ebb and the Merlot will flow in sufficient abundance to allow me to meet the (DV) challenge. A 10-day project in October? Perfect!

Count me in.

Sign me up!

Okey dokes, I'll probably end up in the shark tank/wall of shame but I'll throw my hat in the ring and give it a go.

Trying to line up a crew...stoked!

Miracles would have to happen for me to make this one. But hoping for one soon...

I need one of these...

...BADLY!

Count me in.

Ahh, I notice I am a "trustee" now. Does that mean I can go outside the fence?

I will participate as well. Out of every challenge that has come up, I have only been on the wall of shame once. I hope not to make this a second. But I do hope to make this my second win :)

Ha ha! Oh yeah? Well, we've got some newcomers, some veterans/past winners and some darn fine filmmakers who are ready to give you a run for your money, Clint. :)

For those who haven't signed up yet--get in the game, challenge these guys and yourselves!

p.s. Dick...we've seen miracles before. Bruce, I'm not sure you should be allowed outside the fence just yet. :)

Count me in!

I'll give it a go. Only to challenge myself as I'm sure to be blown away by the rest.

just got done shooting a feature, next up editing of that, but I'll try to squeeze in some time for the DV challenge. Count me in!

I'll give it a go as well.

Thank you - Vikram D'Mello.

I'm in. I think.

Bummer. I am on the road that entire week. Sigh. Have fun everyone.

I need to get off the damn wall of shame so sign me up!

Count me in, it will be my first!

I need to get off the damn wall of shame so sign me up!Me too, sign me up!

I guess it won't hurt to sign up.

Well, I'm currently roaming europe... but I do have my T2i with me. So hopefully I can crank something out.

So... Yes. I shall say I'm in.

I'll give it a shot.

Lost at one of these contests badly back in '07, but back in the ring to take another swing I go. It's fun!

Should be fun. Really looking foward to it :)

I'm in I need the practice.

I guess I'll give it a try. :) Not sure how I'll do, but... :p

I'm in :) Good Luck everyone!!

I'm getting excited for this thing to start! Several days left to sign up--so if you're sitting on the fence about it, jump off and get in the game now. Though all the DVCs are fun I have a feeling this one is going to be absolutely electrifying! But it's up to you guys--you have to sign up and then you have to deliver. So...come on in! :)

Greetings, all! Good to see everyone here on the boards again! I believe I'm finally gonna be home from the road (after all this time!) by then, and if all goes according to plan, I'd love to join in the festivities.

So sign me up, please!

See??? ELECTRIFYING!! Great to see you, Joseph -- three-time DVC champion!

Oooohhhhh.....we are going to have a blast this round....

I am in as well, assuming there is going to be a real, actual theme this time.

this one is going to be absolutely electrifying! :)

Hmm, looking for clues here, the challenge will be 'Electrifying', and will be judged right before Halloween...
Linking by free association:
Halloween, electrifying, Frankenstein's Monster, shocking, it's alive it's alive!

Aw, I'll just have to wait till Thursday...

I'd love to give this a shot, count me in!

Rather than try to spell the standard reply I'll post a link to it. If you want to see/hear mine you have to watch at least until 1:34. ;)

Please include me - thx.
