A little less than five hours to sign up! Please come sign up for Festivids - it's such a great exchange and the community is very encouraging and welcoming. If you want to learn DaVinci Resolve and make your first vid, I will personally teach you. :)

The Festivids Buddies form opens up after vid assignments go out (so we can be sure we don't assign you to your recipient), but knowing the system is there can be helpful while you're signing up!

More details on dw festivids.dreamwidth.org/159717.html or tumblr www.tumblr.com/festivids/79...

There are so many excellent sources nominated I have no idea how I'm going to narrow it down to just ten requests...!(Especially since all my 10 were approved. Help.)
