Alright, I've found some time to do some thinking and I've made a selection (oddly enough, while I was doing other stuff too...)



ShadowGhost's Video Challenge!


What is it?
Well, it's a challenge to anyone willing to take it up. I've selected 5 songs. It's up to the contestants to pick up their tools and pick a song. ( Or two, or more )
They make some sort of CoX based visual motion picture.
If they submit their endresult before the end of the deadline, they're in the running for the trophy!

There's a trophy?
Well, no... but I'll get to that later. *shifty eyes* The prize is grand, though! *shifty eyes*


Any more questions? No? OK! Let's get started!



[u]The songs:[u]


Queen: We will rock you ( Classic, what can I say? )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iikKz...ed&search=

Shania Twain: That don't impress me much ( One of my personal favourites )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SOh6...ed&search=
Kareoke version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqZlcyy3dXc

The "Benny Hill chase song" ( for the silly )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spz8_...ed&search=

3 Doors Down: Here without you ( for the drama and see if we can do better then WoW )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J8q4cBSkTQ

FireGuardian: Paragon City ( Just begging for a CoH clip )

(Yes, FG gave his permission to use and host this.) FG threatened me to put in in the list! I think he might come after me for not putting more on it... HELP!?



I hope this made a nice and wide enough mix for you guys and girls to work from

[u]The Rules:[u]

Use the CoX game engine as a base. You can add some effects if you like, but nothing too over the top. (when in doubt, PM me with the question, or post here)

Use only one song per entry... Okay, so this one's more a guideline then an actual rule...

Make as many entries as you want.



Deadline: 20th of August 2007


[u]The Judging:[u] Will be done by me. I can't be bribed, but don't let that stop you from trying


[u]The rewards:[u]

For all: fun! (I hope)
For the winner: Ego stroking and recognition of skill


Any other questions?
No? Then get started! (Yes? Post here or PM me)

With i10 out, I thought I'd remind people this is still on, and that i10 might prove to hold good opportunities to combine with one of these songs.

That and a shameless bump

Also to remind myself to keep 20 August in mind...

20th of August, the deadline... and no entries... ah well.

I guess the competition is over, but don't let that stop any of you to finish and submit your entries afterwards!
(yes, I realise I'm optemistic in thinking stuff just didn't get finished on time)

I applaud you for your initiative!
Shame nothing came out of it.

I did this.... then realised there were specific songs... i thought it was just pick a song and do a CoH vid that encapsulates it. Since no-one has posted anything, can't do any harm i suppose....

Clicky for the Vid
