why 55 seconds? that seems rather arbitrary

While not being a member of FLAK at the time of the first 55 second videos...I beleive the idea was to get 55, 55 second videos...each video with a 5 second intro would make it an even 1 minute and give an opportunity for many different views as opposed to only a few, keep the viewer interested, and take up about an hour of time.

Good question though, Thanks.

Will we be expecting one from you?

puddles-

I know you have some strong connections to detroit. You should do it, even if it only consists of some slides and a voiceover. We want to know what's in your head and not how talented a videographer you are.

Are you in?

I'll give you 55 seconds to make a decision...and then...well, you know how it works...

flak_dtrt,
I am curious as to why you don't have your website updated? I went to your website to get information and the last news post is from 2006...are you still holding this competition?
