The deadline for receiving vids is February 1st -- this at least was announced on the Escapade website, so hopefully you've all been aware of it before now. I'm really sorry for the delay in providing details; I only got involved about a week ago myself.

New Buffy vid

[river-boat.livejournal.com]

I finished my second video recently, and would love to get some feedback/criticism. It can be downloaded from my website Dead But Still Pretty> Its not at all complex or original as far as concepts or narratives go, I was concentrating mostly on trying to do get the clips mesh with the changing mood and tempo of the music. And on trying to get to grips with Premiere ;-). I'm not especially thrilled with the first half, so if anyone *does* watch it and get bored with that bit, then skip to the second half for something completely different.

Some help on MPEG-2 encoding

Note: I hope to be adding more information to this as time permits, but given how close the deadline is, I figure it's better to put out whatever I can provide as soon as possible. This includes tips from both PC and Mac perspectives, but I unfortunately am a PC-only user myself, so I haven't actually been able to try out the Mac instructions/software.
