I guess it's time to bite the bullet, and unleash the entry that will be coming last in the Competition

All 3 of my video's are the same, just with the different logo, in hope one of the networks prefer it more than the other

RI Entry - Ophey

[eonbar]

Okay boys and girls.
I've had this idea floating around my head, about how ignorance gets you nowhere. i was unsure about how to market it, becuase i didn't want to offend people becuase Ignorance is quite a strong term.

i guess the reason why im trying to state that "Ignorance gets you nowhere" is becuase people think they are correct, when they have no basis or research behind their thoughts, and to me this is a huge huge huge folly of being human. Ignorance is not a pretty thing, and god its annoying....

stretching it to its uppermost extent, its kinda like people being homophobic, or racist or sexist. people who think all gay people are camp, or all Muslims are terrorists..... i know im really pushing it, but ignorance of these things really gets me ...

so i decided to do a lil ol video about it. Its not so much a walk through/guide/history of the whole freebieness, but more of an ADVERT. It didnt turn out exactly as i wanted. first of i wanted someone elses help to formulate my ideas. my brother is great at editing and he is a great camera-man .... but alas i kept on putting it off, and putting it off to make this vid, so i kinda rushed it today on my own. about 3 hours to shot, edit and upload ...

im rambling.
Tech notes: iMac 24" with iMovie
put contrast to 100% to give it that aged look which fits the music quite well i think (Down in Mexico - the coasters)
my trusty polo 1.4 Cl :P (unwashed ... lol)
canon ixus 70
a bit of paper with IGNORANCE typed on it .... not enough time for video makeover

The idea is that theres this guy following his IGNORANCE, and he ends up at the same place he started of. rewatching this just now ... god it could have been done so much better ... i dnt think theres a sense of movement?? needed some shots of the car driving/FOLLOWING the signs ... ah well ... a camera man would have been nice :P heh


YouTube - Ignorance Gets You Nowhere - RI Entry

And yes, the amount of times i almost crashed was unbelievable. driving, changing gear, looking at what your filming, looking where your going ... god almighty. you can see the white lines weaving about quite a lot. lol

[Rumon]

Did clear this with Jon as I let him know I had to wait a stupidly long time to render the video. Shouldnt really be a problem anyway as others are submitting up until the 1st...

god, i hope that wasn't me :S
i messaged all my freebie gift youtube 'friends' [subs :P] rallying votes ...
huhmmmm

[Jon]

1 suspect vote for another finalist, same reasons as above.

[Jon]

Right, i wont say who has the suspect votes, but in all 3 cases they are zero posters, who all voted for the same member in this and the different poll's

I am going to speak to Ash, and the other 2 networks to get their opinion on the situation before a final decision is made, this will delay the final poll untill tomorrow

this is no longer a suspect voter, the member while having zero posts did vote for different videos across the polls

i didn't think to ask if a couple of my friends were active on exceem, but i think all of my voter's were already on here, i think 1 guy tried to vote after making an account he thought he already had, that's about it.

I'm pretty sure the 2 voters are on mine or the outcome would of been announced.



i have really bad luck anywayz, im sure something will go wrong and i won't get in somehow.

[Opehelia]

no news yet?

[eonbar]

yeh... whats going down
will have to check tomorrow night i guess ....

[Opehelia]

it's gotta be me with the two suspect voters, or the outcome would make no difference.

bit strange cause only people i asked to look at the competition were 3 friends who im sure use exceem at least every now and then :/

so i'm either first, or drawn?

The same thing occurred to me yesterday. It sounds as though Jon is discussing with Ash whether to disqualify Opehelia for the 2 dodgy votes. That way resolving the tie loosing them created.

I'm quoting myself cause I realise this sounds a bit wrong. It should be "because of the 2 dodgy votes" instead of "for".

[Jon]

Seam's Ash isnt arround, as said before there was suspect voting from 2 zero post members

My instinct was to have a "run off poll" between ophella and eonbar - but since I wasnt stumping up for the prize I wanted to see Ash's thoughts on it.
