PMU 6th Anniversary Video Contest [Ends Novemeber 28th]


Kudos to Sprinko for the links and post

Do you enjoy playing PMU? Would you like to help it grow? Do you like making gameplay videos? Do you want to make a gameplay video? If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then we have a contest that you’ll enjoy participating in!
[hr][/hr]
The premise of this contest is to make a video of PMU. To enter, will record yourself or your friends playing in PMU, and make a movie out of it. Show off all of the fun features that this game has to offer, and make it so any person who watches it would want to join the game.
[hr][/hr]
Cut out and save the best parts, give captions, voices, or music depending on your choice. Do whatever it takes to make your video stand out, just don’t go too crazy and misrepresent the game itself. And of course, keep it PG.
[hr][/hr]
Post the video to Youtube or some other video sharing site, and place the link here. Make sure you tell your in-game name either in the video or in the description to verify your identity as an entrant. The winners will be determined by staff based on how well it advertises the game. A good question to ask yourself is “Do YOU want to join this game after seeing your video?”

If you need screen capture software to record PMU, try FRAPS or Camstudio. Most computers have a Windows Movie Maker to edit the videos with.

Camstudio removed due to their recent virus infested installer :>_<:

I’m looking for a video that highlights the interesting aspect of the game in some way.
You can make

[ul] [li]a trailer with different slides and video clips[/li]
[li]a commentary[/li]
[li]a letsplay of a challenging dungeon while giving points of strategy[/li]
[li]a party with friends with your favorite dungeon[/li]
[li]a mapping how-to[/li]
[li]a skin installation how to[/ul][/li]just to name a few ideas

Overall, I would seek the video that are well organized and clear to the point.
They should catch interest to the viewer.
I would avoid a long intro splash, if it has one.
Audio quality, video quality, the length, and the purpose would be taken into account for each video submitted.

I want to see something outside of the tutorial and destiny dungeon.

I am SO hyped for this i better get started

Ah, good luck mate, but be warned, with me on the competition its gonna be hard ;)

A partner may be included. Be sure to include the credits in your video.
Only a maximum of two people.

How is gonna the videos be judged?

Might participate.

Due to the lack of applicants:
the deadline will be extended to November 28th.

Thank you very much flare.
I think there is lack of contestants because maybe the majority of the PMU players are in School, or Working.
I think until 28 November should be enough.

Yeah, Artmax brought it up ealier.

I also took some research to update the software you can potentially use to capture footage.
Tossed a few ideas on video and what I’ll be looking for when the judging process comes around.

Very helpful, thanks Flare!
