I'm starting it now because of the server possiblity. I will have the judges in place by the due date of the first vid. I'll post them here when they are in place. Peeps can still get on as long as i have the 1st vid by the deadline.

1st vid ddate is 12/26 by 11:59pm

PM me here or at skatefluckit.com (preferably there) with a megaupload for your final rendered part.

heres the vid order

1. Commercial-pick any brand from the game and make a commercial anything goes can use clips from outside of s3 but all skating clips must be in game.

2. Horrible Song- Each contestant will pick a song that is just wrong to be in a skate vid. we will then vote on the songs can't vote for your own pick and the winning song will be done used by all. vid is free to do whatever you want with the song again anything can be used but all skating must be in game.

3. Mini Vid- 5 judges will contribute 4 clips each 3 clips 1 double angle. however each contestant will be responsible for the banger of their vid. (double angle allowed) Contestants chose their own song also can film in game any non skating clips of their own. You don't have to use every clip by the judges but at least one clip per judge must be used in the vid.

4. Green Screen Fun- Anything goes for this one totally open just make sure you use the green screen effect primarily as the basis of the vid

5. One spot- Again the contestant voting method will be use for a spot and you and others if you'd like skate it also you can use up to 2 moveables to make the spot your own.

6. Trailer- you will make a trailer for vid 7 again anything goes but skating must be in game

7. mini solo- just that a mini solo

Good luck all I'm a cheap bastard so Ill be protecting them points !!

[jpdidde13]

filetype don't matter one bit i use mp4 myself but i can convert anything without quality loss so whatevs you send will be fine

[blackhawk17]

i would love to get in this!
i need to practice up on my editing anyways

[jpdidde13]

added ^^^

so i'm changing the 3 scores to Execution, Creativity and Overall Impression since originality is under creativity and overall much better

[Floating]

[LanceForLife]

Can i jump on this? if so can the first one be like a vid trailer or does it have to be an ad

[jpdidde13]

@blisk yup 1min or less
@ lance yeah ur in if u want and it's an ad but a trailer is technically an ad so it's your call

[jpdidde13]

Judges are up!! if you have any discretions with them well thats just dumb but feel free to PM me your concerns these guys are all unbiased in my opinion

[Manolo]

that's a great idea,i would like to participate but i don't know if i'll have time for it.good challenges tho,looks like fun.

[BladderBoy]

Lovin this. Cant wait to get crankin...

[jpdidde13]

would've loved to have ya everyone would've had their work cut out for em. I get the time thing thats why i made the vids 60sec. or less and tbh i've started filming as much stuff as i can for this cuz yeah its gonna be tight w/ just 2 weeks between each vid drop if you change your mind your always on the list

[BladderBoy]

this is mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo and my commercial is basically done

Haha yes terribad indeed. All I think of when i hear that song is the ObiWan/Luke pedo-musical scene in Blue Harvest.

[jpdidde13]

You guys don't have to post em yet and if u have it on YouTube bricks the link is all I need I wasn't plannin on putting the vids into 1 vid just postin em all seperate

Lol oh u meant ur song thought u were post ur commercial

[Wiltzuh]

Jeah but i'm on holiday soon so i would'nt be able to send it to ya between 16. to 27. December so i was quite a good time. Sorry if i caused problems but i dont think i caused. And you get my commercial ?

[jpdidde13]

got it

[xI blisk Ix]

expect a PM from me soon, also are you going to make these public for the forums to see?

[jpdidde13]

yeah they'll be public

[xI blisk Ix]

yeah they'll be public

sweet because no one wants to put in hard work making a video and not show anyone :P

[jpdidde13]

one more week for clip 1 due and if i can get your pick for horrible song we can get the vote done for that so peeps who are done with vid 1 can start on vid 2

[Oddity]

Is it too late for me to jump in on this action? And my suggestion for the horrible song for people to choose would either be Yankee Rose by David Lee Roth or Naughty, Naughty by John Parr.

[xI blisk Ix]

can a song be worse than this one?

[xI blisk Ix]

[Wiltzuh]

[BladderBoy]

my lb mag release and the holidays made it tough for me to get something together. love this idea. sorry i didnt make the deadline

[jpdidde13]

its all good just to much for to many maybe we'll bring it back...sometime

to blisk and bricks sorry guys thanks for submitting both your vids were dope

again an ea thing dies....haha skates on life suppport

[Cerebus_]

I completely forgot about this thing since I got a cold on xmas so I've been pretty fucked up the last couple of days

[HorseHead]

Hey, sorry about forgetting about this thing. I think it's just a rough time of year to have a contest. The holidays had me busy with family/friend business. I started on some stuff, I swear. I'm still down to do it if you want to extend the deadline.

[djadam12]

i was gonna drop a surprise entry myself, but with all the family and friends around for the holidays i never got the time to put the clips together... bring it back and i'll be in for sure.

[LanceForLife]

Yeah i went on a holiday and forgot to upload my vid before i left once it get home i will upload so you guys can laugh at it cause some of the ones already out are way better than mine.

[BladderBoy]

So I guess we all agree... Jesus is to blame.
