Video Contest: 20,000 PED in Prizes!

[SammySosa]

woot! what a great initial response..

I will post about the entropiablogger thing tomorrow..

Please be sure to let us know what you mean by watermarking them with EntropiaBlogger.com =)

Also - $1,000 for making a movie could be considered income - so we need to know if we have to contact artists/record labels for permission to use their copyrighted music for monetary gain.

Can't wait to see how this turns out!!

-oh and obvious to me - but just clarifying - you can't reuse videos already made, correct ?

YM,

It needs to have the words 'EntropiaBlogger.com' throughout the video... kinda like in the background, transparent, whatever. It's like when you don't have the Fraps software purchased but you use it, it includes a watermark on your videos that shows fraps.com or something like that.

[SammySosa]

Yeah sorry, my math is fuzzy.. It will be 20k total, we'll just have 1-2 more places @ 500ped.

Yes, the watermarking needs to be visible throughout the video, also make sure to keep the raw footage incase I need it.


Here's the plan:

Player Videos
|
|
Submitted to Youtube/Veoh, etc
|
|
Interested people are referred to website and read blogs, money made, money lost etc.. |
|
Interested people will download the game :P



I think the biggest problem with EU is that people don't understand it, and Mindark doesn't really help that much. I hope this will help that.

Thanks SnapNet - good thing you answered one of my questions.

I'm a little weary of this competition being held by a player who is so obviously driven by money - but I may give it a go anyhow.

For the watermark - I'm assuming you could just use a text on the top of the screen for the whole movie - like so.

Also - do the songs used - if people do use songs in their movies - do they need to be copyright free songs? As previously stated, $1,000 can be considered income - so I'm not sure the procedure when using someone's copyrighted art for personal monetary gain. Some pretty important details - I would say.

Would appreciate your attention to these details - if you give them any.

One last thing .. EntropiaBlogger - is just you that blogs ?

My plan is to let others do the blogging. That will be part of the other competition.

Anyway, about the song choice.. Thats up to you. I really don't see much of a problem with it.
