Sorry for pulling the link, but this is incredibly frustrating. We're still sorting through entries and the game shouldn't start until we have a chance to do this. Not fair to all the players...you can re-post once these are linked to the UWOL website...

Good heavens Meryem!

That quote you just posted was for last round and posted on October 13th! And the context for that quote was concerning the surprise I had that the Vimeo video embedded in the DV Info thread instead of simply posting a link to the Vimeo site!

My thread for this round was posted about an hour ago and it did not have a link to a video. All it said was thank you and the best to everyone!

I'm a little surprised, you had to go way back to find that quote. I simply don't understand.

I've had a moment to think about my quote Meryem posted in post #81 and, just for the record, I'd like to clear up more formally what the context of the quote was.

In the final works in progress round, we were posting our video links and I was surprised to see that the video embedded in the DV Info thread. If you look at my posts around October 13, when I was first putting up my thread, I was concerned that this was not appropriate that DV Info carry the load instead of simply a link and so I removed the link. I then fired off a post on Chris's entry and after commenting on his film, asked him about this and what we should do. He answered by saying it was the fist he's seen this and thought if that was how it was working now, then it should be O.K. to post this way.

By that time, others were posting their embedded videos and not worrying about it. This is when I followed suit with my post, saying that if Dale could post this way and not worry about it, then I would also.

I hope this clears up the context of the quote and hopefully any misunderstandings about it.

Post #80 applies to this final round, where no links to movies are given and is simply a well wish for all of our entries and a thank you to Meryem for hosting the challenge.

Meyrem, I'm sorry you've taken this wrong and it added to your frustration in hosting this forum.

Sincerely,

Cat

sorry, Cat - I just pulled all the links that from long form final that appeared as new in the forum...if I'm going to do this and don't do it fast, then everyone jumps on board first thing in the morning and thinks that, if the other guy is doing it, then it is fine. i shouldn't do these things before coffee, but that is the time that I have...

sorry if my trigger finger was a little sloppy on this one...

Hi All:

The resolution isn't great on Vimeo, but here it is anyway. Best to all, Cat.

Catherine, well done!!

What a spectacular landscape you have in your back yard.
Must be fun and a great experience hiking in those mountains.

The book theme works very well for your film, and I enjoyed watching it.
And the graphics... I need to learn more about After Effects for sure.

Thank you for sharing your part of the world. :)

Opsie, I forgot there was the one big common feedback thread.
(but anyway, your film is great!)

you should slice this puppy down to 22 minutes and see if you can get it on channel 5...i bet they would take it...

Cat...

Speechless. Superlatives become trite. What a wonderful piece. Your voiceover, which you struggled with was now spot on. Your musical timing exquisite. The graphics...VERY professional.

Best of the best. I concur that if this met a time frame a station could use, it is easily broadcast quality.

WOW.

Cat,

I started with the uwol version, went back and found your vimeo link, well worth the wait!!!

I have to agree with everyone else here. Cut it down and get it broadcasted.

It is totally awesome.

At the end of it is well, with the chip monk standing staring into space I thought was perfect!!! A fitting end in its own right.
