Question: Dunedin - Wasn't team 'White Horse' disqualified for delivering a non-compliant file?

in reply to nzmick:

Question: Dunedin - Wasn't team 'White Horse' disqualified for delivering a non-compliant file?

It certainly didn't screen at heat, which is a shame.
I was looking forward to seeing another Wanaka entry .

Treefrog, can you shed some light on this please?

By the way,

Congratulations to all the Dndn finalists ( note that 1/3 of the finalists were out of towners too!)

In response: TeamWhiteHorse DID enter a compliant file, it just wasn't available at the time of the Heats as it was sent to the wrong address :-}

A replacement file, sent for Heats playout only was, sadly, a fail.
The original, however, plays fine :-)

So, we're all smiles from CO.

I tell ya, bro, the competitors make me jump through hoops, and every year they're taller and I swear the flames get bigger.

To All in the Dunedin Outfit:

My deepest thanks to you all for such an outstanding night! Great atmosphere, good vibes and great winners.

I've been without internet access for a while, but I wanted to get in and say what an absolutely AWESOME night we had at the finals last Friday.

Great presentation, awesome crowd, sweet freebies and outstanding films.

Huge congrats to Rabies Babies for a well-deserved win, and to Craig Storey for putting on a great show.

And the after party was good too!

I reckon that this is the best Dunedin finals that we've EVER had.

Whadya reckon?

Silence means consent, Dan,
And I HAD A BLAST!

Thanks to all the wondeful folks who came & saw and shouted out,
partied and had a fine old time.

I'm arranging a venue for us to gather and watch the Nationals now,
I'll be in touch!

Shelfman has been listed as by MacJay Productions. Could you please fix this?

Will do, Will.

Thanks Cookie.
