Discussion: Matrix Machinima Contest

Yay! They added all those movies! Cool! I am happy that mine will be displayed. I am off to watch all the new ones that just got added now.

I am also on Guardian, but I recently started there and my highest there is like level 10 or something. Look up Beta Cat if you get the time.

Hooray, mine is there! Had to update its info because David handled the compression for me (fixed title and added description and stuff) but it's there! And getting good comments! Woot!

For those that were uploaded Sunday or earlier and sitting in compression, if David or GameTrailers handles the compression, it shows the date/time it was UPLOADED (ie, mine shows Saturday the 9th).

Good luck to everybody!

Bah, mine's still "Compressing". I already sent David an email, so I'll just have to wait & see I suppose

I guess I am going to email David and upload a new version because it is still compressing.

Edit: I just sent an email off to David telling him that mine is still compressing since friday and sent the link to my video as in less than a hour I was able to upload it and have it compressed.

Please not Saturday morning. Other than that I'm in.

I may have to bring Ipo though....poor 8's only 32.

I had a dream last night that you were Satan, 8baller. I think I've spent too much time in this forum.

How does Saturday evening sound for a Video Maker smashdown on test?

DUDE! 8 may have gone dark...but he'd never be pure evil

Saturday evening sounds good to me.

Can 8 get a sk up to (whatever level we'll need). If so, I'll bring him along.

I got an email this morning from David asking me if it had uploaded yet (I sent the message sometime before the contest ended). We'll see what happens. I wonder if they're going to extend the voting period because of this, though.

Well, Fly-By Knight is only lvl 30. So I'm in the same boat. We could also create new toons on a real server -- maybe Virtue. Could be fun to form our own little team. We could talk about themes for the group and start creating our toons over the week. Could post screenies and what not. Group might last just for the weekend maybe 'till the contest is over maybe longer. Maybe not at all. But I think it might be more fun...

What do you guys think?

EDIT: If we go this route maybe we can have some sorta FILM or TV theme. Like maybe we're all on some Superhero Reality TV Show. Or we're all really actors in a Superhero movie turned real like "Galaxy Quest" or "Tropic Thunder.

Or something else entirely.

Since as far as I know, we're not gaming on Saturday, I'll certainly try. Intrepid videographer Johanna Sinclair is lvl 50, so I can certainly bring her along!

ITF or LGTF is fine by me - I can see it now...

Random other player: "How the hell did you guys take six hours doing the ITF?"
Dark_Respite: "Oh, we were constantly pausing things to set up shots and tell the NPCs what to do so we could get close-ups, and then there was the lighting issue..."

I have an Eden scheduled for Saturday afternoon, and a sg event for Saturday evening. If those finish up (What time is this anyways) I'm game for test servering it up.

Here's the thread to discuss Saturday:

I've got the perfect name:

The Camera Crew

:-D

alright, so two days later I'm still compressing... Damn I hope I don't get disqualified. Is it even worth it to e-mail David?

YES! Email him and let him know (and include your username).

Then log in later in the day and make sure your title and description are correct.

Absolutely. I've just gotten a second attempt uploaded to gametrailers as per his request and it looks like I'm going to be entered. I probably should have changed the text to be a little more readable in the meantime, but meh.

A second batch are uploaded, including mine. I'm official!

Now comes the flood of negative comments!

Mine has been added to the list as well.

Damn, I'm going to have to email him again. Still in the same boat.

As is mine, whee!

I'll take some time to watch/rate/comment on all of these videos eventually, but I'll have to do it in bits since I don't know how many more times I can watch that commercial.

you can skip through the commercial by dragging the slider forward.

Alright, David should be fixing me up Big thanks to David!

Edit: and here it is!!! YAY!!!

Well, just to dispell any doubts whatsoever, my entry - The Dubious Villain - is 100% CoX or Me. Nothing else but. Now that I'm seeing all these entries pop in on the second day after the deadline though, I'm very nervous.
Congrats to everyone who posted though. And I might be interested in trying to grab some time before my subscription runs out again. I was saving the time for this contest.

My money's on 8-baller. Most technically accomplished. I mean come on! Maya?

Oh, great, I'm at the top of the featured list..........

And you're complaining WHY?!

Woohoo, made it through all the entries (and left many comments and ratings)... and from what I've seen so far, 8baller, StoneFalcon, and me are neck and neck and neck for the lead in terms of vote rating!

At this point, though, I figure that even if I only place or show (and not win), those are the funds for the HeroCon trip, baby!

Dear Gosh - David responded incorrectly TWICE to my inquiry and when I decided to re-upload, I found my FIRST upload was there, but NOT PROCESSED. So now I re-uploaded and got the #109 error. I've sent them a response confirming the SECOND upload is there with the error. So now, it's ANOTHER wait and see. *sigh and a sob*
