Kawaii Kon 2010 [ Honolulu, Hawaii] - VAST Video Art Contest

[Knowname]

wow I'da never expected o.0 cool

[Willen]

Primary computer decided to quit on me a couple of weeks ago (not totally unexpected, since it was acting up a bit for a few weeks prior), so I'm using my laptop for now. Work has got me busy lately so I've only recently ordered parts for a new rig. But until they arrive and I can recover and move my old data, I'm at a standstill. Oh, and RightStuf still hasn't sent the final DVDs I need.

February is gonna be more hectic than I expected initially...

hmm, it always seems to be that way, don't it, Willen - my main computer had a minor crash a week ago too and I was in panic mode as well. I hope that everything turns out for you well dude - I'd hate not to see another awesome video entered by you due to a 'technical' error. Let me know how it goes, and I'll keep my fingers crossed...

And to everyone else, a little more than 5 weeks left until the February deadline - keep those entries coming in!

Thanks

One, possibly two coming your way on or verrrry near deadline day.

>.>

The other stuff I have until March, right?

[808-buma]

darn, just lost a judge...

but then on a good note, gained an entrant! and although the deadline is midnight February 28th, it's really the next morning as I won't be checking it at midnight... and I can wake up rather late, too

oh, and yes, for the other thing, as much time as you need, as long as I get it a week before the actual convention, you're good

Hello all
at the tone, this is your 25 day notice that the VAST Video Art Contest Deadline of February 28th, 2010 is fast approaching...

ding

[Knowname]

ouch!! ooh! I made a booboo, my video stay 23fps now making a straight conversion to 29fps won't be too bad on a 5 minute video, but... is that the only alternative other than to redo it all? I mean if I sent in what I get, would you folks just convert it over to 720x480 29fps (keeping the aspect ratio correct or not?)? And do 23fps videos usually turn out ok? or are you actually able to show 23fps video? I'll convert it if you can't show it is all I'm saying but it maybe sound like you can? 1024x576 is ok? or should I letterbox it (if can)?

[808-buma]

Knowname - You can send in your video as you have described and we'll convert and letter-box it for you. The contest is currently designed to run from a DVD player, so there is not 'true' way to display 24fps video other than to do it via the 3:2 pulldown option.

Although we do strive to do the best quality conversion for the contest, the best way to control how your video is displayed is to do the MPEG2 conversion yourself. Either way, we are happy to get your entry.

And to everyone else, this is your 2 week, 2 day until the deadline announcement... I'm still waiting for a lot of your entries!

ding!

[Knowname]

I don't even know what 3:2 is, I guess it counts every 2 frames as 3? Anyway I'm not one to fuss I'll just put the black on and send it to ya then lol. Hopefully I can make a second piece in time for you.
