Music Clip Contest #1

Music Clip Contest #1
The Idea of this contest is to make a music clip for a song in the Warcraft 3 World Editor. The Clip should last for 2-4 minutes.

Rules

• Any Clip longer then 5 minutes will loose points
• It is recommended that the clip is between 2-4 minutes
• The Clip must be made from scratch
• The only sounds you can play is the song or songs.
• If you work as a team to you must list every person who helped make the Clip
• The Clips will be judged by the admins

The Clip
You should try and make your Clip intresting and should have as many special effects as possible (but do not fill the whole clip with special effects to the point you can see almost nothing else on the screen). I know alot of people will just make a sought of stage with people on it, and its ok but a few surgestions if thats what your going to do.

1. You could make it like those clips where it goes back from the band playing on the stage to something happening somewhere else that has to do with a story.
2. Just looking at the same place, the same type of thing and so on can get quite boring for an entire song. So try and make different things in the clip, not just repeating the same sought of thing.
3. Try and think about how you can make the story in the clip (if any) as clear as possible to the viewer, and perhaps try and choose a song that is some how related to that story in any way.

Criteria
The Clip will be judged on:

• How well the song fits in with the special effects, terrain and everything else in the Clip.
• How well the Special Effects are used.
• The Terrain.
• How well the Cameras are used.
• Note that there should be no other sounds in the clip other then the song.

Length
Also you do not have to have a full song in the clip, you can have a full song, a bit of a song or a mix of different songs, as long as it dosn't go over 5 minutes.

Deadline
The Deadline for now will be the 5th of December. The Deadline can be increased or decreased if nessesary.

Prizes
The Winner of the contest will recieve 40 rep, as well as a title if he wishs. The runner up will recieve 20 rep and a title.

Yea well you could use power of the horde if you wanted to, although personaly I would find a good song to import. And u don't have to be able to model do you? just use that arthas model with the guitar, having no custom models won't decrease your score.

 

[ArcticInferno]

Oh...Nay, I was referring to models used in the clip. I'm thinking of making the scene where Thrall stormed Durnholde.

Ahh k, well that sounds cool, and would fit in with the song I suspect. Hope you manage to finish it .

 

[Ralle]

what do you mean by this?

The only sounds you can play is the song or songs.

 

[Bob27]

what do you mean by this?

I mean the only sound file you can play is the song, since its a bit pointless having random sounds being played in the middle of the song isn't it?

 

[ArcticInferno]

Anyone wanna do that music clip with me? I don't think I can handle it alone...

 

[ArcticInferno]

Hmm nevermind. I just want to ask a few questions. Answer it if you know please =)
1.Did thrall ride on snowsong, or snowsong followed him like rexxar and misha?
2.What colour was snowsong(white i guess...not sure.)
3.What season was it when Durnholde was stormed?(The book says it was raining, and it was 'a few months after spring'.)
4.What weapon did thrall exactly wield when he attacked durnholde? He killed blackmoore with a sword, but...did he wield doomhammer's warhammer before using a sword? Or he used nothing, or he was using the sword all along? :s

These questions, I cannot seriously figure out because I am not bright enough to, or observant of the book's content enough to. Help pleaseee =)

 

[Ralle]

it doesnt look like there wil be many joining this contest.. That's sad, I like the concept..

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The criteria is a bit high. It's hard to make a music video about nothing for 2 minutes.

 

[Archian]

Hmm, perhaps you should reconsider to withdraw this contest Bob ?

Very the same thought ralle. But it's abit difficult, but sounds interesting.

 

[Archian]

It's bob's call, he's the host of this contest.

 

[Bob27]

Yea well i'll try and make the rules bit more open, and see how it works then, and maybe i'll ask Rasmus if we can get a better prize (eg like a sub domain like mapping contest)
