How do i find a beta?

I have a video I need someone else to look at. I can't put it on the web because it's supposed to premiere at ConneXions. I need suggestions on it before I send it off. The concept is a multifandom constructed reality, and doubts have been expressed.

Any volunteers? it's to "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Blue Oyster Cult and contains clips from Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Omen 3 and Buffy.

TIA!

Vividcon Vid Auction

Inspired by the Escapade art auction, we've come up with the idea to try something new this year, as a general fundraiser for the con: a vid auction. VividCon is pretty expensive to put on, because of the small membership and high equipment costs, so we're looking for some alternatives for raising money that will keep us from having to constantly push membership costs higher, and which might also be fun in their own right.

The basic idea of the vid auction is this: a vidder puts up an offer to make a vid to order, with whatever conditions she feels are appropriate -- e.g., listing what fandoms she'll work in, how the song will be chosen (both parties should be happy with the song, but beyond that, either one can be responsible for coming up with suggestions), how much input the bidder gets to have into clip choices -- and then we hold an online auction, with the proceeds to go to the con.
