POST-CHAT Note From WideShot - Thanks to all who participated, and most of all thanks to Sarah for taking time out of her busy schedule to chat with us. For those who couldn't make it here is the transcript.

The .doc can be read by office programs, the .rtf can be read by WordPad and the txt can be read by any computer's default text viewing program (like notepad).

Awesome! :cool:

Very nifty indeed.

Excellent. :D

...man, is she ever going to be bombarded with questions, I hope she has a helmet and seatbelts!

...this is a great idea...

--spinner :cool:

I am pretty sure that I will be working on Thursday night, but I might be able to pop in for a few minutes.

Poke

...I'll be at work too, but on my dinner break. Maybe I can show up for a minute or two...

--spinner :cool:

Very Nice. I'll be there.

Sounds like a plan.......See you guys there

AW CRAP, I have to miss it because I need this two hour class at the public access channel in order to use their sound equipment for the upcoming IT contest.

Is there any way to get a transcript of the chat?

Is there any way to get a transcript of the chat?

Chatroom has a "save" button that can log it. I'm pretty sure there'll be some transcripts floating around. :)

I wanna be on the short list for one of those Transcripts.

Poke

Dang. I can't get out of work tomorrow!!!

I'd like a transcript as well if possible...I have to shoot tomorrow.

Any chance of a transcript of what was said? For those of us who could not make it.

Chat is today! For enhanced viewing, you can choose the Slamdance theme. In chat, choose "options", then, in the left drop-down, select "Slamdance", and "OK". See you there!

Wish I could be there tonight. Have fun lads.
If anyone wants to promote/mention Macbeth 3000 for me, I'd love you forever. I've filled out the online submission and will be sending them a DVD when my next paycheque comes in; next week.
www.superguncinema.com/mb3k for info and all sorts of wonderful stuff.

Off to work. Have fun in the chat tonight!

Starting very shortly. :cool:

Wrapping up some paperwork and will be there bang on time.

It's 4:30 PM and I've been trying for the last half-hour or so to join the chat, but all I get is a red X. If anyone happens to see this, could you tell me how to join the chat, or perhaps plug my cartoons?

It keeps saying it's blocking swflash.cab because it can't verify the publisher, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the chat as that comes up when I visit a lot of sites.

Sarah Diamond (or anyone else who wants to) can e-mail me at penchantpoetry@aol.com and request me to send them my cartoon shorts of Quentin Tarantino, Michael Jackson, Michael Eisner and more. I hope to have my animation page back up and running soon.


Thanks,
Brent

Have latest version of Flash installed? It's a Flash-based chatroom.

Sorry to bother you right in the middle of it. Thanks for responding. I don't know what version I've got. The last time I went on a chatroom on this computer it worked, though.

I'm going to try getting on on my old computer upstairs. That definitely doesn't have the latest version of flash, but that was the one I used back in my chatroom days of olde.

I'll see where that gets me.

For amigusurreal:

Everyone should vote at www.slamdance.com/anarchy it's animation month




In reply to "what's hot and in short supply?"

We need more animation always

Please see the edited first post of this thread for the transcript. Thanks for taking the time, Sarah :)

Bonus: Slamdance extended deadline, 3 extra days (postmarked) to IndieTalk members. Just mention that you are a member in your cover letter and on the application.

Read the transcript.. lots of great stuff. It's really cool for Sarah to do that.
If she's checking around again, I had a question:
Can I pay by Credit Card (VISA) from Canada?
Or should I just change the money into hard cash and send it via snail mail?

It says foriegn orders have to pay cash/money order/travellers cheques... but still wanted to make sure. Thanks!

On this page you'll see a "Credit Card Authorization" link.

Btw... excellent idea to do this.

I'd like to see more live chat sessions. :cool:

possibly some industry folks? cinematographers, directors, writers...that'd be neat...I would think anyone with any connections could contact them and get them in touch with the mods. What is the process that should go through guys?

Yes it was great! I was only able to attend for 30 min but I went back and read through everything... WooHoo... Animations!!!

I work with someone that is great friends with Max Collins (Writer). Maybe I could get contact info and see if he wants to do a chat?


Anyway.. Who was kicked out?

For those of us who were unable to attend the chat...is the transcript archived somewhere? Thanks!

I think there's been a case of mistaken identity. :P

OOPS! That was WideShot!!! Sorry. :blush:

C'mon bird... :rolleyes:

Er...em... :blush: ....okay, now y'all know why I did crappy on ACT/SAT, Driver's test, credit card apps, rebate coupons, ending up enlisted in the foreign legion....'cause I skim, I mean gleen (gleen makes me sound a little smarter). Sorry Wideshot.

No need to apologize, I thought it was kind of funny :)
