Eleven video creators are about to have an awesome day...
-
Alexander Porrello
Alright, patience, I get it, but it's an hour after the project deadline.
-
Brett Stewart
After watching all of them, I was really impressed with the Meet Brenden one. Good job to whoever made it.
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Brett Stewart
Results will be posted shortly. We're just confirming the Judges selections now. -
Alexander Porrello
@Brett Stewart
Lolz, same here. "You just checked five seconds ago, don't check for another two minutes... and you're checking again." -
Brett Stewart
@Alexander Porrello
I'm eager too though have it in a tab on my browser. Checking it every 5 minutes or so haha -
-
Brett Stewart
@Alexander Porrello
I'm sure it'll pop up within the hour. -
-
Alexander Porrello
The winners haven't been announced yet!!! How do I see if I've won?
-
Jack Truman
Looking forward to the winners to be announced today...and crossing our fingers!
-
Justin Jung
@Michael Truly
ah ok.. Everyone must have submited last minute haha because there was only 2 submissions a day before =p -
Thomas Morgan
@Alexander Porrello
You won't be disqualified, someone else asked that question earlier in the discussion. -
Alexander Porrello
I just realized my video was 01:01. How much will that :01 seconds make a difference? Could I be disqualified because of it?
-
Michael Truly
@Justin Jung
There's more than 20 videos so the contest doesn't extend. -
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Josh Williams
Yes, after they have been screened. This may take a few hours. -
Josh Williams
Now that the submission phase is closed can we view eachothers entries?
-
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Josh Williams
The file looks fine to me. I'll play around with it and get it uploaded before the deadline. -
Josh Williams
@Caleb Light-Wills
ok you should have the download link now -
Josh Williams
@Caleb Light-Wills
yeah sure thing. I'm sending it now. Thanks -
Caleb Light-Wills
@Josh Williams
I see that, can you send me the original file via sendspace.com (caleb@tongal.com)so I can diagnose the issue? -
Josh Williams
@Josh Williams
It's is a quicktime with an h.264 encode at 1280x720 -
Josh Williams
@Caleb Light-Wills
I'm having trouble uploading. It uploads all the way but I view it, the video stays on one frame and audio is static. -
Jack Truman
Just submitted our Allstate Drivewise commercial. Looking forward to the judges seeing it!
-
-
Thomas Morgan
We may use the device installation project file video in our videos, correct?
-
Jack Truman
looking forward to getting the editing done on this video project! Will be done soon...

-
Caleb Light-Wills
If anyone else has requested but not received a device yet, let me know ASAP.
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Kevin Almodovar
Again, I have no record of you asking for a device. I'll overnight one to you. -
Kevin Almodovar
I sent for the dummy device a week ago and never got it. Do you know if it was sent out?
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Justin Jung
I have no record of this request. Please email samples@tongal.com with your address so that one can be shipped. -
Justin Jung
Hey I ordered the device about a week ago... wen I sent the email I never got a reply. I livein so cal.
-
-
Chris Karges
Hey I was wondering if there was any background music being made available to us for this project?
-
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Josh Williams
You're certainly not required to return them, but if you want to feel free! -
Jasper Lown
Is it alright to use/rephrase the first line of the project overview in the video ("If '10 and 2' and...etc."), or would that be plagiarism?
-
Josh Williams
@Caleb Light-Willis
Should we send back the drive wise devices when we are done with them? -
Aaron Dowell
Ok good, that helps i was thinking it had to be exactly 1 minute.
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Aaron Dowell
It can be anything up to 60 seconds. If you can get the message across quicker, great. Just don't go over 60 seconds. -
Aaron Dowell
does it have to be 60 second's? or just between 30 and 60?
-
Jack Truman
@Caleb Light-Wills
Just saw it and watched it. Thanks Caleb! -
Jack Truman
@Caleb Light-Wills
Caleb, I don't see the project file as a .wmv to view. Looking forward to viewing the file. Please advise. Thanks! -
Caleb Light-Wills
@Jack Truman
Okay the project file has been added. -
Caleb Light-Wills
@Jack Truman
I'll have the file converted into a .wmv which should be available shortly. -
Jack Truman
under the Project Files, the Device Installation video will not play with Windows Media. Are there tech difficulties?
-
-
-
Aaron Dowell
what if your video goes over by 1 second cause of a rendering error? or will that disqaulify you?
-
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Jack Truman
It's completely open as this one's going straight-to-video. -
Jack Truman
This seems like an interesting project! Regarding story concepts: didn't see any requirements. Are ideas open? Or are there required ones?
-
Caleb Light-Wills
Hey everyone, there's a new video asset available in the Project Files of the device being installed. Feel free to use it as you see fit.
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Alexander Porrello
I would try to work around that as I'm not sure what the reports will actually look like. -
Jasper Lown
How long after you receive our info do you expect us to receive our device? I still haven't gotten my DonorsChoose.org gift card, either...
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Josh Williams
Then the submission phase will close and winners will be selected from the submissions that were received. -
Josh Williams
What happens if there aren't 20 submissions and the video reposts for 7 days and there still aren't enough submissions?
-
Caleb Light-Wills
@Eric Jewell
We have a number of deactivated devices for use. To receive one, simply email samples@tongal.com with your name and address. -
Eric Jewell
Would love to have a mock-up of the device. Maybe a small blue translucent lego block with the logo on it?

Rob Johnson
@Miguel López Valdivia
We're working on a way to send you a dummy device you could use as a prop. More to come. -
Rob Johnson
@Charles Lezette
Reports are on the web rather than paper. We periodically send email reminders to check status on the web. -
-
Miguel López Valdivia
I'm wondering if there's anyway I can get the DriveWise device without actually enroll in the program; so I can use it for the video...
-
Charles Lezette
