Hi... I just missed the deadline. My video is ready.. Can I still upload it? My system was acting up. Please try to consider this.

Hi Jimmy, did you create a full-fledged video or a Pitch?

Hey... please let me know if I can still upload my pitch video. I feel terrible to miss the deadline but my system just kept crashing. Would really appreciate it.11:06AM May 14, 2012

Most of the video projects on Tongal now use the Pitch phase. I'm just curious why a brand would prefer that over just going from the Idea Phase to the Video Phase. I realize they are getting a more developed concept etc. but it seems the Pitch Phase trend is taking the "Crowd" out of crowdsourcing.
Caleb Light-Wills
Tongal has always been an iterative platform and the Pitch Phase is simply the next logical step in our process. From a brand perspective, the Pitch phase allows for more fully developed, "on-equity" creative to emerge, which means more potential applications and uses for the content.

From a creative standpoint, it means guaranteed payment, increased client feedback and greater exposure for the producer. We think it has, therefore, created a win-win situation for both sides of the equation.

I do see the merit in the Pitch Phase, I like the idea of having a production budget & guaranteed payment. I just hope it doesn't narrow the playing field too much as time goes by.5:17AM May 15, 2012

Unknown Media posted on HANDLE IT
To follow the previous videos with the Handle It style, they use their bumper in the middle of the video, and have a little "funny" clip afterwards. Since there is no asset for this, how does that work with how we should edit it?
Caleb Light-Wills
Insert a few frames of black.

Josh Williams commented Josh Williams's submission
This video has two parts. The set up and the payoff at the end. There is a cut between the two parts where the middle title card should go.

3) If the project has what we call a "wildcard" option you can make a video even if you haven't won in the pitch phase. 4)The only person who is allowed to make a video based on a winning pitch is the person who submitted it. Therefore, pitch contents are not displayed publicly.

IS there some way I can get a copy of that song?
The Norman Invasion
The composer is more than willing to license its use for $500,000,000.

Damn, I only have $400 million. Guess I'll just have to license stairway to heaven or something.12:57PM Mar 12, 2012

Jared Siskin
this is great!
did u guys use ae?
u wrote the soundtrack yourselves?! nice
this is inspiring, keep it up
The Norman Invasion
No AE, though it would've made the mattes and rotos much easier for sure. A composer we like did the music for us, and did the music on our video for Pringles and Pretzel Crisps as well.

Thanks man. It was a bit of a nightmare at times to make, but turned out well, thankfully, haha.

As a less experienced video editor, may I ask how you got all the objects to move without human interaction? (ie. Did you use string, or did you reverse the clips,etc.). I am just curious.
Good job and Congrats!
The Norman Invasion
haha, yeah you pretty much got it. string and fishing line tied to hooks on the ceiling, and every which way off camera. also some reversed shots, lots of painting out wires, and matteing and compositing.
