The EB Film Contest (eat your heart out Cannes)

[vartan]

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

I fear you are jumping to conclusions!

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?

Thank you.

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

I hope your right.

[vartan]

I hope your right.

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.

Thanks vartan.
I was about to ask some tips how to make videos in RTW and the next thing I see is your post here.

Always one step ahead of you, my same-wavelength EB Online Jury Cleric! Ahahaah.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Armed with these tutorial videos I might even try to make an EB movie.

[Brennus]

I might even be tempted (don't worry I wont enter, just always wanted to make one).

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 (:

Did altered unit numbers in EDU allowable?

such as putting 240 Thorakitai Argyraspidai against 240 gaesatae for massive effect....

[Brennus]

RE Ludens, I don't really think there is anyway of preventing criticism is there? I will re-draw the rules and add a note asking people to be constructive if they must criticise. Also no faction biased posts. For example if people post videos showing Roman victories no criticising purely because people like the Sweboz and vice versa for videos showing "barbarian" victories, comments must be purely based on the videos creative aspects not it's political leanings. How does that sound?

RE Cute_Wolf, there will be no limit on unit sizes. Now this might be viewed as unfair to people whose computers cannot handle large numbers of units but large unit sizes are not neccesserilly (I can't spell) a good thing. Due to the nature of the "clone armies" sometime huge numbers of identical units can appear quite dull and detract from the atmosphere of the battle (IMO). What do you think?

Link to a dictionary definition of 'critique'.

[vartan]

What's wrong with sticking to the original MP EDU Cute Wolf? Or do you feel you need to compromise for the lack of something? (:

Haha, typical ASM. Just for kicks, your link doesn't work.

[Brennus]

Come on everyone let's show abit of enthusiasm! Last time there was a screenshot competition there was a flood of entries.

Can anyone think of a good reward for the winner? There's the obvious balloon but thaty seems a bit of an anti-climax for people who have gone to the effort of producing a video.

now, if a story begins with small group of cretan archers are being pursued by massive horde of Gaesatae, want to **** their ***...
