Final event

Submit a video to show your result. The WeTransfer limit is 2 GB for a folder of files. Technically, you can submit many things, but we only have time from Oct 1st, 23:59 Hawaii time (aka the strict deadline ) until October 5th, 16:00 CEST (aka the final event) to evaluate your submission. This also means that we will probably only have time to look at the first 5 minutes of your video.
