4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

It's time once again for the UWOL and DVC shooters to get together for fun and charity! This year we are running it quite a bit earlier than in the past. Y'all will be done in time to get your Christmas shopping done! Another nice aspect will be that the charity of the winner's choosing will be notified in time for a great gift at Christmas.

Sign up now for a start date of November 10 (you'll be given the theme at that time) with a submission date of December 10. That's an entire month to shoot and polish your 5-minute masterpiece!

With the exception of the extended 5 minute limit, rules for both DVC and UWOL apply and are pretty similar. UWOLers may post to their personal YouTube or Vimeo pages as well as to the UWOL Vimeo page. Details on upload info later.

Our great sponsor, Guy Cochran of DVeStore, is working up a prize for the winner! So you get to give and possibly receive even more than the joy of giving! :)

Throughout the sign-up period and duration of the challenge we will give opportunities for you to donate, with the money going to the winner's favorite charity, as mentioned earlier. Details on how to donate coming soon, but know this: You don't have to donate to sign up, nor do you have to sign up to donate. We've had some generous benefactors help give nice donations to some great charities over the years. Warms the heart, I tell ya...

For now, let's get this going. Sign up and join the fun!!!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

It's time for me to get off the Wall of Shame, even if I can only manage a video about Legos shot on my phone (which is more or less what my talent pool and equipment consist of right now). I'm in!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Can't beat a bit of familial competition ;) I'm in!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

At least half the fun of these contests is reading all of you guys' comments. :) Hoping you get that new camera, Kevin!

Ha ha! Can't wait to see what you do with so little in your arsenal this time, Daniel. Nice to see you back, Soldier...we've missed you.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Count me in, been a while since I've completed anything video-wise.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

We need a couple more uwol'ers in here too.
Count me in! :)

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I'm very busy with a new film project, but I'm in!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

IN! Benji and I are in the same country this time, so we'll be able to collaborate again.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I'm in :D .....................................

Here's the info on donating. Remember, it's not a have-to, so if you don't have it, don't worry about it. But if you've got some to spare you'll feel great helping out some great charity out there! Also, anyone who donates, whether or not they complete a film, is a JUDGE. :)

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Damn y'all. I thought my video days were behind me, now that I've moved to an interesting new environment that severely curtails the use of any and all photographic and video equipment. And I've put most of my gear into storage as a result.

But maybe some sort of inspiration will strike that will still let me come up with something with the minimal gear and conditions I have available.

So I'll put my name down too. Fingers crossed.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I need to have some fun. Please, count me in.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I hope to give this a try. I've got a great charity in mind, just need to find the time to make a film.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Add one entry in my name

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Sounds like fun. I'm down too.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

The schedule says no, but my heart says yes - so I'm in for a game :)

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Hey, is it bad when you blow a dust-storm off of all your camera cases?

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

sign me up!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Good evening,

We have been in a tail spin sence June, house still in chaos with renovations. at least 2 months more to go!!!

But I have managed to participate in them all to date, so I will have to make an effort to get one in on this!!!! Besides I have two cameras setting here bored to death!!!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I'm signing up Shaun Roemich.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Ha ha! Well then, if that's the way it's played I'm signing up Pete Bauer.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I'm signing up Chris Hurd (maybe Canon will loan him one of those new hollywood cameras so we can see how it shoots)....


Lorinda, just a quick question about what is allowed for this contest - I take it we can do a UWOL style documentary, or even a fiction/dramatic short? How about a non wildlife related documentary? I just want to be clear what the scope is for the combined DVC/UWOL challenge? I'm going to be traveling during the second half of the month so I need to lock down an idea as soon as the theme is announced to be in with a shot!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Fine. Then I'm signing up Dylan Couper. Twice. No, thrice. Same goes for Lorinda Norton...who, oddly enough, has not already explicitly signed up...so quadruple on her!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Simon, you can of course shoot UWOL style, or DVC style video. Or combine the two if you want.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Count me in

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Either or a combination of the above is fine, Simon!

Ha ha ha...Pete, you are so good at dishing it right back, and not just in double or triple portions, but quadruple! Hope you'll seriously think about coming on in. I cracked up at your film from the last DVC/UWOL Challenge and would love to see what masterpiece would spring from your brain again this year. :)

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

I'd like to try out my new Cinema EOS C300 for this challenge.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Count me in, please!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Been too long... count me in.

PS. been away from this for a while.. can someone point me to the rules regs etc.. Thx.

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Welcome back, Dave. I had to search for the link to the DVC rules so now it's posted and stuck at the top of the forum. Thanks--it needed to be done a long time ago. :)

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Maybe a little notice about the time limit?
Normal it is 3 minutes, and for the charity challenge it is extended to 5 minutes.
You'll find the 5 min rule only in this start up tread I think :)

Re: 4th Annual DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge Sign up!
 

Thanks guys.
