Lets Make A Forum Movie

The other night I had a bright idea (yes, I do have good ideas) :) that we should make a forum movie. Ive seen it done many times on other forums and it was really popular.

Now, my first idea was to make a movie with a plot, but then I realised that the key members (ya know, the regulars) might not have access to a camcorder or webcam, so I thought of another idea:

Lets have a competition to make the funniest, stupidest, most rediculas video clip. From reading the posts for a year or so, we shouldnt have any problems with this one :)

The rules are simple. Create a video clip. Thats it! :)

Either use a webcam, camcorder or an animation app such as Flash, but if you do animation try and include yourself. Lets say YOU have to feature somewhere in the movie. Either in the movie, or as the director or something like that. When your done, save it (try and use DivX please with a bit rate of approx 500kbs - some of use are 56kers) :) , upload it and post it.

At the beginning of December i'll create a vote so we can get the winner.

Go get creative :D

Just thought of another rule - you can submit as many clips as you like :)

Might make things more interesting :D

I could, but its compresses as DivX 5 for smallness reasons. In MPEG its quite a few megs, in divx its less that a meg. Oh, and im a 56ker do large uploads arent good for the health :)

I did consider uploading it as an avi but I remembered why I wrote a readme file. All the stuff at the end is hardly readable so I put it in the readme file.

If I were you I wouldnt install divx at college. I did that last year with horrible consequences :)

Well we cant install it. All the computers are run off the server, not the local machine. and we dont have access rights to the server, so we cant install stuff

We never used to be able to run exes either. You could only run exe which they specificed. like "word.exe" and "paint.exe"

the easy way around this was name the exe to "paint.exe" and run it :P

Yeah, ive done that before. Another trick (only works in NT not 2000) is to open Windows help and search for help on control panel items. Choose one and then click 'open' and it appears :D
