Hey guys,
I am putting together the next challenge, and it promises to be among the most complex things we have ever done.
And we need some help.
We need to record some stock footage for the challenge.
The footage would be of people performing certain storyboarded tasks.
It can be of all levels of quality, from Hi-8 to HD, but it has to brand new.
If interested, or you have some ideas, please post on this thread…
Thanks

I might be able to shoot some HD footage we have 2 HD 24/P cams at the office, but obviously they are not mine, so, it would have to be something we could shoot not at a location, well you HAVE to have a location, but I mean not a lot of “places” options. Roberto, you can PM me if you want to talk more specifically.
One thing that I wonder is the HD footage requires a lot of space and bandwidth for a lot of downloads, I could compress them to jpg seq, or something but still probably be a few hundred megs, right? Just wondering how those details would work out…
We could divite the footage into chunks (maybe 50 megs each) and save it in free hosting services. Or we could record it at video rez.
Anyone else?

I can host also… but don’t think i can record any of my own (no time, but I do have access to a camera, so we’ll see)
OK people I will be contacting you guys with the TOPIC of the next challenge.
Anyone else?
-R
I hope you can join us…
We will do something different for this challenge. Since it is a compfxwars, and it require filming, we will have a pre production period of AT LEAST two weeks.

Hey! I might be able to do some stuff.
I have access to a Panasonic DVX 100 with Progressive 24. And by then we might have some extra lenses for improved DOF too.
I also have a green screen. It’s not the best, but if you need one, we might be able to swing it.
Thanks!
Mr. Ortiz - I am enjoying your interview on the CG Cast podcast!

You are welcome. Thank God I was having a “light accent” day when we recorded that.

Sorry guys, wont be able to shoot any footage 
I leave for Ireland in just over a week, and seeing as my camera hasn’t been organised yet I don’t think I’ll have time.
Well we will spend about TWO WEEKS in PRE Production…
Can you help us in about three weeks?
-R
Nah mate. I leave this saturday (24th) and I’m away untill end of July.
Going to be getting location footage though, but it’ll only be shot on a 1CCD MiniDV
i haven’t got my camera yet either but will be getting one soon enought to be able to help out…
i am in the d/fw metroplex and i am willing to act and to film in anyones project that wants this fat guy… i think that i could make a great villian… i will be doing my own project too on my sanyo hd handheld when i get it and i could use the help as well…

Could you guys record some simple “gags” and post them?
Like Hitting a wall or the floor?
Or batting a “Green Tube”?
It would be cool if we could offer some raw video for people without teams
to be able to play with.
