Lol. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's viewable! ;P

y u no post on youtube? I was so looking forward to this, because I believe you could give us a different approach to Batman :*(

OK, to clear up any confusion, this is NOT Batman: The Timeless Knight.
This is your typical modern Batman animation, just without Robin, bad voice acting, blood, choppy animation, curse words or stupid/nonsensical jokes.

Now, for one reason or the other I can't see the Q&A section on the Tongal website. It's just a blank page.
So while that "Share" may mean I can't link to the video, even the Tongal page, I wasn't corrected when I said this on the "DISCUSSIONS" page:

Therefore, I'm assuming that once the video is made public, I can link to it all day long. BUT the Tongal support hasn't yet returned my message (Or anyone's messages for that matter) regarding when/if the videos will be available for public viewing. The strange thing is, Tongal is sorta playing with my head, because earlier I could see my video even when logged out, but now I can't. That was why I thought it had gone public.

I'm sorry about this, and should have triple-checked the link before posting it here. I was impatient, and apologize for jumping the gun and getting you guys all exited for nothing.

If only they had said this before...

Don't get me started....Just don't.

Mr. Tongal guy has begun ignoring any and all questions put to him on the subject.
So in between lack of answers, and contradictory info, I don't know much. The only bits of silver lining are the really cool (And unexpected!) trophy in my current siggy, and the nice large check that is now in my bank account.
The last thing that I heard was this:

But the official rules say only first place gets on the DVD, so yeah....

Being on a DVD would be nice, but the total lack of info from the very start has being incredibly confusing.
That being said, I am lucky enough to actually get something for my trouble, and feel really sorry for those who didn't place, haven't gotten any money for their time and effort, and yet are still not allowed to share their videos.

In other words, just ignore this release until I bump it with new info. And don't look for it being public anytime in the near future....Assuming it will even be available on YT/Tongal. (Since it may very well be a DVD exclusive.)

I don't think that I can do that.
It may work for those who didn't get any prize money, and still legally own their film, but Lego technically "Bought" the film when I won the contest, meaning that they own all the rights to everything.
And I'd rather not make a mistake and get tangled up in a big legal mess...

Good point.
I guess I'm going to have to buy a DVD next year.

I read the T&C's and by entering you give the sponsor and Tongal the right to do with it what they wish. Re-edit, distribute whatever. However it didn't say exclusively meaning it is still your property. The later competitions now do state that you sign away all rights by entering. The only difficulty in releasing is if you used the AudioSocket tunes as you would only have right to use it in the competition. As I didn't place I re-dubbed the audio and put it up on YouTube.
If you wanted your film to be on the DVD I would hold off on a public release until after that.

Yep, looks like it's available.  On a slow network so I'll comment later.
