Four Monday galleries
I have four photo galleries for you today — two updated, and two all-new. I’ve got some reshooting to do for a few of the photos, so look for at an update later in the day (weather permitting). Here’s what’s on the menu today:

Attention Filmmakers: Who Wants To Go To Sundance?
Project: Direct, YouTube’s annual short film competition, is back to offer another talented filmmaker a chance to be discovered! This year we’ve partnered with AOL Moviefone and The Sundance Film Festival to bring you this challenge: direct an original short film incorporating three specific props. One must be a red phone and the other two must be chosen from a list of 25 props that have played stand-out roles in some of the most memorable films to emerge from the Sundance Film Festival over the past 25 years. To choose your props, visit www.youtube.com/projectdirect. Submissions open on November 16 and close at 9PM PST on December 14. A panel of Sundance Film Festival executives will review your film and whittle the competition down to 10 semi-finalists. Then, on December 27, the YouTube community will start voting for the winning film. If you win, you’ll be off to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where you’ll meet with the Festival’s Director of Programming and screen your film at a festival event. The top three films will also take home cash prizes and be distributed on DVD to industry executives at the Festival. While the competition proper is only officially open to entrants in the US, Canada, Brazil, UK, Spain, Italy and France, everyone is welcome to submit and we will feature top films on the YouTube site. Need some inspiration to get started? Check out last year’s three finalists: Visit the Project: Direct channel to learn more, and take advantage of a rare opportunity to introduce your work to both a global audience and key industry executives. Good luck, Sara P. YouTube Film

Flagging at YouTube: The Basics
The YouTube flagging system works best when you take the time to understand our Community Guidelines before you flag a video. Then, if you come across a video that you think may not belong on YouTube, it will be easier for you to let us know the reason you flagged it, whether it be for hate speech, nudity, violence, or another Guideline violation. Once a video is flagged, we review it quickly, and if we find that it shouldn’t be on YouTube, we remove it within hours. It’s as easy as that. Lots of users ask us questions about flagging. Whether you’re brand new to the Community Guidelines or looking to get a flagging refresher, check out this new video to get a closer look at how it works. The next time you come across inappropriate content on the site, flag it!We’re counting on you. The YouTube Team

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 bonus photo gallery posted
I’ve got a bonus photo gallery from a production-level Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 Micro FourThirds camera for you today. All of the photos were taken at the new California Academy of Sciences, so check’em out! Look for the standard photo gallery (for the G1 and more) in the next week or so.

Olympus announces E-30 digital SLR
This may not be news to everyone, but today Olympus announced their new E-30 digital SLR. This camera comes in-between the E-520 and the flagship E-3, though its feature set and price lean more toward the latter. Here are all the details:

New, higher quality photo galleries
DCRP readers have been clamoring for better-looking thumbnails in our photo galleries for years. I’ve finally come up with a way to provide better quality thumbnails, and you can see the results in our newly updated Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 galleries (standard, bonus). For a quick look at the improvements, check this out: before and after. Sorry it took so long!
