Because it's six months from now.

Robi-Wan: I'll head to Oslo in a couple of months. What say you we try to team up a bit better this year? wink

But we have the first month of the year now. June is the sixth month of the year; and that month doesn't count anymore, because the entry must be sent in by the 1st of june already. So, isn't it actually five months, from now?

1: january
2: february
3: march
4: april
5: may

... ?

Kaat this is for your bud.

"Contest starts Friday, February 1st 2008 and the deadline for entries is Sunday, June 1st 2008. I threw in an extra month. Your entry must be in my hands before 11:59:59 PM, EST Saturday May 31 2008. That's 8:59:59 PM, PST."

and...

" Jan. (free month) - Plan a.k.a Preproduction/Chroeograph

Feb. (contest begins) - Choreograph and practice

Mar. - Practice some more then film.

Apr. - Practice some more then film/Reshoots or pickup shots

May and June - Post. It's best to have another person to help roto. Hell maybe two other people, it'll get done faster. Look for a perfect place to break up the shots and divide the work. Also, if you and the people you got to help roto are using different versions of AE, roto the footage and send an image sequence (.PNG) to the one person who is going to put it all together. No need to render out huge video files."

Yeah, that was what caused my confusion. Am I understanding this correctly that those people who decide not to add any kind of visual effects to their footage must hand in their finished work before june and sit around for another month, waiting for other people to finish their entry's post production?

If you hand yours in let's say in April, unroto'ed and no effects, it will not go up until several days after the deadline. I'm looking at Friday June 6 so everyone will have the weekend to download and view.

The week of June 9th and on, the judges can take the time to review.

Yes I like planning ahead....way ahead.

So far I have four judges. I need one more. Anyone?

Kaat- I think that was a suggested workflow, not a rule. Just turn it in on time and you'll be fine.

I was planning to do that anyway. Shooting should be finished in the third week of february anyway, so I'll have enough time to do the post I guess. I just didn't realize that I didn't necessarily need to have my post finished when I hand my clip over before the deadline. Good to know though.

Personally I think they look better finished. Some guy added sound effects to my LCC entry from a long time ago, and it made it way better.

Yeah, I agree. I know that it's actually a choreography contest, but it's not choreography alone what made Duel of the Fates a great lightsaber battle. So I guess that a good-looking choreography, plus good visual and sound effects and the right choice of music will certainly give a better feeling than only a good-looking choreography.

So... I should use Duel of the Fates as the backing track for my fight?
