Nicely done friends, UWOL 19 Begins Now...

[Catherine Russell]

Hey you guys:

The deadline to submit your entries for UWOL 19 has come, and I have just a few words for all of you:

For those of you who have uploaded your film by the deadline, well done I commend you all. You advance to the judging round and your films will be critically reviewed by me and our esteemed judge for this round, Kenneth Wajda. Even though three films will be selected in the winners circle, you are all winners. I'm impressed.

If there is anyone out there who is just now in a final render or in the process of uploading a film as I write this, there is grace for you friend. I will accept your work and it will join the others as a film to be judged in this contest. I know how those last minute frets can turn an hours work into a day. Just hurry up and get it in, NOW!

For those of you who still have something in the works and need another day or so to finish it off, Matt I'm speaking with you in mind!, you are welcome to put up a feedback thread on this forum and have your film reviewed by the players and the UWOL community. It will not be judged for the contest, but don't let that stop you! I personally feel the feedback from those who frequent this forum is invaluable and I have personally improved with every film I've thrown out here for critical review. In fact, if I can swing it, I just might join you in this and throw up a revised version of a segment that has already been commented on earlier. I think you will find it is one of the best things you will do to improve your film making. So don't be shy! I hope to join you towards the end of the week!

And finally, for those of you who signed up but life's circumstances just didn't allow you to submit this round, there is grace for you too friend! Now is the time to enjoy everyone's contribution, join in on their feedback threads, revel in the talent of your friends on this forum and gear up for next time! April is just around the corner!

Get your feedback threads up, but don't link to your higher res versions hosted on another site until Kevin and Matt have the films up for judging.

Have fun everyone! I'm thrilled to see what you have done with this theme. I'm ready to be simply floored :)
