Good point Buxton.

Last year’s Brick Fest entry form had editable (with acrobat) fields. But the BricksWest form earlier this year was not editable. I’d like to see the forms editable.

On ANOTHER note:

Who’s planning on entering a video clip? There are heaps of animators around here now, and there is NOTHING better than a little competition (and a screening in front of a live audience) to bring the best out of us all.

I was planning on doing a small Monty Python song a few weeks ago, but didn’t have enough time. I may rethink it and do it over the summer and enter it into Bricksfest.

Just a thought.

If you have the “Free” version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will be able to enter in data in the fields on the form. You can then print the form after you have completed it. You then send the completed form to the competition address with your entry or entries.

If you have the next level of Adobe Acrobat, a paid-for version, you will be able to save the form with all of the data in the form. This level of Adobe Acrobat is the Signature version and allows you to send the form digitally to others with a signature on it and the data filled in.

The next level of Adobe Acrobat is the full version and that version will allow you to make your own forms. Different security settings will allow the creator of the form to prevent the user from doing certain things to the form. These include adding information, adding fields, saving the form, and printing the form. Let me assure you that the entry form security settings will be set at a level appropriate for you to enter data, save the form, and print the form.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader is the only version of this software that you will need to enter information into the fields. Alternatively, the fields will be left blank and you may fill in the fields by hand. I will be certain to leave “prompting data” out of the fields so that if you chose to print a “blank” entry form, you may do so.

If I can ever get around to it, I will enter aswell. My mind has been far from animating recently. Work, car problems, and a dear dear friend of mine (i get to see her next week ) have all had my attention, some more than others.

I want to be clear about the rules, however. Any entry received after the dealine will not be included in the competiton. Each competitors submission must be placed on a separate video tape. Any combining of entries on a video tape means that the first video on the tape will be treated as the first priority video. In essence, each video tape will be considered as coming from an individual or a group of artists. The second video on the tape will be entered only if there is room in the competition based on the time constraints for the competition.

I have several questions regarding the submission by international contestants. The first is about the Customs. They thoroughly examine any package entering or leaving the country. This examination includes X-rays, which means that magnetic tape can be severely damaged. For example, a video ordered by a teacher of mine, which was sent from the states, looked like a VHS you rent that’s been in the rental for 10 years.

The second is about the above mail. Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair to have someone, who kindly provides this service to the community without asking anything in return, put every video on a new tape, thus increasing material and postage cost? I think it would be more fair to consider entries on one tape, that have entry forms with different names and addresses, as different, equal entries, rather than privileging the one that happens to be the first.

With mine,it’s mostly action galore.The only set pieces are some walls.
