Hay guys
Me and some other council members have agreed it would be a good idea to start the new year off with a contest to help keep the forums a little active. I will admit the rewards are offal but if we can actually get this contest off the ground I promise the next one will have better ones.
“Contest”
to enter you must first make a Waypoint account.
then a youtube account.
which to do that you need a email.
I suggest Gmail.
Now what you must do is create a AMV or machinama or informational video using halo wars. Once made you can upload it to youtube and link it here
I will be judging your vid by these 5 things
AMV
Song Timing
Game timing
Quality
Speed
likes (is only gives you 2 points so dont worry if you cant get any)
Machinama
sound
characters
plot
quality
likes
informational video
Information
helpfulness
speaking
Quality
likes
You can choose between any of them but only one entry per contestant.
You can get a max of 42 points
Rewards
First prize:Is 1600 Microsoft points (thanks to “i run wars ftw”)
Second prize:Is a 2 day gold card membership
Third place:a female master chief avatar armor
you have entail February 29st to enter
enjoy the contest and if you have any questions feels free to ask.
TIPS
A Good way to make these videos is simple
for a music video I suggest just picking a song. and looking for a place to download some cut scenes
this way you do not need a video recorder and windows movie maker cna be used in seconds
You dont need a lot for a informational vidio
just pictures so people know what your talking about and actually knowing wtf your talking about + windows movie maker.
Machinama is the only one which you can do like this but still for those who cant use a video capture you can still do it the other 2 and make them really good.
I hope this helps in some little way so every one can join in.
Count down (may be extended if not many enter) CONTEST OVER
> > You can pick between a female avatar MC armor or a 2 day gold membership guard for a reward
>
> Those rewards are “offal”
well you dont half to make gold
and as I said
if we can actually get this contest up a little by a few people then the next one will be like 800 or even 1600 microsoft points or even something better
so Im sorry if all I had is a horrible reward but this is the first contest made and if we can get even 2 people to enter with something decant ill take the money out of my pocket and maybe buy them something better. Maybe a game? maybe a head set. who knows
But I promise the prises will get better.
> I don’t have a capture card, then again I’m the head chief so I shouldn’t be participating in heh. But only one judge or multi-judge?
not really
I mean. you could just download some of the cutscenes and use windows movie maker to edit them. Sure its easy but never did I say you need art to enter.
and I think it be best for 1 judge but if you want we could both be the judges.
I mean this would make getter all the points a little trickier
I added tips so those with out video recording ability’s can still enter.
I want EVERY ONE to enter.
you dont need video capture tech
all you need is a mic
pictures or downloaded footage
and windows movie maker or better
there is no reason to not enter
