For the AMV WoW enthusiasts out there

Post by The Wired Knight » Thu May 03, 2007 2:16 am

This might belong in the contests thread so if I made a mistake feel free to move this there.

Anyway I found this

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/contests ... /index.xml

A music video editing contest sponsored by Blizzard (prize is a new graphics card). The deadline is fast approaching but I thought the other editors here would like to know about this contest as it's exactly up our ally (espeically for those that like to do GMVs).

Anyone plannign on entering?

Buying WoW and using the free trial would so be worth lens flaring my way to a new video card.

Well I was about to put AMV Creator but that seemed too long and I foresaw a lot of people asking "What the hell is an AMVC" if I were to use that acronym

It would be nice if they actually stated the prizes. "A geforce series video card" says nothing.

it throws in a few more challenges - camera control, acting with your toon, coordinating with other player-actors.

blizz has previously sponsored video contests, but this is the first one i've seen allowing music from a major label. traditionally, videos have been styled as narratives with recorded speech, or watch me gank these n00bz omgh4x. by requiring the contestants to use the prerecorded songs, there might be more videos that would follow an amv-like style (i.e. emphasis on synch, editing, and effects).

A month doesn't seem like enough time to really come up with a concept, organize players/guildies, capture, and edit enough footage to produce something spectacular... though most hardcore WoW players probably have the time on their hands to do something like that... :roll:

Anything other than an 8800 ultra is a scam and a waste of time.
