I sent mine to you about a month and a half ago. The DL link and the youtube. Even so, a couple entries isn't enough. Also, that's why I thought an extended period would make contestants lose interest. One month would have been good, but 3 months just is way too much time in my opinion. Hopefully this works out though. I hope there is at least 5 decent entries submitted.

I've wanted to do this for a really long time. I make trailers for people a lot, they're not great but they're perfectly functional.

Here's an example: Unreal 1 Singleplayer Mappack Trailer

If anyone wants to help me with it, please PM me. If I don't get any responses, I probably won't make one, seeing as I'm rather busy with everything and deadlines don't phase me much. If a real person motivates me however, I'd be up for it, so long as they could help by some means (providing stellar demos, acting).

Again, PM me if you like.

I also replied to you saying that I won't accept final submissions on youtube, that you should spend more time on your submission, and that you needed to contact me when you were ready to upload the final clip via FTP

Oh, I didn't get a reply back. I said that I really didn't have time for the only time I really go on at the time is during work since I have a desk job. I already deleted all the trailer stuff to clear space, but if you really want me to spend time to make another one I can do one since my schedule is easing up since the summer coming to a halt.

Is that thing still going on? I mean, can I?

Kazuki · « **Reply #125 on:** August 14, 2008, 12:44:21 pm »

I may or may not give this the good ol' college handjob. Even if isn't a valid entry. ^_^

Foley · « **Reply #126 on:** August 17, 2008, 03:45:12 am »

Well I would participate IF this would not end like the logo comp.

L[0ne]R · « **Reply #127 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:13:39 pm »

Well, looks like it already DID end up like logo contest :/
That's just sad.

Kazuki · « **Reply #128 on:** September 22, 2008, 11:54:08 pm »

Hey, would any of you be willing to send me any footage and/or demos that I could use in a video? I think I'm willing to give this the good o'l college try.

Sorry for the bump, how are these videos going. Are any actually finished and looking good. I'd like to see them.

This competition died a long time ago, however, some users did make movies:

Was looking forward to seeing more videos, but this contest just... died. I'm surprised it ended up like that.

Snow · « **Reply #132 on:** April 21, 2009, 11:06:06 am »

Hasn't really died, just wasn't given a real official deadline, by which I mean, "done on this day and that is that". Keep makin them. I would still like to give it a shot as well. At the moment - a bit too busy working and just compiling/collecting footage.

PQ · « **Reply #133 on:** April 21, 2009, 11:25:54 am »

there was an official deadline. July 20th.. I still can't be bothered ending the concept I made. this was the concept on some pre-stage.

I never got enough submissions from people to make it worthwhile for me to follow through with the competition. I was hoping to receive at least 25-50 submissions and have a real serious following of the competition. It more or less fell on its face unfortunately.

Keep dreaming that would never happen. Community is way too small.

...and the expectations for so many entries IMO are way too high. Video editing is a hard process, and I doubt that there are many professional video editors around here. 10-20 submissions is what I would expect, but 50 - heck no

Is this still going on? And..
Is there list of submissions so far?

You can't just post a YouTube video, you must post a download link as well.

Good to see you're getting involved though.

chutem · « **Reply #139 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:32:31 am »

I plan on making another potential trailer. Only this time I will make my own soundtrack which is in-sync with the video, hopefully it will be kickass.

All I need now is to get recording some gameplay.
