Years from now when 4K becomes the standard it's not going to seem like such a bad idea. mini/smile

I'm sure people with Logitech 4000s might have said the same with HD. Regardless, I think 4K for something like THAC is a bit much, living out here in Ireland with dreadful internet makes even normal videos a pain to view sometimes. It's of course up to you, and I am interested in 4K, but you might lose some views in the process.

This might be true right now but the times they are a changin. It's not as if I am forcing people to watch my film at 4K. The option to watch it at a lesser resolution is still there. YouTube also compresses 4K videos less and this even on a 1080p screen it will look better.

I do see what you mean, though I do think it may be on the risky side to make you video for THAC in 4K, as it could take a long time to upload due to the file size. But if you have the connection to handle that, than I say you should go for it.

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

Will not be able to make THAC this year; speaking in Florida. Good luck to all entrants.

So yeah, I'm back from my mind.

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

The "Does it need to be processed before the deadline?" question is a bit of a grey area. In general, THAC hosts have given the benefit of the doubt to filmmakers on such issues because chances are they did actually make their film in time. Plus with this issue, the film would have been completed and uploaded in time, because it's not like the URL changes.

I won't give a definitive answer - we'll deal with it if it crops up. Just try to get your entry in on time!

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

I think submitting the URL that the video will be at once uploaded/processed is before the cutoff is fair. Like Hazzat says, you receive the URL once you begin the upload (meaning that your film has to have been completed by that point anyway) and it doesn't change.

Given varying internet speeds around the globe and that some places (*cough*Australia*cough*) have very slow internet in comparison, this seems a fair way to put people on equal footing.

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

I'm sorry but i won't join in this year , i'm going for a holiday for 6 weeks. Besides i had not been active on the forums for weeks i might as well just not enter for the sake of it.

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

Well that sure is optimistic. mini/blankexpression

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

I think I'll enter mini/smile I know I'll regret it if I don't! I don't really have any ideas right now but I'm sure one will come to me on the day. Also, by that time I'll have a few new Lego sets at my disposal that will help inspire me mini/wink

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

As you all know, THAC 11 is just twelve days away!

So, in spirit of the holidays, I thought we could start the Twelve Days of THAC. Starting today, leading up to the contest, post a link to a favorite film of your choosing from any of the previous contests. There are no restrictions on the number of films posted each day; the more the merrier!

I suppose I'll start with this little beauty, Flight of the Penguin.

12 days already? That's better news than christmas.

If we're going with films from last year Max Butcher's Pretention-Off was one of my favourites, once again he proves himself as one of the best writers in the brickfilming community.

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

So many great THAC X entries, but I also very much enjoy entries from previous THAC. For example, some of Mindgame's first films were entries into some of the first THACs. I doubt that you guys haven't seen "A Bad Day"...

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

Re: THAC 11 is on the way!

Andy and I have been plotting the next appearance of everyone's favourite singing burglar. This will be fun.

Fantastic!!!!
Er, I mean, it has a lot to live up to, so make sure it's really good. mini/wink

I'm about to wrap on my Christmas in a Minute video, and as soon as that's done I'm off to cleaning my room and building sets for THAC. (Mostly the former...)

The best THAC film.  No need to be mentioning anything else.
