and last of all, according to blastwave...

submissions should include the intro and outro whether or not any sound is designed for them. They should be the length of the full clip and not just the 30 secs of PSA.

I am told that all registrants should be getting an email clarifying the details that sem to have slipped through the cracks.

according to blastwave...

judges will only judge the 30 sec PSA and not any design to the intro and outro titles. However, the submissions put up on blastwave's site will include the intro and outro, so it may be beneficial to include design for those elements.

heard back from Blastwave...the HD 29.97 clip is correct.

anyone building against the lo-res 30fps clip will need to pulldown their video and make sure their submission runs at 29.97 AKA video speed.

Right. Good thing to shoot them an email. So you noticed because it was drifting? Dang that really is a problem. And I totally agree that its something they should have watched out for. Especially since the shots cut back and forth between the durations of each splash, making it all the more important to keep sync.

30 sec is enough to notice the drift by the end. I checked my submission built against the HD 29.97 clip and the checked it against the lo-res 30fps clip, and it was noticeable enough for me to bother bringing the issue up. Noticeable enough for someone on the mix stage to say "hey, effect is out of sync...it should be on the cut..."

Good point on the intro and outro titles and sync pops. The titles are not part of the "30 secs" of clip. Adding the titles in make the clip about 43 seconds.

Ive emailed blastwave about this, but have not heard back.
