New VCAM: HP Wireless Printing

Hi moosh,

It's unlocked now! All of the submissions (locked and unlocked) have been screened and are being reviewed.

Please hang tight for the results!

Thanks!

Hi eradek,

Please bear with us while we screen these submissions. They have to go through a round of approvals before we post them live. Your VCAM is at the top of today's queue.

Thanks!
david.

Thanks David! I don't think there's anything subversive in our ad, so it should pass just fine...

Great -- thanks! We just need the official greenlight from HP before we post. It should be soon!

hi jumpyjack,

this is definitely not how this works. thanks for letting us know. we'll handle it!

a HUGE thank you!
david.

Jumpyjack, you misunderstand. Tania is not with HP, she is with Current. Darrell works for Current also, and was simply telling me that Current was watching my upload, because I have a relationship with them. I assume Current picks what's best and then HP picks from there. Everyone has a fair and equal shot. You might consider sending a message next time you are confused, rather than freaking out and posting stuff and freaking other people out. I uploaded 5 Vcams and only one is viewable and that took DAYS.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks -- HP ultimately decides which ads they want.

SelmA, your VCAMs are in review. We're going to be cranking through the weekend to screen them all!

heyhey!

if you can add "HP VCAM" as a suggested topic.. we should be able to find it. It's important to make sure that you label it as a VCAM though.

Let us know!

thanks, david

heyhey! you should be good to go :)

Thanks!

thank you :)

Hey qutai,

Yeah, it originally was 25 seconds, but we've added a 5 second end tag. so we're asking producers to attach it to their creative, which is why the time restriction is 30 seconds.

Yes, there are some ads that went over the 30 second mark. If these ads are chosen, we will work with the producer to edit it down to 30 seconds. This could either mean a re-shoot or a re-edit.

Rule of thumb though.. try to keep your VCAM at 30 seconds. It'll save you and us alot of time in the long run.

I hope that answers your question.

David.

Thank you :)

Hey born2bounce,

There are no age limits.. except.. if you are a minor, make sure you have your parents' permission. This applies to all crew members, actors, and producers.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
david.

Hey motomaxx,

I took care of it :) If anyone else has that problem, just comment here or contact me directly, dnguyen@currentmedia.com.

We'll review your submission and hopefully we'll post it live in the next 72 hours!

Thanks Dave O!

Dave N :P

Hi patballosu,

You can do either :) Hope that helps! Did you go/Are you going to OSU?

-david.

Yep, I go to OSU, and am the Campus Outreach Rep for Current on the campus. This is the Oklahoma State OSU though to be clear.

Hey Goldentree,

DV-format is a-okay. If you're VCAM is chosen, we'll ask you to submit a DV-NTSC export of the submission.

We will accept HD, but just know that we'll convert it to DV-NTSC.

I hope that helps!
david.

Hey qutai,

Absolutely! Feel free to submit as many as you'd like.

Thanks!
David

Hey dylmister234,
Yep! Just make sure that the viewer can't easily mistake it for a commercial for the laptop. For example, no full-frame shots of the laptop and it shouldn't be the main focus.

Hope that helps!
david.

hey WOOMZA,

which one is blank?

Thanks,
david

Hey Raul,

Can you check it now?

Thanks!
david.

David,

Now it works. Thanks... time to get to work on this...

hey there! while it would be ideal if you were using a wireless printer.. you don't necessarily have to have one. feel free to simulate wireless printing on another printer, but be vague about it. Make the printer look as generic as possible - cover up logos (unless it's HP) and don't show the entire printer (you wouldn't want to confuse the consumer).

thanks!
