Cinematic Mini-Contest #1
Theme
Welcome to the first Mini-Contest for the Cinematic forum! For this Contest, you are to create a short 1 vs 1 hero scene, it can be a Drama, a Battle Scene or a Comedy. There has to be some type of Conflict between the two heroes in the Cinematic. Whatever type of Cinematic you make though, you will be marked on the same Criteria except for one field, which will change for what type of Cinematic you make.
Rules
- All cinematics must be made from scratch. No Cinematic may have been started before the Contest starts.
- The Cinematic can not be any other Genre apart from Battle, Drama or Comedy.
- The cinematic can go for no more then 1 minute.
- You may not work in Teams, you must make this Cinematic on your own.
- WEU and Custom Cinematic Systems can be used for the Cinematic, however you have to clearly state if you have used it or not.
- There is no limit to how many imports you may have in a map, however please try and keep the file size down as much as possible.
- Credits, Titles and other small extras like that do not count as part of the time limit, but remember that everything else can go for no more then 1 minute.
Criteria
The Cinematics will be judged by me, and there will be a public poll. However how many votes people received in the public poll will be added onto their score that they are given from me, giving them a final score.
General Criteria
- Cameras Movement/Positioning /10
How well have the Cameras been placed, and how well do they move? Do the Cameras go through trees and other Doodads? - Units / Animations /10
How good is the movement and positioning of units in the Cinematic? Do the units move around or does everyone just stand in exactly the same spot? Have animations been used well in the Cinematic? Have Animations been used at all? - Terrain/Environment /10
How good is the terrain of the Cinematic? How much detail is there in the terrain? Does the fog look good, if any? - Sounds/Music /10
How well have Sounds and Music been used in the Cinematic? Have sounds been used well, creating a nice atmosphere to the Cinematic? Has appropriate Music been selected, if some is even used? - Storyline/Dialouge /05
How well has the Storyline been made, and has the Dialouge been well written (if any)? - Entertainment /15
Was the Cinemaitc entertaining? Did it entertain me for the whole 60 seconds? Did it have any boring bits that took up time, and had almost no purpose, or was all of the cinematic to the point, and entertaining?
