Has Gnome even been on for the past two weeks?

His last login was on 8/27... so, um, no. :/

If I could think of something, I would, but all my thoughts right now quickly turn to mesoscale meteorology and the phased-array radar system.....

Who exactly is the money comming from? If it's someone that is still active, why not just bypass Gnome completely. I'd volunteer to update the list and we can assign new impartial judges in these guys' stead.

ok, Looks like there's only one judge left (has any one heard from spartakus14?), Butane is busy... and thats alot of videos to watch. contestants doubling as judges isn't really a good idea either, because everyone want's there video to win, in point of fact, when contestants watch other participants videos, they sum up their video to the others. all I can think of is, we either can wait untill butane isn't too busy, or have Senor Leche pick his top three. because right now we only have one unbiased, unafficial judge with the time (impurity). This contest is run by the fans, so maybe we can have a poll on how this gets judged. just suggestions...either way this has to get judged somehow.

I thought he said he was "too in love" with a certain member's videos that he could not judge them all.

The money is coming from Senor Leche, Spoon. I PM'd him asking about it and he is still able to give out prize money.

Too bad they don't sell internet at the Bungie Store, Gnome could enter the contest.

Just have the last judge pick... I just wanna know who won...

This is taking forever.

  • 09.12.2006 1:42 PM PDT

I am going to now attempt to make an updated list. Check back in an hour or so and see if I did it right.

  • 09.12.2006 1:49 PM PDT

Ok, there are way too many characters in the final list to post in one go so I've split it up into a couple to accomodate everyone. You will need to SELF REGULATE the integrity of your posts. I can't really see straight anymore after that coding session so if I spelled something wrong or linked you to the wrong video, TELL ME ASAP so I can fix it.

Wow! Good job with all that work. We are all a step closer to the contest results thanks to you. I'll be watching the promos I've missed now, and see what I like best.

Ok, fixed the links to those that people PMed me about. Let me know if anything else needs to be changed. Good luck everyone.

I wonder if I'll get bonus points on my entries for updating the list?...

Hey Spoon awesome job... but you missed on of mine... [url]http://useruploads.mythica.org/view/Halo_3_Promo.mov[/ur l]

This was my first video so if you could add it to the list, that would be great!

EDIT: Also I want to make a note that my 3rd video does not work when you stream... so you have to download the file to watch it. So whoever is judging please don't think the file doesn't work... just download the file instead. Thanks!

And one other thing is once its downloaded... resize the window so the resolution isn't 640x320... cause the video looks like crap when its at such a big resolution... make it about half the size.

Alright, So I watched all the films on spoongaurd's list. There is some good talent out there, but just some general critiques for future video competitions...though, who am I to be a critic?

1- Its better to focus your time and efforts on one film rather than many (hard to do when you have lots of good ideas floating in your head, but even harder on judges/viewers).
2- keep file sizes small, approx. 5 mb is fine (I made this mistake! makes it hard to judge/watch)
3- first ten seconds is critical to grab someones attention (I was oh so tempted to just skip films that started just like the the last 10 I watched)
4- Creative and original is a huge plus (I would immediately put videos with new content in my good list!)
5- Keeping video tempo and beat timed with music is an effective way to compose the video (Some of you are great at this)
6- Im a fan of videos that use a mix of very quick clips to emphasise certain moments in the video (more of a personal preference, others will disagree)
7- If you don't have 1:30 of video, don't throw more clips in just to make the full 1:30. More is not always better.

And thats all I have to say about that.

Good luck to all the contestants, and good luck to the judges. Hope its working out for you guys. I had fun making my video!

Good call captain,

I feel pretty much the same way, especially when it comes to that first 10-second hook.

Still hoping Gnome will magically show back up any day now...

One issue I just noticed, both the links under my name go to the same video. For video #2, if you could replace the link with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISqptLM0J14 that'd be great. Other than that, good work, man!

  • 09.16.2006 11:25 AM PDT

Speed, fixed that little issue. Everyone please check your own links to make sure they work.
