Nikon Festival – fail

Jay — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:51:04 +0000

So to keep up my record the Nikon Festival makes three video competitions in a row that I have entered only to never have my entry see the light of day.

I just thought I’d let you in on the disappointing truth of the matter. To make things worse Nikon didn’t even tell me straight up that I didn’t make it in. They simply sent me an Email saying “go see if you made it in!” THEN the site has been down most of the last 24 hours so I had to wait until I was heading out to work at 5:30am today to see if I made it in or not. I can’t even double check right now because it’s down again (due to too much traffic, which seems to be a grave oversight on their part).

I’m assuming, since my search turned up bupkis and the embedded version of it in a previous post is dead, that it’s been rejected and removed. They didn’t even keep it around… the pain. I need to upload it to our Live Charge YouTube account now if I want anyone to see it.

As for getting up at 5am to go to work, I started a new temporary job extracting venom from bees. Of course I got moved to packaging so I never got to extract any venom, but by the sound of it I dodged a bullet on that one.

WE’RE IN!

Looks like they reviewed our submission after rejecting it an then accepted it. Much appreciated, Nikon.

NOW GO LEAVE A COMMENT!!!

Like I haven’t changed the website enough times. I need to go back through and find screen shots of each version, this could actually be version 5 for all I know. However, the point is that it’s time for a fresh start, one that will be easier to keep up to date. That and I think I’ll make it my conglomerate blog, instead of trying to maintain the others that I have (which I take little time to do anyways).

All that said iSaber Battle 4 is on the way, and it should be sweet. I’m about 12h into the light sabers alone and it’s only amounted to maybe 1/4 of the way through… oh boy. Hopefully it’s worth it in the end though, and hopefully it wins me massive awards from… someone.
