I a'm a fan, is spectacular,

I just came onto this site 2day and haven't really got used to what yhere is here. After a while I'll have a better idea.

Well the voting page went out early on accident. Atomfilms said they are going to pull it. The voting is still starting on July 1st.

well this is fucking bullshit. I did not get one email about whether or my video was viewed by the atom staff. I don't even think they know it exists. I uploaded the video when the submission button decided to run away and I got stuck with a bunch of other video's that weren't even concidered. I didin't even know there was a place to post the video if you didin't know if your video was reviewed. They also said the voting started on July 1st, but no, they are starting right now. I also saw another video that I though would for sure win one of the awards, but that one is not a finalist either. Either atom really sucks at choosing finalists, or they overlook over half of the submissions. Fuck atom, and their services. A whole months work down the fucking drain

hi kate

glad to see ATOM responding here on the forum as well. If anyone wants me (and everyone else) to see their videos post a link in the new thread at http://community.atom.com/Topic/So-Who-Submited-A-film-to-the-2009-Fan-Film-Challenge-Post-your-link-Inside/03EFBFFFF01B1C143000900BE21D0

I just read a new mail on my inbox with a confirmation abou my entry, too :) Took some time but anyway good luck and congrats for the variety and quality of the videos!

Don't worry, we'll be reviewing everyone's Star Wars submission with lots of love!

i got the same email. good luck everyone

Well, that's encouraging news, Mike. Good luck, everyone!

I received a reply from the Atom staff:

"By uploading your film you are automatically in consideration for the
Star Wars Fan Film Challenge. "

Sounds like we're good!

Update- I just got an email from Atom that said "You will hear from us in the next couple of weeks if you are selected as a finalist." So I guess that's good news, and at least I know they got the DVD and they also acknowledged my upload, so looks like everything is okay.

So much for getting in under the wire...

I also uploaded with no way to specifically flag it as a contest submission. And then emailed via the contact page. Maybe when they see a ton of "did I enter the contest?" emails, someone from Atom will post some kind of general announcement.

Well, it's making for an exciting final day (two days?) at least. ;-)

Same deal for me. If any Staff is reading this, please accept my submission to the contest:

I also emailed them via the contact page when I couldn't figure it out. I had already express mailed a DVD copy of the film to them on Friday, as I wasn't sure if my video would upload due to the use of 2 John Williams cues, but it uploaded fine. However as you have all stated, there was no link/button to select the challenge . . .

i never got any email back either so i went ahead and mailed in a copy as well. Strange that they took the buttons down, and even stranger the no reply. I guess everyone is out for holiday

I have the same question! I saw that option there days ago but.. nothing today when I upload my video... i write a mail -via contact form...- .. hoping they answer it.. and only 3 days left :S
