Poll & Rules
Welcome to the poll for the Cinematic Mini-Contest #2. Here you will be able to vote for your favorite entry. Please be aware of the following things before you go and vote:

• You can't vote for yourself. If you vote for yourself your vote will be removed.
• If you create multiple accounts and vote for yourself, your vote will be removed, you will also loose points and maybe be disqualified from the contest and any future contests in this series.
• If any voter has the same IP as the contestant they voted for, it will be looked upon as a multiple account unless they can provide proper evidence that it isn't.

Jakkos... I liked some of the others, but this was best, by far.. The only one close to it was Galthors Escape I think, but it was kinda lacking...

 

[Jaakko]

I watched all of the entries but I'm too lazy to make a review unless somebody asks me to. I'm going to vote for Galthor's Escape, it had the right horror athmosphere for me. I also liked 29-05-91. The others were nice too.

 

[Evil_Redneck]

I would have to say Jaako's Cinematic was my favorite. Mine didnt come close, but hey that was the first cinematic I've ever done. Congrats and good luck to everyone!

 

[Mechmap]

I vote for Jaakko's definetly. Galthors escape was good but it wasn't intriging. It was just an escape. Final Frenzy was really good though I don't understand the meaning of the corpse next to the table. I mean, would it not be risky for the priest to put the body there while people are in the church. The stroy was great though.

 

[Technomancer]

Jaakko's Cinematic gets my vote. It has what I consider to be a well thought out and well done plot, or story, that works well given the time constraints. The camerawork, use of effects, use of voice acting, and timing are also very well done.

Jakko cin is amazing, that terrain had to take few solid hours to make , i just ask where did u get all the models from? ultim terrain map and ...?

 

[Mechmap]

I belive the stone walls and stairs at least are from a stone house package made by someone i cant remember at the moment. But i think its downloadable at wc3campaigns.

That's right. I didn't use the ultimate terraining map.

I don't understand the meaning of the corpse next to the table. I mean, would it not be risky for the priest to put the body there while people are in the church.

Spoilers ahead.
The priest was in a hurry because he had killed the real priest and the people were coming to the church so he hid the corpse behind the table. The person acting the priest in the cinematic is really a murderer and a thief. Also the ghost upstairs is the real priest. Before the ghost starts to play the dead body has disappeared and you can really see the body has disappeared if you look closely.

 

[Martin Barbov]

My vote goes for Jaakko. He pwned all other entries.

 

[Mechmap]

My vote goes for Jaakko. He pwned all other entries.

Thats the truth. Bow before jaako!

 

[Jaakko]

Thanks, but really I don't like to see anybody bow me.

 

[PainMoth]

Oh man when is the next one coming out? If I knew I would've so joined.

Out of all the entries though I must say Jaakko put the most effort in. Good job

Due to continuing problems with my computer I have decided to make this contest solely be decided by votes in the poll. No judging will be done, it will be decided only by public opinion.

But.. then it might not be sure there will be a solo 3rd, all that remain may come 3rd!!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Then all 3rd places will share the 3rd place price divided into the amount that has come in 3rd.

 

[frostwhisper]

Jaakko wins in my humble opinion.
It had a very good story. Original, no doubt there.

 

[LiOneSS]

I liked the movie cloverfield... so ilike frosty's cinematic ^^ the others can be classified as better, but cloverfield wins my vote ^^

 

[Mechmap]

I wish more people voted.

 

[frostwhisper]

Me too. I actually have a chance to be third now...

 

[Mechmap]

I know but it just bugs me that no one voted on me! Though some of the others were better. Though i wish i knew who voted on Dante's Hell.

 

[Jaakko]

Though i wish i knew who voted on Dante's Hell.

Just click one of the numbers in the poll and you will see all the voters.

 

[Martin Barbov]

What's wrong with Dante's Hell

 

[Pyritie]

OFFTOPIC: What font is that anyway?

 

[vnakira]

[Martin Barbov]

Surprisingly I got the 3rd place.

 

[Mechmap]

I thought frostwhisper would get that spot...

At least i got one vote xD

 

[PainMoth]

Congratulations everyone. When will the next contest be held might I ask?

 

[Wolverabid]

Congratulations everyone. When will the next contest be held might I ask?

Let's give it at least two weeks. After the staff brainstorms some decent ideas, another contest shall begin!

 

[PurgeandFire]

I think I should host the next one. Seeing as RSH has left the building, I think I am probably the runner up. Unless some other moderator would like to step in.

Anywho, I will decide on the final subject and post the new contest. I will PM Wolverabid and ask him to hand out the rewards.
