The DV Challenge (our semi-regular contest) | Forum profile

Was DVC 13 unlucky? Not at all! We ended up with eight great films to watch and judge...now it’s time to announce the winner. But first, a little gratitude: Much appreciation goes to Guy Cochran for continuing to offer the generous prize of a $250 shopping spree at www.dvestore.com . If you haven’t done it yet, check out the store. As always, thank you, Chris Hurd, for giving us ...

On to the judging!

Nine finalists? That's not a very deep depth of field... I must say, I choose to sit one out and only nine of you bring the game. The WALL OF SHAME OVERFLOWETH. Makes me wish I had taken my 20 year old Hi8 camera out and trounced the lot of you. Was planning to wait for my Scarlett camera before doing another DVC, but I'm rethinking that. Maybe my trusty Hi8, a old Tamron 35mm-...

We may be a small group this time around, but let me tell you—there’s an abundance of good entertainment right here over the next three days. You guys are all winners in Dylan’s and my eyes.

Everyone seems to be busy making films... this is either a good sign or a bad sign, as the challenge gets close to the close. :) Me? I'm going to wait until the absolute last minute before picking up a camera. Nothing like pressure!

As Dylan races across the USA toward home he fires off a text message to his trusty sidekick: Will you post the sign-up thread for me? :) Start date: FRIDAY, JUNE 13 Movies must be submitted by midnight Vancouver, BC time on.... Sunday, JUNE 29 . That’s right, folks—you get an extra week! Guy Cochran at DVestore.com is once again donating a prize to the winner: a $250 www....

I’ve kicked out two ideas so far, as in kicked them out of the running. One, though I really like it, would take more work and favors than what I want to do, and the other one had no ending. How are the rest of you coming along? Also, it’s June 15 here, so to all you good dads out there (US or otherwise), “Happy Father’s Day!” :)
