Yes. We just decided to submit today, and finished our video about 7 minutes before the deadline.

I find making videos brutal! We get so focused on not screwing it up that we screw it up!
collint
did you watch the samples? They seemed pretty low key
somecola
Yeah, I would say our vid is low key :)

Just decided to apply 40 minutes ago. Submitted with 2 minutes to spare. Liberating to not over think it. Good practice in any case.

Submitted our app. Hope they look at our demo more than our video, lol. We're not telegenic people.

Submitted and hoping for the best!

Would submitting at 8:01 mark the application as late?
aerosmile
Not sure. We submitted before 8, but the resubmit link was available well past 8 (and still is now 2 hours later). I guess the safest approach would be not to touch the application after the deadline, but if something's missing in there, it might be worth the risk.

Yep. Two weeks ago. Had a great time making the video.

Yep submitted the final version today and saved a copy to google docs for reference.

Sure did. Got ours in a couple of days ago. So excited! And I agree, our video could have been so much better. There are three of us and unfortunately we couldn't be together for the filming, which makes it look even funkier.

Submitted early yesterday, after revising it in a Google Doc for a while. Then spent the last day continuing to work on our web app. This is going to happen; whether YC is a part of it is now out of our hands.

Submitted a few days ago, video took way to long to make! My co-founders and I are all in different locations across the world so we had to use a screen recorder to capture a Google+ Hangout lol

Just got mine in today. Had a crazy problem with submitting the video, hope we made the deadline. Just glad I finally found the stones to actually apply.

Submitted ours last week. Thought we'd make changes but guess it's perfect now :)

I'm curious to know how many are one-person founders.
aDemoUzer
Submitted as a lone founder with no-idea - I probably have like 2.3% chance :p
jerryji
Why did so many people submit literally at the last minute? Did you choose to do so or was forced?
brianmac
Yup! Was a great process trying to cut the thing down (easy when your excited to blabber on). Also died laughing making the video. See what happens next, "IF YOUR GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO..."

Submitted :) As someone mentioned on this thread. It definitely helped us think through our idea and communicate it in a concise manner. The biggest take-away for us was : Simplify + Simplify + Simplify = Amplify
