There are many, just hard to find. That's why there are people dedicated to the idea of promoting the activation of such potential. They're known as the Total War Filmmakers. Good job Sonic and Brennus.

EDIT: Do promotional vids count and am I eligible? xD

EDIT #2: Who cares?!

EDIT #3:

It's actually a 2-day draft I turned into YouTube out of pure laziness. There are only 3 weeks till the start of Fall so I don't care. Besides, the players are fixed, they will be the top players of the last tournaments. EB: The Movie is a concept that's been around, but I can't give out information on my rendition of it, or who is working on it. (While we're on the subject, Jirisys, get started on that script and director's notes sheet, as well as some cam paths from the July 2010 replay archive. Thanks.)

EDIT: Download original video here:

Everyone is eligeable.

Here are some preliminary rules:

1. Only use in-game footage from EB. Any footage from other mods or non-ingame graphics are not allowed.
2. Choose whatever music you like, but just remember that not everyone likes the same music so be careful if setting your video to popular music.
3. One video per contender.
4. Voice overs are allowed, however they must be original (no pinching lines from Gladiator or Spartacus). Also if you choose to use your own voice just be careful it sounds professional.
5. Use of either the Pahlava or Epeiros intro videos will result in disqualification.
6. Videos must be no longer than 10 minutes (again be careful, a long video may seem like a good idea but may cause people to lose interest).
7. Have fun!

Contest Ends 1st October.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in this thread so far but I fear this thread is dying.

Several great shots, and I do like the soundtrack.

Anyway, I like the idea of a contest. Should people be allowed to critize one another's video's?

I fear you are jumping to conclusions!

Thank you.

I'm sure that is within the bounds of forum rules, as long as some common etiquette is followed, correct?

I usually am, unless you're specifically asking people to use the RTW movie_cam. If you are, the least you can do is link them to some tutorial vids.

It is; I am just asking if you want special rules for the contest. Not everybody likes to have their work critiqued, and not everybody is good at giving constructive criticism. So: do we allow comments on the quality of video's, and do we want it during the contest or only after?

A question for Brennus indeed. Anyone wanting to send me four letter words can just PM me on here. As for the usual remarks, I get them all the time on YouTube, whether as messages or as comments. So no worries on my end (:
