Announcing - NEW for COL 2008...

Ooooooo - first ones eh?
Who who who?

Mine's done - can't find a good compressor in Sony Vegas. Can make it either 9gb (!) or 32mb with poor quality...

George - can I send you a DivX avi? or is it just going to be easier to burn it onto a DVD?

Cool - i'll try and whiz something to you this evening...

no COL entry from me guys, simply no time in my life now to offer anything new or different. looking forward to seeing what inspiring stuff is out there!

Bender's on the last one I believe and er... 2005? Maybe....

As a general viewing guide, i'd personally skip the first 3, no offence to any performers on them, but standards of both spinning and videos really jumped from 2005 onwards (note there's CoL5 and CoL 2005).

George - I haven't forgotten, will upload it tonight and PM you a link.

bender was on Col 5, 2006 (i think under 'shakuru'?) and 2007

hi george,

i really hope you can help me. i'm hoping to enter col2008. my entry is pretty much ready only i'm having a MAJOR problem in relation to converting my file to dvd format. currently it is a .mov quicktime file. when i try to convert it to .vob for dvd it loses so much resolution and quality.

i hope it is possible to send you the entry as the .mov format on cd-rom and hopefully you can convert it at your end to the specifications which you require.

looking forward to hearing back from you on this,

jean

after going back to the drawing board... all seems to working out ok......

have footage! now dashing to edit!

what's the deal with crediting the people who edited your video for you?

i always thought the person that did the editing was the producer

is this not the case?

director tells people what to do, producer does all the organising of stuff, editor does the cutting of the footage to a tune.

i have done a rough cut. woot! might actually finish by my self imposed deadline of friday morning....

i also have a (very) rough cut. Didnt get everything i wanted last time i filmed though so gonna have to go out again when it stops raining might be a repeat of last year and posting on the last possible day.

can videos be submitted on mini-dv?

thats the highest quality i can do, i think....

will .VOB files be accepted?

mini DV is fine
.VOB - hmmm maybe??? - that's the native DVD file format isn't it Guy?

basically, almost anything you can cut to a DVD will probably be fine. One of the main things to worry about though is resolution - if the resolution is low it will be pixelated when viewed later. Think of people watching it on a large screen TV screen rather than on a 14" monitor...

rough cut's done finally...and now back to tweaking

*evil editing cackle*

and how risque are we allowed to get?

Ya!

Finished my entry today, mailing out tomorrow, early!

Where's everyone else at in their submissions?
