Time is flying! I still haven't got round to filming anything for the DVC challenge (but I mean to do something this week), and already the UWOL challenge is starting!

OK, sign me up.

Linking to this sign-up thread on UWOL Facebook I realized we only have TEN people aboard! If you spend any time on FB at all, like our page. Then when stuff like this sign-up is announced you can spread the word...and get your friends to spread the word. It's a great way to get new DV Info members and fresh faces in the challenge. And you all know how fun that is! So how 'bout it?!? :)

I'm back!
Sign me up. It's been awhile and I need to work with my new camera...

(Although, judging by the videos from UWOL #23, I am seriously outclassed)

Good to see you again, Bob! And no, you are not outclassed--no one is.

Chris Hurd said it years ago and it should never be forgotten: Content Is King! Sure, we try for excellence in technical achievement; that's part of the learning process. But a great story with compelling imagery wins regardless of how the video places in the contest. UWOL Challenge is all about getting into nature and enjoying the creative process while learning more about the craft. And then we have the fun of chatting about/critiquing our work with new and old friends right here! It doesn't get much better than that!

Well, I'm a first timer, and a relatively newbie, but sign me up!
I am also probably outclassed judging by previous winners, but, in for a penny......!

Well, well. If my old friend Per is in, than count me in also. Besides, it will give me a chance to really play with my new Canon XF300. Bob

I just found out there was a new competition running!

In the future i wish for an email list that tells you when a new competition is on!

But for now. Im in! Sign me up.

Lets see if i can find some time to do something this week! Or i might be in the shark-tank. But hey, better to try and fail than not doing anything!

Lorinda,

There used to be a deadline for sign up.
We are just finishing rebuilding our house (been on it for a year 4 to 8 hours a day) and while I am really late I was wondering about participating. Definitely need a change of obsessive mind set.

There is a deadline for signing up, Dale, but we left it open this round. Join the fun! There is still time.

Welcome back, Vegard! So glad you could join in this round! There won't be any email notifications going out--Trond has to remind me of enough as it is. :) I would suggest that everyone write on calendars or somewhere that UWOL challenges run every March, June, September and in the DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge every December/January. I would follow my own advice if I could get in the habit of looking at calendars.

Lorinda,

I am blessed, I will put something in for certain. I even have a close friend down this weekend and he can give me a hand on some of it!!

I look forward to it all!!!

Yeah! Do it, Toni! A 36-hour challenge!! :D

Down to the nitty & gritty. I have all my footage on the time line, wrote a script this morning, just need to arrange the audio and background music, render and upload. Easy right?.....
Is the deadline at 11:59 'Mountain Time' on Oct. 2?
If that's the case I have about 5 hours.....

Lorinda Norton
October 2nd, 2012, 09:33 PM
Bill, I think 11:59 p.m. "Hawaii Time" oughta do it. :)
