When is best time of year for the Video Contest?

Postby Chuck Engels » Sat Jan 30, 2010 12:08 pm

A few members have suggested that there are better times in the year to have our video contest.

We have held this contest in some form for the past 6 years starting with http://www.videoinasnap.com which was lead by Ed Mann, Tiki Tim, Steve and me from 2005 - 2007. Videoinasnap held the first 3 contests and we always ran the contest in the late winter early spring. It has just been kind of a tradition not a rule. We could easily change the time of year we do the contest so what do you all say, what would be the best time of year to hold the contest?
1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.

2. Cybertron PC - Liquid Cooled AMD FX6300, 6 cores, 3.50ghz - 32GB DDR3 - MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4G, 4GB Video Ram, 1024 Cuda Cores.

I would think Winter would be best, when we are all house-bound to some degree. On the other hand, if we are going to shoot new footage, fall or spring might be better. Just thinking...

Winter/Spring is best for me. I am usually not in a hurry to finish a project for the holiday season at that time. In the summer months I sometimes have to put in 12-14 hour days at work.

I would think mid-late spring, as the weather would probably be nice for any outdoor shooting required. But then most of my shooting is wildlife.
