Re: UWOL 42 -Tales of wonders and woes
 

So far only a few uploaded.
Seems like lack of time, incooperative weather, difficult theme... are major factors this round too, even with the time extension.

If you have a tiny little hope that you might be able to submit a film, then hurry up and request the upload details, if you haven't done it yet.

I have to admit, Trond, that I had some difficulty with the theme. The obvious interpretation - for me, at least - would have been to do some type of juxtaposition between night and day views of some theme, but my equipment just doesn't really allow me to do anything well at night. I asked friends for ideas and they didn't come with anything that I thought interesting and/or doable.

I wanted to do a comparison of where I live (along the coast and near heavy industry) with the remoteness of the west Texas desert areas, but didn't find my footage compelling enough and thought my ideas where not very good interpretations of the theme.

I do like the 2 month period to put something together -- more time to plan as well as seek out opportunities to shoot in unique places. I hope the next one starting in June is the same because I will be in South America for much of June and won't have much time to edit footage when I return if it's only a month challenge!

Theme suggestion (if it hasn't already been used): Diversity. I'm not very creative compared to most, but I can imagine a lot of possible interpretations.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your comments. There will be more 2-month challenges in the future. (See the other thread about evaluation of the uwol 42).
The plan was to run the June challenge as a regular 1 month challenge. But if a 2-month is preferred, I might do that. Haven't made up my mind yet.

The themes (in general) never has to be interpreted "letter by letter". Your imagination is usually the limit. As an example see uwol 42. 2 entries where night/ darkness and day, like you thought about. Another entry with colors vs black&white.

Your theme suggestion is put on my list. Thank you!

Not wishing to put pressure on you Trond, but two months for a June challenge would suit me fine.

Re: UWOL 42 -Tales of wonders and woes
 

Another two month round would work for me too!

Re: UWOL 42 -Tales of wonders and woes
 

My issue was leaving it too late and running out of time. Between performing in the Melbourne Comedy Festival (there was no shortage of performers) and doing promo videos for that, along with helping film documentary footage at the briquette factory I ended up somewhat shorter of time than I thought.

Then we had an inaugural 48 hour film festival locally on the last weekend in April, so that took precedence - I filmed and edited... rushed is an understatement, but fun to do. Took a week to recover. Our final film was about 6 minutes long ignoring credits.

I was going to try and do a behind the scenes for my UWOL entry, called 'Night and Day and Night and Day' as it was 7pm on the Friday to about 6pm on the Sunday to do everything, but I already had enough to focus on. I should have just SnapChatted each location and editing, then strung them all together into a 'film'.

Hi everyone,
I'm sitting in my bed recovering from an Op; and just realised I can't review the UWOL 42 submissions I get a blank square saying plugin not supported. YouTube clips work fine on the site and my Vimeo app works fine on my android tab. It just Vimeo links inside the DVinfo website I can't view. Any ideas? I'm not a web guru.

Re: UWOL 42 -Tales of wonders and woes
 

That happens when I'm using my phone to watch the videos. Try click on the title line of the film. Should take you to the vimeo page. This should work.

Just wondering if anyone used a DOF adaptor (Like the Letus Extreme). Would like to get some depth to the image on my AX53. Sent loads of emails out to companies and got no responce. Is the tech dead now. Hoping some of the UWOL guys and girl may have used them in the past.
