I'm with you Trudy! I keep checking my twitter too, and I'm not a big tweeter (I don't count all the instagram posts I have on there). I can't wait to find out who gets to go to the workshop live! I wish we all could be there! I think we all had great videos, and it will be a tough decision for Sandy! Here's hoping I get to meet some you guys in person, and not just see your pretty faces online!

it's hard being patient

trudymontg
February 12, 2012 - 3:30pm

The order of the videos doesn't appear any different for me, plus I highly doubt they would give it away like that.

I do wonder if the picked students get any kind of warning or we all find out together in the big blog announcement??? I keep obsessively checking my twitter, this site, and CLfacebook, for any bit of happy news.. even though I know they wont make any announcements while the Christa Meola workshop is in progress... it's just sooo hard to be patient. I just want to know whether I'm in or not... my kids also keep asking if I got in, it's sweet and cute of them but makes it hard not to double check! :)

I know how you feel! Mine was a bit of a rush because my husband decided at the last minute to change his flight to South Africa from Tuesday to Friday so he could have an extra weekend so we had to shoot it quickly before he left and he had to edit it there for me. He cut my head off for half of it, which i was not well pleased with but then I guess it's not the top of my head that will be a factor in their decision (I hope!! lol) Anyone have any idea of how/ when they let you know? If I am lucky enough to get picked I need time to organise flights, hotel and a visa! eekkk!! good luck all!! xx

I just knew I would SO regret

ascheiman
February 12, 2012 - 7:34am

I just knew I would SO regret it if I didn't send this video out. especially since these last few months I've been looking around for workshops just like this one since I am so new to the business of photography and babys/ children are what I love to photograph. It couldn't have come at a better time and to top it off I have some Southwest credits I need to use up in a month and I was just going to let them go to waste. I've never had these great odds of winning anything. I wish that we could just all be there. Good luck and hope we hear something soon.

Can't wait to find out who's picked. I can't even look back on my video because I keep thinking what more I would have said, what I would have done differently. But after about 30 takes I just had to pick one and go with it. GOOD LUCK to all.

Karen -- I totally agree with you! I find it hard to want to be selfish and keep my fingers crossed for myself only because I think everyone totally deserves to be there. Can't wait to see who gets picked. :) Sounds like it will be an awesome experience.

Brea --- way to be, lady! LOVED your audition video. And I took a peek at your work. Beautiful! Congrats on getting the video submitted in time, in spite of the sickness. Hope you feel better soon!

Hope I spelled your name right! :-) I know how you feel, I've been soooo nervous about doing this whole audition thing, I'm too used to being on the other side of the camera! I know that when we're in the studio we'll be so absorbed in what we're doing that we'll forget about the cameras ;-) Good luck! Hopefully we get to meet each other soon, fingers crossed x

Been catching up on everyone's video submissions and wishing we could all be there! I think you guys did a great job! I'm nervous that I took the 60'ish seconds cutoff a little too seriously and didn't get enough information across. Should I submit one of my other takes that ended up being longer, I wonder? http://vimeo.com/36043318
