Check it;

I recently entered a film making contest here in Anchorage and WON !!

All entries will be submitted to the next Anchorage Film Festival, so cross you fingers for me to actually win some local fame (whatever that means =).

Below are the details.

Here were the boundries we had to make our movie within:
The theme this time is "LoveMovies" so all you moviemakers, "love us or
leave us" in less than 15 minutes (time limit each flick).
And.. here are the results of Throwdown 11!

01 Dan Holly "Picking Alaskan Roses"
02 Rhett Robinson "Love is"
03 Ed Mighell "Ruby Heart"
04 Justin Freeman "Back in the Sack"
05 Thomas Higgins "The Lies are Falling"
06 Ian Milliman "The Lesson"
07 Rabbit Creek Studios BESMIRCHED
08 Laura Bliss Spaan BESMIRCHED

Congrats Dan!

Will it be online for us to watch?

yea
 

I'm in the process of moving, and I have a business trip to Fairbanks Friday to Monday ( I leave in the morning)....so it will be slow coming.....more like next week sometime.

Any suggestions on how to keep my cross fades from looking like crap on the web?

In this short, I could easily be called the "cross fade king". <;~)

also
 

Does anyone have the capasity to host a 40 meg file for download ?

40 megs?
 

Go to www.50megs.com

Congratulations on winning.

Don't go to 50megs.com, the bandwidth will run out in a second with a file that size.

I can host it for you, I have unmetered bandwidth.

If it blocks the remote link, go to www.rollingedits.com/edit_uploads/ and hit crtl+f and type in PAR-1.wmv and then click it or download it.. it will work from there.

Right Click and Save As

*edit
Couldn't get any link to work but got this message:

"We are currently in the process of moving to a faster, more reliable server, and to do so we have to transfer all of the data from this server to the new one. This requires a lot of resources, bandwidth in particular.

So sometime today or tonight (Wednesday March 3rd) we will be suspending edit uploading and downloading. It will at most be 2-3 days when it will be restored. We're sorry for the inconvenience but we are in dire need of all the bandwidth we can get to make the move go smoothly.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!"

So it should be back up in a day or two.

Cheers,
Brian

It's back up and ready to view.
 

Input appreciated.

Dan,

Is there suppose to be audio with the video because I'm not getting any.

The footage sure made me homesick for good ol' Anchorage! But I should be moving back in a month or so and I'll be able to catch the last of the snow.

Cheers,
Brian

I started watching it, and got no audio.
Then I realized the audio on my computer wasn't working. So I fixed it, and wen't back and started watching your movie again, but still no audio. Glad it wasn't just me!

What's up with the audio? I'll wait to watch the whole thing once I find out.

no audio here either

should have mentioned it
 

It is a silent film.

We had to re-shoot mostly everything because my sound gear froze up @ ~10 degrees.

So, this was an excercise in story telling with no sound.

Dan
While it is really nice to watch, it's is BEGGING for a musical score!!!

Listen, you can hear it...

The proper music would make it great. I think for what you have invested in it already, you should find a musician to do it, or at least look for a good piece of classical music that would suit it (probably with some editing to match it).

Dylan was spot on, the silence is akward, almost an akward silence as it were...

If you do decide to score it or add some classical music and reedit I'd recommend trying to use less dissolves. I just put together a little video basically touring somefriends house (I'll try and get it posted later today) and the first edit I did before getting music from one of the house dwellers. It sucked trying to edit it! And then when he did get me the music and I put it to the video it didn't seem to fit quite right. So I scrapped the edit and quickly went through it again and it went much smoother.

Is there going to be another contest anytime soon up there? I'd love to get involved in the next one if I'm around.

Cheers,
Brian

for Brian
 

Brian,
Look me up in the Anchorage directory and shoot me a call sometime (didn't want to post my # here for those data miners out there =). I'm usually home after 6pm until the weather breaks anyway. During the summer I'm out at my cabin from Friday evening until Sunday.....and or out fishing.
Rgds.,
Dan

the people's revolution with fascist dictums! Lift your cameras in answer
