Final Creativity Challenge (#10: Make a youtube video)

Time to conclude this Olympic event with a difficult and unusual challenge:

Post a video on youtube on anything related to AAM or WAS.

If you can't think of something else, you may want to do a review of the game to advertise it or teach the game to newbies (like the tutorials of Magic the Gathering on youtube), or make a little movie of a battle, or combine it with cinematics from games, or ..., well do something creative anyway.

You have three weeks for this. Until June 15, Sunday night Pacific Time.
Aquarius

Very cool!

Could you by any chance make the deadline 3 weeks, so that we have time to organize it with our gaming groups?

Done.
Aquarius

Thank you.

Quick question: If multiple members of the forum contribute to the same video, can we submit it under all of their names?

Nope. Only the main "director" gets the points. Not the actors.

Who else plans to participate in the final challenge?
Captain Morevo

Can you give us an extra few days?  if you do I can guarantee a submission.

You mean after June 15?
Captain Morevo

Well, yeah, because this next week my playgroup won't be meeting, and only one week to set up a proper vid is nothing, especially when you consider the kind of project we are planning.

yeah, just let this thread stay open, otherwise I dont think we'll ever see a youtube video at all Shocked !!!! And it's very important to get a video on youtube, A&A are almost not even represented on youtube, it would be good PR if we were...
Aquarius

I'm working on it.

So is there any official word on when it is going to end?

Besides today?

I'm trying to figure out how to make the videos look good when I can only take 15 second videos.

I'd say let's wait for you and Captain Morevo to post your work and then it will end.

I have created my first video in .avi format (113 Mb, 1:09 min) for AAM.

I wanted to post it on YouTube, but the process had stopped while "Uploading"; even after six hours it did not finish (on 8Mbit optic cable internet).

Is the file too big? Does anybody know some tricks how to load it properly?

That's 1 min or 1 hour? If 1 min, the file is extremely big. If you use windows, windows movie maker can make it much much smaller by converting it to .wmv format. I'm pretty sure that .wmv can be uploaded to youtube without trouble.

It looks like we will have the final creativity contest after all.

Non-participants in the contest please don't comment on Sindor's movie. Let's first see who else will participate and we will then have our normal poll.
Leader DarkAura_17

Oh so it was you Sindor!!... I saw that video and wanted to know who made it.
Amandil

Please add in visual & sound effects for explosions and stuff, cuz they look cooler than red or yellow face-down markers! Very Happy
Aquarius

Guys, don't comment on the movies yet.

You might give me ideas.

How much longer are we going to go on this?

Until at least one more submits a movie. It's a bit disappointing that we have only one, because many play every week with their friends and could make for example a tutorial video, if they can't or don't want to do something more artistic like Sindor's.
Aquarius

I'm working on it. Half way done, just got the WaS pics last Monday.
NeuralDream

Final deadline for this: Sunday 14 September San Diegan midnight. If no other videos are submitted by then, Sindor wins this event and all 7 points automatically Smile.
NeuralDream

Last reminder before Sunday's deadline.
Aquarius

I finished it!

Will upload it to Youtube tomorrow, it's almost midnight here.

I never read this topic until today, but I'm already excited.

The reason I'm not embedding it is because it looks *&%^&& when it plays at normal quality. Click on the link, and then click on the "View in High Quality" button (shown below)

Aquarius

I would also like to state that Youtube sucks for cutting off the perfect ending of my video.

You may all take your shots at our videos now.

Thank you.
NeuralDream

Thanks guys. No more entries. Voting begins now (in the other thread).
