Hey all! I thought I'd let you know about this because I'm sure there's got to be some fan filmmakers here at the Downs. You can represent the Downs at this event, it would be great!

Tigerlily! Long see, no time!

What a great idea. I saw I special on cable; the best of the Star War fan films. Surely our beloved opus can inspire even greater efforts.

I just hope they show the winners online.

My beloved works for a TV station; Alas, that deadline is too near. smilies/frown.gif

Hm..no flash, and that's not enough time to do anything in Maya, being the deadline is too near. (Maya takes quite a while to work in). Videos with..err..real people in them, isn't my thing. smilies/wink.gif

What's so wrong with flash animation? sheesh.

*stares at it for a long time, sighs wistfully, and walks away*

Actually, I won't walk away just yet. Though quite unable to enter (the deadline being just one of the problems), this sounds extremely interesting. Would it by any chance be on TV or something? *looks hopeful*

Wow, it's Princess Tigerlily! *waves ecstatically*

That looks really cool. I wish I knew something about film/had a camera/had the time.
