5 films uploaded so far.

Missing the name of the producer of the film "Repetition doesn't always work" (only named "Repeat please" in the vimeo title.)

Cool! And remember we don't have a minimum length requirement, only the maximum 4 minutes.
One of my previous uwol films was made in a couple hours from the idea came by, until I had uploaded. You can do it, Gordon! :)

I think its time to call it a day and go with what I've got. Its been tuff. Got 3 hours left to get it rendered and encoded and then uploaded.

Well it's there good or bad.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

The films will be published within the next 4-9 hours.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

uploading mine now - it was such a rush/poor job that I wasn't going to but I decided to do it more for me than anything - rather than find an excuse not to.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

Glad you are uploading! Even rushed films can be great.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

Cool Paul. Glad you made it. I think everyone has found it hard work. Which is good. We learn the most when we have to push harder to make it work. I know I have.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

That's the main goal of uwol, to push yourself and your limits.

Notice that next challenge will be 2 months with a possibility to upload a temporary / work in progress film about halfway in, including a week with feedback.
Details will be provided in the signup thread, which will be made in the middle of February.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

I had a grander plan... don't I always. I was even filming the Moon every couple of nights for a bit over a week to get some semblance of the lunar cycle, full Moon through fingernail (initially with 70-200mm + 2x extender, then 150-500mm + 2x extender - a recent 2nd hand acquisition). But then I knew I wasn't going to get half the other shots I needed for that idea based around natural cycles - really needed some good timelapses for that.
So it was 2 days of scrambling to film plan B, wasting time trying to get my hyperlapse to work, which I still couldn't stabilise properly, and then editing and recording VO (unpolished but no time for more than a couple of takes), and putting it all together. So it was rushed, but I feel better having something submitted, even if it's not finessed. And boy has it been windy lately - hardly a steady tripod shot in the whole thing. Temperature wise it's been fine - not freezing or boiling, but blowing a gale. And I hate every jitter of it, but it was either get over it, or give up. Good to see some others finish and submit as well.

Re: UWOL 41 - Tales of wonders and woes
 

Sounds like a big challenge for both you and many others this round.
Good to hear you overcome it and submitted your film.

Films will be published within 2 hours. Sorry for being a little late.
