Battle of the Flower Designers- March Madness Tournament 2010

Adam,
All right, I've made my arrangement, My flip video arrived, I made my video, I registered for a youtube site, I will include the video on my facebook page, my blog and of course, youtube, now what do I do next? Oh, I just got a PM I will invite Adam to youtube.

I am feeling really proud of myself, given I just had my 65th birthday, I've had a lot of firsts this week, my first competition, my first video, my first foray into youtube, I feel I'v accomplished alot even if I am eliminated in the first round. Simon please be nice.
I'm proud of you too! I love people who get things down on such short notice! way to be a go getter!

If you want for now, when you upload your video, make it "private", until we are ready to "share with the world". Don't post your videos to facebook just yet. Just let them know, video coming soon!

I will be around this weekend and will be checking PM's if you have any more questions :)
 
Ummmmm...........PLEASE POST YOUTUBE LINKS in this thread ya'll. Otherwise, Carol and I don't know where all to look.

Don't worry Ricky, I will absolutely take care of that for you :) I will be in touch with you and Carol early next week to go over some things. Voting for public starts March 12-20th, which will give you guys plenty of time to view and discuss designs. Your decision wont be due until March 22nd

The videos are not live yet. I will be sure to embedd videos on here and blog for you to view.
 
Ricky, I will also have videos lined up against each other on my blog to make it easy to view side by side.

This is a small wedding we did this weekend and I made a couple videos of making the bouquets, and delivering the finished product.

This just gives you an example of how it will be really easy for you and Carol and others to view the entries side by side...hope this helps....

Here is the Blog example of videos side by side- ( if you play both at once, you will need to either mute one of the songs or both, unless you like 2 songs playing together LOL

Update, I believe 5 of the 8 florists videos are done and ready for youtube. Still waiting to hear from Mums and More, Twigs, And Avante Gardens. When you finish, give me a heads up.


GL!

If any other florists tried making the recipe and want to enter a picture or video just for fun, please feel free to do so...thx
 
My office PC CRASHED and is now dead while editing in Windows Movie Maker tonight. It's completely down. Will try to edit at home but my still shots are in that machine, as is my music.

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh.


Aaaaaaargh - me too, only it's my home laptop, the one I do ALL of my site design, marketing, etc. Was supposed to e-mail an image last night for a deadline today.......guess I'll go take a frikkin' picture provided my camera still works. Crap!
 
I got to rework my video and reedit to add some effects to it and crop it...i am real happy with it for my first video...I already asked my husband if we could make some room in the budget for a flip, but with symposium coming to town this year, I don't think it is in the cards for me...but my camera works ok...

Great experience...great exposure, getting good PR..my chamber of commerce is behind me to promote this...life right now is great..I couldn't be happier...
 
Not sure if this has already been discussed. But since I couldn't commit myself to participate in this, I would still like to contribute in some way..

What if I made a certificate in the winner's name, and mailed it when it's done?

I could somehow incorporate the name of this competition.. and include some other information

Ex:
FlowerChat
Battle of the Flower Designers
March Madness Tournament 2010
The winner's name, and shop name

I guess a signature would be optional, it could be one (or more) of the admins, the judges (RWK...)

Let me know what you think!

In the meantime you can check out the other videos on my blog.
