Ok, addicts, UWOL X is here at last....

UWOL X is ready. Are you ready?

Are you quite certain?

Due to the nature of the theme this round, we are giving you a little extra time to post your projects. You will need it. This is one of those themes designed to push you in some new directions. And I know how you all loooooove to be pushed! Let the bellyaching begin!

Sign up here then -

If this is your first time playing, you must send me an e-mail with a current e-mail address to uwol@comcast.net - if you have played before and changed your e-mail address, please send one as well. I need your current e-mail in order to send you uploading instructions...

Sign up deadline: July 31

Theme Announcement: August 1

Deadline: August 30, midnight anywhere in the world

Read the rules at the sticky at the top of the sub-forum or at www.uwolchallenge.com

Also remember that your designated sign-up number on this thread converts to your unique number that you use when you name your film file - see rule #7 on the UWOL website for details...

One other note on this round: I've received some complaints from players about the premature posting of feedback threads with links to films. Please don't post your feedback thread or link to your film until the films are linked to the uwolchallenge.com website, and everyone can play along equally. If you post prematurely, I'll remove it, e-mail you a copy of it, and ask you to re-post it at the proper time. If, for some reason (you'll be out of town, for instance), you need to post your feedback thread in advance, then shoot me an e-mail, and I'll permit it to stay in the sub-forum, but I'll lock it down until films are linked and re-open the thread at the proper time. No starting the race until the gun goes off...thanks for understanding.

Good luck everybody!

Ohhh...oh....I'm in...YES!

Number 2....guess I'll try harder...

Bob

I'm trying for fourth time lucky - but I've learnt a lot in the previous contests, even though I haven't actually managed to submit anything (and do I hear my diary laughing at the idea of finding time to complete it this time round too?)

Count me in again please. I'm looking forward to it!

Andrew

This is my birthday month,I have a new toy to play with..I am ready willing and able...Please sign me up.

Count me in please.
I will start my holiday 2.August.
For the first time I'll be crossing the Arctic Circle.
Hope to catch something within the theme on my way North.

Good luck everyone :)

Well guess what......I'm in too!!!

Oliver

I'm ready for the X Files too. Bring it on!

I too have a new toy, a three-legged one at that. Let's just hope Meryem isn't too evil with the theme!

count me in

Think I might be hard pushed to get one in this round, but I'll try my best!

Okay, so for this contest, I will be visiting my mom in upstate NY, staying at an inn until the rental house is ready in NC, then moving in and unpacking boxes - so that should leave me plenty of time for the contest :) I am in if I get my computer set up in time, and look forward to the double challenge in this UWOL round.

As Kon said "He tasks me", therefore I must accept this challenge. I don't want to face his wrath, but the theme may be harder.

Hi

I'm in too.

Gilles

Visiting magical New Zealand over August.
Hey Meryem, what do you think of "Landscapes" as a theme:)

I'm in. Time to finally give this a try. Yay!

Why do I do this to myself...I hate this contest but I'm an addict. Sign me up again.

Brian

PS:

Geir once you cross over the circle you join the ranks of the "Royal Society of the Arctic Circle" now if you cross over stand on your head and drink a beer you can join the "Upside Down Club" way more fun than the Royal Society LOL

B

My first, I hope!

sign me up.

OK, count me in. I'll try to stay out of the shark tank this time.

One whole month to get it done? That sounded great until I realized it would be one whole month before I got to see the other videos.

Count me in!

IN!

So far in you couldnt winkle me out with a big pin.

B

Hey Brian... does "crossing over" mean "going all the way across" the Arctic Circle or just "going across the boundary" into the Circle? In '97 I was in the Arctic Circle for 6 weeks and we never heard of either the Royal Society or the Upside Down Club.... too bad! The UDC sounds rather athletic but freezing on an ice block in the dark all that time it would have been interesting to at least give it a try!

Oh yeah, I'm in too. This one is making me nervous!

Cat

It's like video school without paying tuition. Gotta love it. In again.

Well i've just dried myself off after getting out of the shark tank, so please count me in. Couldn't stand missing another challenge. This time it will be from Rossland Canada!
Bryce

I'm in.

Nice to have you back Bryce. Hope your move went well.

Hope your move went well and things are starting to settle down a bit.
Freezing here in Bendigo!

what - already? I'm still working on version 2 of the last one

yes - alright, I'm in

Good Morning everyone,

I am ready to go for it, put me on the players list, first or second string will do.

Meryem, I have been anxiously waiting for #10, now I am more intriqued!!

What could she have cooked up this time, and a whole month to work on it too!!!

Aaaaaagh! Let me see if I can do this. I'm in.

Enjoyed the last one, gotta do it again. Count me in!

(PS Thanks Andrew!!)

I'm throwing my hat into the UWOL ring again.

From never having picked up a video camera to UWOL entrant in only 8 months... (well they do say the only way to learn is to do)

Please count me in.
Jim.

Ok I'll bite.

Jeff

Count me in. I'm most curious about this challenging theme.

OK, I call, count me in. Bob

Sign me up for number 10 please

Hi people

Only dropped by quickly to throw my 'im in' into the ring. I'm all over the place at the moment and out of the country diving for a week from tomorrow but I'll certainly give it a go never the less.

I found the UWOL challenge site only a month or two ago and was excited to see something like this existed.

I'd like to participate in UWOL challenge #10. Woot!

First time

Be gentle
