Great work to all who were involved, and to the five finalists, congratulations again for making it this far. You all reaped the rewards of the contest; you should all be very proud and satisfied.Now without further ado, let’s move on to the next theme:
Topic: Fall
Sticking with the theme of seasons, this rendition of the contest is about fall. Over the past couple weeks I’ve been watching the leaves change colors here, and I think it leads us well in the direction of winter. The object of this contest is to portray fall. You can do this in any number of ways – leaves, school settings, apple picking – things that represent and signify fall for you. However, I’m going to ask you to once again avoid anything skiing. There will be contests based on skiing later. I’m really excited to see these, as I think you all have a lot of potential and good material to submit. As for me, fall is my favorite season to shoot, so I’m considering throwing something together myself…
Rules:
1) No footage pulling! You must shoot/edit all new stuff!
2) Videos must be uploaded to www.vimeo.com
3) Time limit: 1 minute (we'll be a little stricter this time).
4) Must abide by the theme. If it clearly doesn't, it will be disqualified.
5) Only one submission per member, please.
6) Like mentioned above, no skiing.
The contest will run from now,9/30/2010 until 10/14/2010. After that, the submissions will be voted on by the general NS public for ONE WEEK and the 5 top videos will move on. After that, 4 judges – myself and three "celebrity" judges - will critique the videos to provide the finalists with meaningful and one-on-one feedback on their work. In the meantime, they will vote on those five videos and come up with a winner.
Good luck all, and happy shooting!

Again, submissions will not be accepted after October 14th @ 11:59 EST
