About 60 total cards. I ran out several large "Sharpies" writing the cards.
Dropping them on queue proved to be quite a trick... I used some special effects in the process (well, obviously the green screen) to make it a little easier.
hey dave I really like this film. question I have the bd 7ha too, have you had any luck importing blu ray footage then converting it for editing without burning first?
I always copied over the m2ts files from the BD on this camcorder. For simple stuff, I used them in my editor (Sony Vegas) directly.. no problems. For complex stuff like this, I usually converted to MPEG-2 or even lossless... some of the initial greeenscreen composites on this video took 3+ hours to render on a Quad core CPU. Of course, I did it all in HD... kind of silly, but I did.
Incidently, I sold that camcorder awhile ago, replaced it with a Sanyo Xacti FH1.. just the thing for fast editing. Nearly pocket sized, also MPEG-4 (though "raw" MP4/AVC/AAC, not the more standardized AVCHD). But much better in low light.. though I never had a problem with Hitachi with enough light, it wasn't great in the dark, and I shoot quite a few shows (plays, musicals, rock shows, etc).
I also have two HDV camcorders, which are fine for serious shooting, but a bit tedious.

Thanks. I discovered, from the first contest video, that such contests were looking for exactly that -- an ad. So I did one.. and hey, it worked!
