Students: Win a free ETC console for your School.

[josh88]

This is the first video I was moved to vote for, and it appears it may not have met the deadline. I'll keep checking, just in case there's a delay.

Can't wait for March 29, 2012.

They had sent out some email or I got an update somewhere saying that stuff that got submitted on the deadline day wouldn't make it to the site till next day or so, so as long as they got in in before midnight they'll still be in the running.

So am I the only one minority concerned about Park Point putting jackets in an apparently live (blue light is on) sensor rack?

well that and sliding lenses around on the floor and eating popcorn off of the reflector of a par, none of which really seem like a strong choice.

Top hat jousting. I thought the whole thing was completely random, and not really helping their case...we've got so much, we can play chess and eat popcorn with our instruments, and make puppets out of dimmer doublers. Just my thoughts.

Hey it's not as bad as a friend showed me on youtube of a moving light someone took overs off of and put underwear on. And yes, they were obviously quite intoxicated (the people in the video, not my friend)! Can't find the video now though-- it was in a shop so wonder if boss found it and made them take it down.

I too have submitted a video. I'm quite happy with it. Anyway, it's not up on the contest site yet, but here is a YouTube link to convince you that I deserve your vote! Thanks!

Wow, thanks for telling us about this competition! We probably wouldn't have heard about it any other way! If you're gonna set up an account to try and troll votes for your video, that's fine, but at least post something more than a form email someone came up with to send out to everyone you know.

If a CB member does not win, I'm going to be upset.

With the large number of people who have joined just to ask us to vote for them, I wouldn't be surprised at all if a CB Member wins. Whether they were a member before hand...

It's amazing how many people had videos last minute. Good job to everyone!

I wouldn't exactly call it trolling for votes. I just thought it would be a good idea. I was stupid and didn't even look to see if there was a thread about the contest so I originally created a new one and my post was moved here.
I will admit its a basic "heres a contest!" statement and a shameless plug for the video though.

Re: ETC Contest

Now that I've read the thread, theres a ton of great videos out there. Check this one out and give it a vote if you think it deserves one.

Re: ETC Contest

Looks like the kids from the school I used to teach at made one: Show Us Your ETC

To be fair, that expression 3 had issues when I taught there 3 years ago.

Re: ETC Contest

I'm jealous of the OLD consoles half the schools have (If we don't win a console I think one of the schools that does should send us their old express(ion))! Of course an EOS would be awesome so that our crew could actually learn the console instead of the few times I year we can rent stuff having combat programming where we try to program a show in 2 hours (one-off concerts/events) on an unfamiliar board and the rest of the time trying to run an LED and mover rig on consoles not designed for it!

Re: ETC Contest

The "beards of ETC calendar" section in one had me on the floor, and the one from Palo Alto was indeed, very well done.

 

[Call911]

Did anyone else receive an email today asking to FTP the full res version of their video? I'm trying to figure out of everyone got this, or only a few.

 

[sarahsliefie]

yes. everyone got that email. Both of our students got it.
