I just don't use up film fast enough to enter this competition...
Maybe I can get a decent quality shot out of a webcam... hmm, time for some experimentation.

I know what you mean! We originally thought of running it weekly but realised that people just don't take enough pictures these days to complete a film in time!

Most web cams can produce a decent image. And the price of them has come down somewhat, starting now at around £50.

They're a good thing.
There wasn't much use for them really until recently. You could set them up to take a snap every so often and upload the pic to a website, but that was about it.
Recently however Yahoo! Messanger has incorporated a webcam feature, allowing almost streaming video with chat. A very good thing.

They're not the only ones who've got that - I think MSN Messenger lets you do that too. It would be much more enticing to me when I get flat-rate internet access though. There are disadvantages to an ntl: line when they won't send an ntl:world CD, it seems.
