[Ideas] Official Cinematic Contest

[PurgeandFire]

So I need to have a final word to what the theme will be.

So far, probably the leading one is to create a music video.

Discuss your thoughts on what you want the cinematic contest to be about, even if vague or extremely specific.

Sorry for the long wait, in 3-5 days the contest will be posted.

 

[frostwhisper]

Music video all the way.

 

[Dakho]

a). Music Video

b). Saddest Video

 

[Just_Spectating]

Also the RolePlaying cinematic.

 

[Thrikodius]

Music video. Anything else would work too but I want the music videos.

 

[Mechmap]

1. Music
2. Else

Story about an emo kid

No .

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Why not? I don't think it has been done before
But seriously.. A music video with would be nice

 

[PurgeandFire]

Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it makes it a good theme.

If we do emo kid we might as well just make a cinematic about a sweet 16 birthday party.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Bump. I'll post it in like a few more days. Sorry for the wait, family visit.

 

[matyko]

Music Video, or something EPIC, in my opinion

 

[frostwhisper]

We require a competition, Purge.

 

[frostwhisper]

Bumpedy. Purge? Ya back or what?

I CALL DROOD!!!

Lol, music video for me.

 

[frostwhisper]

Lawl muzix fur meh tew, but Purge has totally disappeared... :\

 

[Thrikodius]

Couldn't we ask another mod to host the contest?

 

[Gausslander]

I've been thinking about a music video for a long time.

so yeah, that'll be fine.

 

[frostwhisper]

It won't be bloody fine cause none of them will pay attention to this thread. None of them! None! Not for more than one and a half fucking months!

 

[Gausslander]

no shit? tell them there's free rep and pie.

 

[Thrikodius]

It won't be bloody fine cause none of them will pay attention to this thread. None of them! None! Not for more than one and a half fucking months!

Then maybe we should be patient and wait one and a half fucking months. I've got other things to do so I'm not in a hurry.

 

[slawter]

why not make a cinematic on anything, that way anyone could enter the contest because they could do anything (except things that conflict with THW rules)

and it would be interesting to see peoples ideas. if i could do cinematics (and had the patience) i would do my dreams (very very wierd)

 

[Mechmap]

Ok, where the hell is Purge?!

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Send him some angry email and hope that he notices it?

 

[Mechmap]

Right away sire!

 

[Thrikodius]

It seems we'll have to wait. But what's the rush? I waited for the Hero Contest since November 2007 and it started Mars 2008. Really, what could be worse?

 

[frostwhisper]

Mars 2008.

Wait, wat?

 

[slawter]

lol...i sense a bit of mixed language in that post

 

[Just_Spectating]

Mars 2008, so 4 months ago.

 

[Thrikodius]

I waited for the Hero Contest since November 2007 and it started Mars 2008.

I mean THW Hero Contest #1. I waited for that one to start in almost 5 months. So I guess I'm used to waiting.

 

[frostwhisper]

Still there's March, the month, and Mars, the planet.

 

[Thrikodius]

O crap I forgot. Mars is the name of both the planet and the month in swedish. Sorry March 2008.

 

[frostwhisper]

lol...

 

[Just_Spectating]

this time, PurgeandFire111 died.

 

[Thrikodius]

Couldn't we hold some kinda [Inofficial] Cinematic Contest #1.5 or something till Purge get's back? 100% poll judging and the winner gets +repped by all contestants...

 

[Mechmap]

Guess we could convince some admin to start mini-cinematic contest 3 while we wait for the official one. Purge hasnt even answered my pm so i guess hes pretty dead at the moment.

 

[CMarket]

Purge is playing wow and apparently became pretty addicted to it(not joking).

 

[Thrikodius]

WoW... Well Cinematic Mini-Contest #3 would be nice in the mean time. I haven't made a senceless humour cinematic since my Endless War Triology. Think I'm gonna refresh it and upload it again. Your voice and accent might fit the bad guy CMarket.

 

[Just_Spectating]

will someone please notify Purge?

 

[Thrikodius]

If he's just playing wow somebody could go find him and confront him with this issue! (/evil laugh)
In other words talk to him "face to face".

 

[CMarket]

Or we could organize our 1st unofficial cinematic contest. Just choose somebody as a representative who will take care of any technicalities with Ralle and the rules.

 

[Thrikodius]

Great initiative CMarket! Your the guy! But if it's unofficial... could we then blast it up in The Arena and have epic rewards, award icons e.t.c? Imo that makes it kind of official. Or did you refer to any other "technicalities"?

 

[CMarket]

Well I believe I can convince Ralle for a rep prize(but not a large one) but I doubt I will be able to get an award icon prize. So what are the ideas for the contest? My idea is to choose 3 or 4 ideas and put them in a pool for a week. Then simply set the theme of the cinematic to the most voted idea.

 

[Thrikodius]

Let's say... any theme (comedy, drama e.t.c) and then we vote forward Sci-Fi, Medieval, Fantasy, Modern Warfare, Polotics, Game Keepers... get the picture?

 

[CMarket]

Nah, we need something more specific. Since I saw that at least ten people wanted to do a music video I believe that could be the theme. My other suggestion would be a holiday themed short story which can be a comedy, drama or even a horror. It could be Christmas, Easter, Halloween, or any other common holiday.

 

[Thrikodius]

But Music Video would be for the official Cinematic Contest #2. As long as there can be comedy in the inofficial I'm satisfied. For Halloween I think I'd use my Pumpkin Infernal. ^^

 

[CMarket]

Oh, I had no idea. Well, in that case a holiday theme would fit best I believe. But we need to get more people first, only two of us here ^^

 

[Critters]

I would join even though I have no idea for a holiday cinematic.

 

[Mechmap]

Holiday theme is the win!

 

[Thrikodius]

CMarket told me he would ask Rui or Happy Tauren to host it.
