Oh you might wanne rename my movies to "U-979" movie 1 ad 2, I just named them that way so you can see that these are the right videos^^.

only six videos on youtube
 

only show six videos,
audio for Dolphin disabled

enigma: shows
riding the waves: not listed
Dophin: shows, silent, cannot be downloaded
Fate: shows
SH4 night attack: shows
Movie 1: not listed
Movie 2: not listed
SH3_Bck: not listed

mine are not uploaded yet, since I forgot to mention the slogan in the credits, so I had to edit and reupload them, thatswhy he couldnt upload them to youtube yet.

oh and the rest are all listed just with different names, only thing that isnt working is surfin bird for the dolphin movie

Chisum and 2ndBestKiller's movies are still being uploaded. Patience people.

I know the sound doesn't work on Dolphin, however that's YouTubes doing. I've got the original with sound which is what I'm judging on.

Once all the videos are up I'll add a poll for the peoples choice and voting will be open for a week from then.

@Jimbuna LOL

roger
 

got you...

will wait a bit longer...

this is better than the oscars... will try to learn videos for next year festival.

I WANT one of those hats

It's ok TarJak, I cut the cat story and it's now 6'20" long.
Just upload it and I give you the link right after, hopping it will be not to late.

I saw the other works and I have no chance to win something due the poor material I use...
But perhaps a nomination to the best historial scenario who knows ?

You make me a star man !

:rotfl:

Ok, there is the link to my movie reworked:

http://files.filefront.com/Meeting+w.../fileinfo.html

I need also say a little explain about the movie, explain who seems necessary because I had a feedback from french people who ask me why I have shifted black & white for color and after back again in B/W.
I get an answer but its to precise and I can't traduce exactly...
If someone is enough strong to translate I will be happy and I thanks him a lot.

"Au début du film, le texte annonce qu’on va rentrer dans l’Histoire.
C’est très émouvant de rentrer dans l’Histoire et en plus à un tel évènement ça fait un peu peur.
Les premières images sont en noir et blanc, les navires sont loin et on avance prudement car nous sommes encore à notre époque, très intimidés.

Puis on tourne autour du géant comme si on avait peur de le déranger, on se risque à approcher un peu, mais on sent bien qu’on n’est pas encore rentré dans l’Histoire, la communion ne se fait pas de suite.

Et puis lentement, en même temps que la musique s’intensifie, on perce enfin le miroir qui nous séparait de l’époque, on déchire le rideau du temps et on entre dans ce monde d’hier en même temps qu’il se colorise.
Simultanément, la son ambiant se fait entendre, le vent siffle nous prouvant qu’on est bien sur place, les machines tournent bruyament et le panneau de contrôlle peut alors apparaître et montrer en bas à droite la date du moment: 21 mai 1941.
Nous sommes dans l’Histoire.

Mais ces moments sont autant privilégiés que brefs et très vite le son disparaît, l’image redevient celle du passé et finit par disparaître à son tour.
Et il ne reste plus que nos souvenirs pour achever le récit."

And I finish with a very big thanks to TarJak to this contest.

:up:

Regards.

Ok, I saw that my movie is uploaded, thanks TarJak.


;)

NP Chisum.

Now that all the entries are in we can get the show on the road.

Judging will be taking place over the next week and each movie will be judged on its merits in terms of the criteria in the first post of this thread. What I'm looking for is a good solid story being told concisely and with atmosphere. Unfortunately the comedy aspect looks limited as most of the pieces entered are fairly serious. But that just makes the best drama category more exciting.

Voting in the peoples choice category is now open. The poll will close on 10 March. Cast you vote and see who is leading the race.

To all contestants good luck and may the best films win. Prizes will be announced with the winners of each category.

I want to say Good Luck to all.

It's very fun to participate.

Movie #1 and #2 look to be excellent but they are to dark to see. Might just be my computer.

Anyway, my choice was Mr Flecks. I have seen his work before and it is all imaginative. The real clincher for me was bringing in the British sub. Unexpected and very cool idea. :up:

Indeed that was a pleasant suprise. Good thinking on Mr. Flecks part :D

Well the problem with the darkness is the compression. I have the uncompressed verion on my PC and it looks fine. But compressed all the detail get lost, however if ypu are in a darkrom you should still be able to see the important sections.

Thats a knightly gesture. :DL

I'll keep my fingers crossed for all the submittants! For me the most important thing in this contest is to motivate people to make their own U-Boat movies and movies about naval warfare. There are too less movies covering this topic and there should be more!

Cheers!
Mr. Fleck

Thanx for the kudos AVGWarhawk and Eberhardt!

On my left shoulder there sat a tiny dragon and kept saying "I need more drama, baby!" ... therefore the twist :arrgh!:

Cheers!
Mr. Fleck

Thats really a pity, since the lighted scenes have very nice colors. I guess you put quite some effort in post processing. Including the cool scene in the beginning with the water droplets and the camera shaking: Cinematographic! :up: (is this an English word?)

Cheers!
Mr. Fleck

Note that in my case, the movie was not made to this occasion and it's a real hazard if I'm present in this contest lol. But you right, it's important to motivate due the incredible work means made a movie.

About the darkness I suppose that the jury can watch all movies in real format and quality it is not ?
But for us who must watch only on YouTube it's a real pity.

About the vote, I think also that "Fate Mr Fleck" is born to win and it is already in my video collection.

Some great efforts there people....it is really difficult to pick from the pack.

I've two in mind and will make a decision soon.

It's just a pity that the votes can be seen before the individual casts their preference.

Not in my case at least since the hd version would be several GB big and I dindnt want to upload that. He got a 3 mbit version which means its still highly compressed but at least way better than youtube.

Regarding the effort put into my video: oh well yes, ot was qiute some work, I guess it took me about 50 hours or so ( preparations like nodding amd ideas for for camera movements etc, the dilming itself with some trial and error and of course a lot of postproduction with AE, what imo makes my video the brst looking one at least in daylight)

But its rewarding when you finallY fonish you piece of work and its something Im proud of and Im still learning. Next time I wont use nightshots :) .

Sry for badwritimg I used my Ipod to write this on the go hehe .

The only SH3 night movie that I did was Sink the Hood and it was a pity.
Forced to increase the brightness in WMM and after it still necessary to increase again the brightness of the monitor to watch something...
Finally this movie is good to delete but it was a good moment and I keep it.
:-?
