WIN all of our sample libraries! RESCORE/REMIX challenge.

It was a bit touch-and-go with regards to finding the time to work on the revisions on my entry. I got started quite early on the project, but then life got in the way until today, when I was able to open it up and put some finishing touches before uploading with minutes to spare. I had ideas for a few of the B-roll cutaways that I wasn't able to execute on -- but quite honestly, I'm happy that I was able to tidy up the project and get it uploaded on deadline!

Hope to listen to others' entries, and wish everyone the best of luck to everyone!

Here's my entry:

I have no idea why Youtube doesn't show my contest entry video in searches (at least not to me) although I've put the given text in the video description and added the provided tags.
Anybody else here having such issues?

Youtube doesn't immediately make all the hashtags available in the global search. I've seen it take some hours before your work is included in global hashtag search. I think the longest I've seen it take is about 6 hours in the past. However, I'm not really an authority on it, nor have any actual insight on the inner workings of their search engine. I suspect that as you upload new content, once you save, a message is sent in their back-end systems with the data to be indexed by whatever system is powering their site search. That would typically be different from the primary database where your actual video metadata is stored. That's just my $0.02

For your first time scoring to film..this is very, very good (really!). You have a strong, musical instinct and ability to match to story (a rare quality). You “hold back” perfectly…letting your score open only when the visual invites. Good luck in the scoring challenge! I trust others will see/hear your talent too! (Now get back to eating sushi and drinking coffee…you deserve it).

FYI, YouTube does not show all entries by default when you enter the hashtag. You have to force it to "search only for #novellaoriginrescore" or "search only for #novellaoriginremix" by clicking on the option after the initial search (at the top of the page).

Here's what YouTube shows before I click on that option, and after I click on that option. I couldn't find my entry either as only 4 results are shown if I don't force YouTube to search only for the respective hashtag (all 17 entries are displayed then).

In case people missed it, the winners have been announced here:



Looks like some of us missed the memo saying you had to use loops from sample packs to have a chance at winning the remix contest

Congratulations to the winners!
