The Due Date is NOW!!! As Soon As Possible. Do not dilly nor dally (or is it dily and daly)... anyway... do not procrastinate. The more submissions I have the better this will be and so far the submissions are perfect. Doesn't need to be fancy, high res or high tech... (of course it can be if you like)... just get something. Turn your phone around (or use the front facing camera) and do a selfie or video-selfie. Seriously do NOT overthink this, just do it.

Thanks everyone who has submitted so far. I really need VIDEO clips too !!! I was initially worried I wasn't going to get any photos with all the easy vid stuff on smarphones, but so far not many vids. Keep the photos coming,but I need videos too. Don't over think this. Here's one I just did. We're looking for QUANtity here. I need LOTS and LOTS of'em but all from different people.

C'mon....surely you spent hours and hours thinking about and planning that video, then rehearsing over and over again til you were completely exhausted and nearly going mad. (At least it kinda LOOKS that way...)

I've only received about 12 submissions so far. Only a few are actual videos. I need at least 20 vid clips if this is going to work as intended. I'm making a cut-off date of December 31st as I will need a few weeks to put it together and was hoping to have it ready by NAMM at the end of January.
Anyway... PLEASE just do a snapchat or selfie clip per the original post and send it up to the address supplied in the instructions and lets make this happen.

Each submision may only be THREE-FIVE SECONDS LENGTH !!! Shorter is better and I suspect most will end up between two and three seconds which is perfect. It can also be a still photo or graphic or just an audio clip as well.
It should say or infer something like "Thank You" or "Welcome Back Ovation" or "Happy 50th Ovation" or "Best Wishes Drum Workshop" or something along those lines.

It's on hold until I come up with a better idea or a better way to explain it, as only a few people submitted anything, and most of those didn't follow the directions. I still might be able to do something, but honestly I was so disappointed I put it aside.

Yep. That sounds like our group. 'Course that's also what makes the gatherings so much fun. It's a double-edged sword for sure but one we carry proudly.

Try 'splainin' it in pictures.
There's a sample/example a few posts up. What more can I do?

Man...I'm so sorry Mr. Ovation! My enthusiasm, just got out-of-hand and two seconds turned into eight! I'll keep the enthusiasm, but get the time under control, and send a new one over. Hopefully, it'll get completed; but if not...no worries! Thanks for making the effort!

No worries. You can resubmit if you want, but I totally expected some to go over and under so what you sent already will be fine. The real issue is that of only 13 submissions, only 4 were even videos. So I have the "b-role" and the intro and filler and even background music... just essentially no content.
