Thread: EB Fan-video Contest!

  1. #1

    Default EB Fan-video Contest!

    Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.

    Today we have a first - an honest to goodness contest for EB fans, with real prizes to be won also. We are, in fact and possibly surprisingly to some out there, just human too: fan videos are something that are especially cool, and while there are a few videos of EB out there on YouTube and similar sites, there has never really been much of a request for them. We hope to change that today.

    We are offering prizes for the best fan created videos that feature Europa Barbarorum. The team will send the winner his or her choice of a hooded EB sweatshirt (you pick the size) or long sleeve shirt, as well as an EB mousepad. You even get to pick which Caratacos or Discoskull unit art image is featured on them also! The runner-up will also get an EB t-shirt with your choice of unit art as well. Here are some examples:

    So what are the rules? The videos should be between 2.5 and 5 minutes in length and must feature scenes from the mod itself. These won't be hosted by EB, they will just be posted by the creators on YouTube or whereever else is easily accessible. We just want to provide a little motivation, but we aren't interested in making them "ours" or anything like that. Other than that, there aren't really any rules about what must be shown, how to do it, what music to use, anything. Again, we don't want any ownership of or responsibility for them, we just want to enjoy them along with the other fans. If you are interested in some inspiration, there are always the absolutely amazing videos made by sin329 of M2TW battles on Youtube, like his Battle of Ravenna or Battle of Crecy as well as his others there. The best ones out there currently for EB are probably those by whitesharkin in his video AAR like this one, his Chapter 3. As you can see, it's always better to be able to crank up the graphics to the highest level possible, and have huge armies. That's just going to be the case no matter what, but we still hope everyone who wants to participate will do so, no matter their systems.

    The deadline for submissions will be two months from today, and then we will probably take at least a week or so to do a thorough vote on them. The results will then be posted here. Enter as often as you like also! There is no rule prohibiting multiple entries here. We will make every effort to get the prizes sent to any international address.

    Good luck and we look forward to seeing the entries!!
    -The Europa Barbarorum Team

    Guess I got my new computer just in time.

    Does anyone know of any good video recording programs that don't stick their logos on your videos? I know FRAPS and GAMECAM do this unless you register.

    Any and all suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    I have never edited a video, nor even tried to do it. But I'll try my hand on this perhaps. I just have to figure out how hard and long it would take.

    How about we don't discuss software piracy on the EB forum.

    I did this awhile ago, so I figure it is still relevant to this contest. It's a mediocre attempt at a video (my first try), but I figure any competition is better than none.

    I suppose this is the place to ask this, I've been playing with the battle replay controls but I can't seem to get them figured out. I figured out how to make the gui go away and move the camera, but I can't seem to figure out how to advance or rewind time. I think there is a way, hitting 'i' brings up the time line and '+' and '-' advances and rewinds it, but there seems to be no way to get that to correspond to the action. Anybody know where I can find a guide to such controls?

    This is the best guide I've found, but it doesn't seem to cover what I perceive are all the features of the replayer:

    It might be lost in the post above, but the winner definitely gets to pick which piece of art goes on the sweatshirt or t-shirt. And which unit on the mousepad you want also.

    Your question was ok. That is why it is still there. Another post was deleted as it was not ok (we don't have the patience to try and figure out for certain whether or not the person was joking or not or whatever; ugh...). Anyway, let's just move on.
