Bounty eight · @leoxcrane

Date, town, noon and free are readable in the first second without sound.

What this entry didMeasured: 87.1 seconds, 1080x1920, h264. A LIVE ON STAR 97.7 tag and the festival facts are on screen in the first frame, a clean lineup card names the acts as the lineup page spells them, and it ends on zaostock.com. The speech is the session's own, transcribed and matched on 5 Oct, and you posted it in a public Farcaster cast with a Dropbox file link anyone can open.

To win the next one

Open on a better shot

The first frames look up at the ceiling from under the chin. The opening second is the one that decides whether anyone keeps watching; start on the studio wide or on the facts card instead.

Hold the last card longer

The final card with zaostock.com is on screen for about three seconds. Someone who wants to type the address needs five or more.

One line repeats

The transcript has 'ZAOstock is coming' twice near the start. Cut one and the opening tightens.

Next: the recap round

Closes 5pm Eastern, Sunday 11 October

One vertical recap of ZAOstock itself, 90 seconds or under, cut from the six public stream recordings of the day, with the acts' own music and every act you show named as zaostock.com/artists spells it.

It goes live when Zaal casts it, and the board at https://poidhz.com lists it within the hour. Download the recordings early: Twitch keeps them about a week.

What bounty eight was judged on

Vertical, 1080x1920, 90 seconds or under, a video file that posts to Instagram with no further editing.

Star 97.7 named on screen in text, long enough to read, because a reel plays muted first.

ZAOstock, Saturday October 3 and Ellsworth Maine readable early, and the last frame showing zaostock.com long enough to type.

Captions burned in, word for word, and the session's own voices with no library music over speech.

One idea carried through, rather than six minutes squeezed into ninety seconds, with the hosts vouching for the day.
