Forgot to mention this last month, but for May and June, Liz donated her 10 million inf prize to the final winner's pot. So it's now up to 70 million to the final winner.

And Amerikatt just donated another 30 million to bring the total to 100 million for the final winner.

*ahem* I mean, donated 30 million fish sticks and a year's worth of mice-a-roni.

Though I'd also like to mention that I'm not asking for any more donations. Draggynn initially offered more of a prize, but I wanted to keep it somewhat small. 100 mil's not overly large, and it's a nice round number to keep it at.

100 mil inf ! (cheers for donating, people!)
I think that's quite large! My two main chars together might be close to own 100 mil inf...but that "only" took 3 years *giggles then blushes*
Perhaps Dee should spend less on clothing

I has another question... this time regarding the deadlines.

For the Early Bird point it's July 15th and the regular deadline is July 26th.
Now there are two pieces (which in the end belong together) to enter. One written part and one art part.
Is the deadline for the EB-point for the art part aswell as the written part?
Or is it for the art part only? And can the desciption of a possible trailer be entered till the regular deadline?
This ís an Art battle afterall .

Good question. As long as you have a finished draft of your trailer idea and the fully finished poster, it will be accepted as an early bird, and I won't prohibit tweaking/fleshing out the written portion, though if there is a complete re-write after the deadline, it will negate the early bird points. If you make edits to your trailer outline, please make them before the early bird deadline, or make a new post after the early bird deadline so I can judge how much changes.

I change a costume almost every week for VexXxa's "In The Mood" TFs. Haven't paid full price on one yet in over a year.

Only if you visit my Aunt Lauren in Independence Port!

Serge is a hack and is only kept in business by having Carnies and Nemmies as his principal clients.

Carson is too busy downing Prozac like candy to care about giving us a quality product.

Thank The Great Cat Mother for Aunt Lauren!

Way to bring it this month! Can't wait to see how the trailer might play out.

Nomtastic work, Miss DD!

Not only did you do a gorgeous poster (with an equally gorgeous subject), but you actually got Catnip and the Teaspoonlickers to do the music! I love those guys and I have every one of their records ... um ... CDs!

Jason Priestley was *meant* to play Lord Recluse!

Cheers Bubba and Amerikatt! Glad you like it!

Catnip and the Teaspoonlickers are amazing! I have all their cd's aswell! Can't wait for the "Catnip and the Teaspoonlickers at the horrormovies" double album. But I'm sure I'll get a signed copy!

You should have seen Jason in the auditions. He blew us all away!
Why *meant*?.. he didn't die in the mean time...and not tell me about it...did he? *looks worried*

PG-13?

Seriously??

I loved it until that.... Sorry, but I just cannot buy our Neko starring in anything that could possibly receive such a rating!

We bribed the rating company to overlook certain aspects

@Defiance Jones: Thanks! . Well.. I did have stuff to make up for... as my latest entries were far from good... I can only hope this is good enough for the voters though! *crosses fingers and hopes she won't get eliminated this month*

lol, no worries.. Recluse wears a mask, doesn't he? I'll make sure he doesn't take it off... at least not in the trailer... *giggles*

@Caemgen: Yeah... We did try and convince the raters that this film doesn't need the parental control... but they truly didn't see it that way and reminded us of the latest Harry Potter films, which have the PG13 rating aswell.
Honestly, there was nothing we could do about it!

*looks again at Darth's entry*

Hmmmm... I wonder what you'd come up with for a poster for THE COURSE OF SUPERHERO ROMANCE. Must save up some $$ for another round of art commissions, the Ko is broke.

I'm totally lacking energy and motivation to contribute lately, especially as the remaining artists continue to bring their "A" game. But I thought I'd try my hand at the trailer writing process, as I've made a few trailers. This is a poster made by Soul Storm on the forums and Muessig on deviant Art for my Matchstick Women arc (FYI, AE arc poster/trailer is perfectly acceptable, since it's still CoH)



Close up of a fire.
Slow pan out.
VO: "Fire... capable of great power...
Flash-quick-cut to battle scene with custom group in outdoor setting.
Flash-cut back to fire.
VO: great strength...
Flash-cut to a Matchstick woman boss doing an emote/power animation denoting strength.
Flash-cut back to fire - a masked face can now be seen within the fire.
VO: and great destruction...
Flash-cut to an establishing shot of the burning building map.
Flash-cut back to Emily - main character of the arc.
Slow circle pan around Emily
VO: Emily Metzer - A fire user, scarred by her abilities, she leads a group set out to teach and care for other women fire users, so they don't end up like her.
Fade to a group of Matchstick Women all using the power Warmth.
VO: But something has changed in her. Women are being forced to join Emily's cult.
Fade to a woman in a fire cage surrounded by Matchstick Women.
Pan left-to-right.
Fade out to black.
VO: And maybe... something worse.
Fade in on demon roaring.
Fade to black.
Fade in to title.
Matchstick Women #3369

I just added the trailer part to my submission! So yeah.. you'll have to scroll back a bit to read it.

I hope it's sufficient.

You may want to consider having the actions be things that can be done in game? I only skimmed it but I don't see how in game you can show someone taking a hot shower... On the other hand, there are waterfalls...

I'm not going to *require* that the trailer submissions have to have things you can do in-game. But I will point out that if it wins, it may have to be adjusted to something that *can* be accomplished in-game.
