Well the video's are in and first I'd like to thank you all for playing and helping me with
this project...... Now on to the winners and such, we will pick out the winner in the next week or two but remember it is Christmas time so at least one of my judges is on
holiday which means someone out there will start there new year with a new kite....
Anyway thank you all once again and now I have some really great video to use in the
new upcoming Rev video DVD which is put in all the kites..... Ben

... Please remember, when you send video to Ben, send the RAW unedited footage and well as the finished video...

Done

Cannot wait to see !!!

Here's what I'm thinking and wanted to run it by the Family and get your input.... I want people to put
together a 3 or 4 minute high action video with music and Rev flying, you know with dive stops and fast
action team flying and just build a really cool FAST ACTION video and then have say 3 judges
of my choice decide who takes first, second, and third , then award say a custom B-Pro to the winner or
maybe even some cash but make it a real cool prize for the winners..... Then use some of the cuts in the
new up coming store demo DVD which is sent out world wide and yes you will get credit for the video
and your stuff will be seen world wide, plus it's been a while since we played and I gave away a anything.
So I'm perfectly clear it's got to be Revolution products not some homemade stuff and it's got to be attention getting footage and Revolution has your permission to use the clips..... So are you guys game
cause I know you all have some really cool video clips...... Ben


Editor's note, clarified guidelines:

• All video submissions for this contest should be a maximum of 10 minutes in length, this makes it attainable for everyone, and it will assure "the best shots" are used.
• All video submissions should also be uploaded to Vimeo or YouTube, otherwise the judges will not be able to review them (geographical limitations).
  (YouTube allows you to set a "private - viewable only with direct URL" option during upload)
• MOV (quicktime) format is ideal, if at all possible, it's most versatile for commercial editing down the road.
  
• Videos should be retained in their original, highest resolution and frame rate for Revolution use.
• The full size version of your video should be accessible to Rev by data DVD or CD mailing.
• Uploaded videos should be at a minimum resolution of 1280(x720 or whatever).
• All submissions may be used by Rev, although the winners will receive prizes.
• DEADLINE is December 10th, 2011.

Nice..... Ben

[goestoeleven]

Well, I'm finally going to the post office with my DVDs. Sorry for the delay; I had some issues with the DVD burner on my laptop. I hope you can use some of the footage. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and I hope you all get to enjoy some time off.

Wow, wow , wow, I never thought this would be this hard but none of the judges can really agree cause they are
all pretty damn good, and then Joe had to make his video with the paraglider... ps Joe thought I was going to let him win cause
his was so cool, Joe get your own kite....... So here is where we are I have four videos that were the bomb and I had
three judges and none agreed and I liked them all so I'm useless.... So when I check in with all the folks who helped
and they agree I'm going to put the four names in a hat then in another hat 1,2,3,4,
so my picker will pick one from one hat then reach over and pick another out of the other hat and those to go together......
1. Gets a B Pro with any frame, 2. Gets a set of no snag handles and a T-Shirt 3. Gets a set of Race Rods and a T-Shirt
4. Gets a set of 120 ft 90 lb line set and a T-Shirt...... Plus as a bonus each winner gets $50.00 in Rev Bucks on anything
they want to order at the factory.... I'd also like to thank everyone who played and went the extra mile to help us out
and everyone who did a video is welcome to a copy of the DVD when we make it later in the year no charge so they
can see there hard work being used by the best kite company in the world Revolution Kites, because we don't just
collect the money we live the life. I will have the winners picked by a third party at the New Years Day Fly in San
Diego..... Thanks again to all and Happy New Year and God bless you all...... Ben just a guy who flies kites......

[SkyPuppet]

WOW I see more prizes available then expected!! And double the Rev Bucks!!!!!!

Thanks to Revolution, and all involved, for this contest!

Ben, did anyone submit video that wasn't made public on YouTube or Vimeo? If so, do you think those videos can be shown after the drawing? Being that it was an option for the contest entries, I'm curious.......

[Aleb Unoz]

Wow..!!! Great prizes, Ben... Good luck to the winners...

[beach]

Drum roll please......

1. Tonet pick out your colors for a B-Pro your video was picked....
2. Sky Puppet your video was picked "Race Rods".....
3. Polo your video was picked " No Snag Handles "
4. Tong Yang your video was picked " 90 lb x 120 ft. Laser Pro


With each of these wins you will get a T-Shirt and $50.00 in "Rev Buck" good only at the factory on a (KITE) order from us.


Once again thank you all for playing and in truth there were no winners or losers cause all the video was
great and it was just a pick from a hat cause there was no way to say who's was the best.... Also Joe sorry
but your video did'nt count....... Ben

[tonet]
