I am loathe to do it, but the purpose of the contest is to have videos made and to have fun, and from what I am hearing, there seems to be a large number of people on the verge of dropping and/or not publishing work they want to put out.
Ughhhh....that sucks guys. An extension would have been great to ask for days ago, but here we are 3 hours from the deadline and I have already destroyed my eyes from the past two evenings of marathon editing when I could have taking it easier? (I say 2 days because I got my concept nailed down a bit late in the process.)
(Sorry, just venting some frustration.)
I guess I'd be a little more understanding if I hadn't already buckled down and squeezed every ounce of my time since Monday knowing that meeting the deadline is part of the competition. But, I can understand if it's necessary to give until tomorrow night if people may need an extra day to do some finishing touches, but four more days is too much and seems like enough time for someone who hasn't even started yet to make an entire video. I'm not against people having fun or making something they like, but some editors, like myself, have only limited days/time to edit with and I push myself to get the job done, sometimes against all concern for my sleep schedule or health.
I vote
to and extension only if it's until tomorrow, otherwise
.
Now back to editing...
