The DV Challenge #7 - Charity Edition

The DV Challenge #7 Charity Edition
$739 raised for the charity of the winner's choice!

In my opinion, everyone who submits a film is a finalist. Just getting it done is a victory in it's own. Talk is cheap and signing up is free, so actually going through with it is the big step, regardless of who wins. So here's to you guys and gals!

DV Challenge #7 Prize Package!
A huge thanks to Guy Cochran at http://www.dvestore.com/ for putting up another killer prize. This time the winner gets his or her hands on a new Sennheiser G2 wireless mic system. Mike Teutsch has also donated one of his cand crafted dollies to the winner!

The best part of the prize though is being able to donate our pool of over $700 to the charity of your choice! So not only do you get some great gear, you get to make a difference in someone else's life too.

Big thanks to Chris Hurd for giving us a home here on DVinfo.net, the best darn video forum out there!
