Common Q/A:
Q: I have no clue how to make a video-- HELP!
A: The Feb. 8th edition of the City Scoop had a nice write-up on how to make a video. Also you can find player guides linked in the Multi-Media forums.
Q: What time does the judging start/end and what zone does the judging operate on?
A: All times are Midnight ET
Q: Uh, what do you mean by public judging?
A: There will be a poll set up onwww.w00tstudios.netfor you, the general public to judge all the entries received. We will take the top 15 favorites (hero and villain) from there and judge them in the finals.
Q: Who will be judging the finalists?
A: No less then 4 PERC members will be judging the finals.
Q: What will the finalists be judged on?
A: We will be judging on 4 aspects. Originality, Professionalism, Creativity, and Commercialism. This is a COMMERCIAL contest, not a music video contest. Make sure that you sell, sell, sell!
Q: If I win, how will I get my prize?
A: If you win, be prepared for a member of PERC to contact you for your shipping address. I promise not to stalk you.
Q: Will I need to register for this contest?
A: The only registration that you will need to complete is for the CoH forums and www.w00tstudios.net.
Q: I have 2 commercials one for heroes and one for villains, can I enter both?
A: No, pick your favorite and post it--- share the other in the multi-media forum!
Q: Rose you are awesome, can I get a date?
A: I will think about it.... but I don't like catgurls.
Q: How will you contact the winners?
A: A PM will be sent to the CO__ forum name of the winning entry. At that time, be prepared to supply your shipping address.
Q: Why do I need to link my video after it's been uploaded on w00t's website?
A: We need a way to contact you.
Q: Boy, this is a lot of questions and answers to type out... are your hands tired?
A: Yes, I am going to stop presuming now, and let you come up with your own questions... if you need to- feel free to contact any member of PERC and they will get back to you with an answer, or post! We like to answer posts!

Is there any restriction to the music or sound effects permitted? (The CoH film contests always said you had to use clips from their library, if any)
no. no restrictions to music.
this is not an official COH contest--- we just bribed them for some prizes....LOL

WELL, no restrictions beyond the no "Copyrighted Materials" portion of the contest.
There are plenty of podsafe music sites out there.
