I think in previous years you would get a call to tell you that you were disqualified on the Monday after 48hrs.....but that's more for technical issues. I think disqualification based on failure to follow guidelines happens after heats? I remember being able to vote for a few films last year that were missing compulsory elements.

....But don't quote me on that.

You'll know if you're disqualified because your city manager will ring you to mock you :)

Seriously, I doubt that an oversized v48hours credit would disqualify you. A completely missing credit? - maybe. But then it's not up to me...

Assume all is a-ok, unless you receive a call from your City Manager sometime this week.

I doubt you would be disqualified for something as minor as this.

Likewise, I'm not manager or authority,
but as long as it's pretty clear that your credit was supposed to say the V48HOURS 2012 thing,
I don't think they're going to DQ you on it being not 100% perfect.

I agree with clang in that it'd be more likely if it was completely missing.

This is how it tends to go when there are lots of films. It's just impossible to go through hundreds of films with a fine-tooth comb before the heats.

Technical issues are identified before the heats (usually).
Elements etc tend to be identified by the judges either at the heats or in judging.

Basically, unless your city manager tells you otherwise, assume you're A-OK.

I wasn't complaining or anything by the way, it's totally the most sensible way of doing it :)

in reply to Jameseywebshow:

I actually had the same thing I completely forgot to write the whole this film was part of the V48Hour comp thing and i and the whole team are quite worried if we will get disqualified for that.....
How do we know if we are still in?
Our heat is tonight as well
:)

in reply to KendraBabes18:

I would expect James to be fine, and you to be DQd.

But I'm probably being unreasonable. I feel like this rule is stated so clearly that there's really no excuse for missing it out entirely. But sometimes the organisers are pretty relaxed about the more minor requirements.

in reply to Jameseywebshow:

I'm just really worried that we will be disqualified because of this missing words. Anyway how do i find out if i am disqualified?

Nah, all good.
You're in, a minor text malfunction and under/over scale rendering.
'Tis but a scratch."

i'm pretty sure that missing the end credit does not mean disqualification. Relax

Thank you all!

Now that Jameseywebshow is sorted, can someone tell me if there was meant to be a section on the Online Wrap-up Form where you tick a box to confirm that you have all the release forms? I remember it from previous years, but because of lack sleep, I don't remember ticking a box yesterday.

BTW I do have all the necessary release forms.

I do not recall a tick box for release forms.

I am curious when they are required.

Do you have to turn them in if you're a city finalist,
or only if you're a national finalist
or only if you win the whole shebang or what?

Wow, I hope you're right.

Ahhh, might be a problem...

Rule #4 from

http://www.v48hours.co.nz/2012/register/?ss=rules

Your Short film MUST include the Final closing credit:
"This film was made as part of V48HOURS 2012 "

MUST means just that.

Oh. So were are in trouble then? We did include it just it didn't fit.
I'm from dunedin so you'll probably come across it treefrog...

in reply to Jameseywebshow:

I don't think so. You had it but it wasn't perfect, I think that'll slide, the person in trouble is the one that omitted it entirely.

Yeah, I think that guy is in poo...we'll see.

So we put the V48 etc credit at the top of the credits. Am now worried that we may get disqualified. :o( Guess we mistook final credit for final credits. Bugger me!

ah i didn't notice that the "Must" was capitalized. El diablo soup missed the end credit too
