Ah. I suppose it was just me then.

Great.

Good.

Hey, a query to those who live dangerously; what was the closest you all got to deadline to start a new video from scratch and STILL made it in time to be accepted? I'm gambling with a second video and would like to hear some inspiring stories.

I've never edited in an airport before...

That's... ...kinda awesome, actually. +1 for dedication.

36 hours. Of which I edited, then rendered nonstop. Then outputted to VHS and ran to the last post office open late on a Saturday. Yes, this was long ago.

But that was 36 for an effects heavy video, and by that I mean lots of photoshop compositing. I wouldn't recommend it for effects heavy. I outputted the last possible render with a glitch in it that caused a 3 second sequence to repeat followed by a 2 second black empty space before it went back to the proper part of the video. Left myself no time for fixes, so off it went. :/

just submitted my 3!

Since people are sharing their editing stories here's mine. Pretty much edited nearly every day for about 5 months strait just to finish one video. I don't think it's a good idea to rush things especially when your dealing with effects, ended up redoing a couple sections cause i realized a way better way to do them don't want to think how it would have ended up if i only had 36 hours to finish. Did a good job with the source footage quality since Troy asked me for a copy after our back and forth over a minor issue.

let the near-deadline hype begin

Interestingly, Action is dominating pretty massively this year.

Good thing my only entry isn't action. It is. Not much more to do so hopefully I'vv be able to send off tonight and have a liiiitle bit of leeway.

Action had the most entries for Conji, but it didn't best Drama by much.
