Promotional Video Contest!

Even seen a clip from Bungie promoting their new game that just made you go “wow”? Here’s your chance to make your own video promoting one of Bungie’s games and make them go “wow.”*

Using footage from any of Bungie’s games, from Gnop! to Halo 3, make a 1:30 (max) video promoting that game, or you can sling them all into one video and make a promotion for Bungie Studios, or you film one yourself using legos! The point is, "Be creative". Then post your video on Youtube.com (among others) and post the link here. The contest will go through seven^ rounds of elimination before declaring a victor. Below are the specifications.

If your video does not reach these specs. It may not be accepted.

-The Video-
* Must be Bungie related
* Must contain the Bungie logo at some point
* Must be no longer than 1:30
* Must be your own creation
* Creativity is a big plus

There is no limit to the number of videos you can enter.

-Hosting-
* List of accepted hosting sites:
* Youtube
* Mythica
* Putfile
* Google video
* A link to your video and a short explanation must be posted clearly in this thread.
* The short explanation is not necessary, but it wont hurt.
* To ensure that the video you are entering is yours please tag your Youtube video with the following: "Bungie" "Promotional" "Contest" "<Your Bungie screen-name>"

-Links to helpful items-

This contest will be open for three weeks, from August 8th to August 29th

Below is the amount the winners will have for the shopping spree (American):

The judges for this contest are:

You can enter as many videos as you like.

Do I have to use cutscenes or can I make my own?

By all means you are not restricted to cutscenes, do whatever you feel would make a good promo so long as its Bungie related.

how do we submit our videos for your contest? Do we post them in that thread or should I email them to you?

You just post the link right here in this thread, make them easy to recognize though, add a Bold statement saying "Contest Entire" or something so that I don't mistakenly skip over your video.

Haha, I like that song by Coldplay and the video's not bad but like you said, editing needs to be done. This contest is very unique and whoever's most creative and original will walk away from this contest 50$ richer.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

To be honest, I *totally* loved the video up until you gave your gamertag. Great video, though. Just wish you had saved the gamertag until it was over :(

I was wondering if I could also use fottage from the Bungie video update. It would seem more like a promotion for the company insted of a game though.

With that said...
Here are my videos. I'll keep updating them. I'll add captions or adjetives about the feel of the video.
Video one. -Fun, friends, memories.
Video two. -It makes you think fast and anxious.
Video three. -I don't think I can really think of a description of this one.
Yes, a fourth. -Video four brings out the silly and fun feelings.
And then there where five. -This was supposed to be dramatic and serious. Well, it didn't turn out that was in some parts.
And six. -This brings the feeling of sadness.
And our lucky number seven. -This one is more of a disstress call from Cortana. And I want it to make you think.
The words:
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.Accaully means something important outside the Halo universe.
One day there will be no sadness, anger, or envy.
And I think that those words can bring hope to people today.
Number eight!
You guys are going to kill me for this one. Number nine.
It's truly unique.

Video two.


I enjoyed the first one. It taught me that Frankie is much more dangerous than I could have ever though.

The second one needs a much slower song.

Okay now, i looked at the rules but i see nothing about this, before i start making something i want to know, there are no specifications on wether this can be a fictional peice of work say, a promo for a ficitonal game or fictional movie, related to bungie or halo or whatever. does this have to be promoting an actual bungie product or bungie itself?

And I uninstalled Movie Maker. It was causing problems.
