Can we still download footage
Even though the contest is over, can we still download the footage? I'd like to try my hand at putting the scene together, and don't have access to film crew to shoot anything.
Thanks!
Question about the "HDDSLR Cinema with Vincent Laforet"
Hey,
just two quick question to the Vincent Laforet Contest. 1. Can I participate if I am from Europe? 2. As I understand the rules it is allowed to use other footage as well, as long all rights to the footage belong to me.
Thanks for your reply!
Cheers from Germany!
Jan
Answers to your Qs

Great idea but ...
This is a great idea!
Too bad that if I don't have a Vimeo Plus account I can only download 5 clips a day.
Vimeo
You are correct, without Vimeo Plus you can only download 5 videos per day. But over 8 days tops you can download all of the files. Then you'll still have well over a month to complete the edit!! We hope you participate! Cheers, Kenna

I was downloading the clips and after about 6 it told me I couldn't download anymore.
