indyz 1 #2 February 8, 2006 QuoteThe video must be an original work by the person submitting it Could you clarify this? Does the video have to be made especially for this competition, or can I turn in something that I've made previously? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverds 0 #3 February 8, 2006 It can be something you made earlier as long as you created it. We just dont want people using others works. -Dave Skydive Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #4 February 8, 2006 Dave, can we use raw video from other places? E.g. other people's dumps from a jump? Or do we have to have shot the actual video ourselves?cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverds 0 #5 February 8, 2006 As long as you have permission to use the footage that's fine. You might want to consider giving credit to the other photogs as well. -Dave Skydive Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dqpacker 7 #6 February 9, 2006 Is this just skydiving vids or can it be base vids too? And can we send you a MiniDV tape? Thanks DQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverds 0 #7 February 9, 2006 Base videos are fine. If you want to send it on a miniDV tape that's fine too but we will not be sending it back so an .avi file on disk might be better for you. -Dave Skydive Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billo 0 #8 February 10, 2006 another bit of clarification... if we set the video to music, do you care if we steal the tunes from a known artist? i'm not much of one of paying for shit :) you guys just don't want me to have a life or ever to get laid, do you? just keep me in my video dungeon...bitches!

diverds 0 #9 February 10, 2006 The music selection is up to you. It's not like we're selling this or doing anything commercial with it so I don't think it will be an issue. Skydive Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverds 0 #10 February 20, 2006 We have already received some good entries. The bar has been set. A reminder though, please send your entry as a full resolution .avi file. Some of the entries we received were in compressed formats such as .wmv and .mpeg. This is not good because we have to do yet another round of transcoding to make them compatible with the video iPod, so please....full resolution .avi files only.
