The time of prophecy has arrived.
Called to action at last, the Earthguard have emerged from their hidden enclave,
ready to aid Perfect World against the coming destruction.

But what of the first three races - Human, Untamed, and Winged Elf - who struggled first against each other, then allied to face the Wraith threat?
Or the Tideborn, only recently risen from the depths to join the fight?

Will the whole of Perfect World unite against the approaching darkness?
Or will mistrust and suspicion tear Perfect World apart once and for all?

The contest is simple - create a video portraying how the Earthguard and the other races react to each other. It can be dramatic or humorous, epic or tragic, but it must illustrate how either the other races interact with Earthguard, or vice-versa.

The winner will recieve 10 million in coin, paid to the character(s) of their choice˚, and community recognition for their film. This contest is open to all characters & servers.

Rules:
1. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube (or another video hosting site).
Email kieve_krs@hotmail.com with a link to your film and your primary character/server*.
YouTube is preferred - I will create a playlist of contest entries to keep track of the participants.
2. Video content^ must be at least 0:30 seconds long, but no more than 5:00 minutes.
3. Multiple entries are allowed, up to a maximum of 3 per person.
4. Videos must be PG-13/"Safe for work." Excessive swearing, violence, nudity, or other objectionable content will result in your video's disqualification. TL;DR, if you can't post it on the forum, don't enter it.
5. Entry deadline will be April 30th. All video links must be received before midnight, US-Eastern time (GMT-5).

Judging:
In an effort to quell most QQ'ing or disputes about how "X was better than Y," five Finalists will be selected and placed in a public poll to determine the winner, along with the merits on which they were selected (a brief review). All other entries are likewise entitled to in-depth feedback, if they desire.
Films will be judged on both creative content and technical ability. Poor film quality will not ruin your chances if your idea is good.

Resources:
A guide is available for those who need a little help or advice getting started.
If your YouTube video is muted due to a claim from Warner Music Group (WMG), this should help. Please note that it will only work for WMG issues - Sony/UMG, UMD, Fox, and others tend to be less forgiving and generally don't revoke claims based on the "Fair Use" clause.

So there you are, comrades. By majority vote and popular demand, here is your new video contest! Let's get those cameras rolling!
View Submitted Videos

˚Coin is farmed on my own time with my own alts. I wish I had more to offer, but I'm just a player, and not a particularly rich one at that.
*Prize can be distributed to any character/server or multiple (in split denominations), but for tracking entries, please link only one character.
^Video content is defined as actual footage. "Studio/Logo" intro cinematics are acceptable, but will not be counted as part of the video's length. Example: If you use 0:10 seconds on a text screen "Created By John Smith, Archosaur Server," your film should total at least 0:40 seconds start to finish. "Credits" sections likewise fall under these guidelines.

    I'm putting everything I have on the line here, sacrificing both my free time and what little funds I have to offer in an effort to revive some creative initiative within the PWI community. This isn't a GM event, I don't have unlimited resources at my disposal, I have what I worked for on my own time and nothing else. I know it's not nearly as much as it used to be in the current economy, but it's all I've got.

    To those that are looking to enter, I thank you and hope to see some awesome film soon!

    10mil is ALOT by my standards b:surrender thank you for even doing this at all b:pleased

    One quick question - do you know of a way to hid the combat damage numbers as I have only 1 machine capable of playing PWI (ie cant watch on an alt) and it would make the videos a whole lot tidier b:victory

    Unfortunately, there's no way to turn off damage tickers - the only way to "hide" them is to film from another "camera" (/alt). It's regrettable, but sometimes unavoidable.

    *Also: you're welcome. :) Just been getting flak about the prize, and whether I'd even "pay up" since I started this and I'm honestly just... sick of it. Sorry if it seemed like a rant.

    Ok thanks for that, ill just try to avoid extended fight scenes then lol :P
    and fair enough too, you try and organise something and then others give you hell about it. That would more than annoy me, and and any other sensible person.

    hi! I'm so in xD but i have my doubts:

    1 - can ppl from any server join?

    2 - it must be a low level character? can i do both my sin and my mystic? my mystic isn't a high level (neither is my sin xD).

    3 - that's it xD

    1. Yes, any server. :)
    2. Any level, high or low, doesn't matter.

    As long as it somehow relates to how your characters feel about the Earthguard arrival, or how the EG's feel about them, either is fine. Aside from that, anything goes.

    Best advice I can give there is what Wikipedia cites as USA guidelines for PG-13:
    PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned wrote:
    Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. These films may contain sex references, up to four uses of explicit language, drug innuendo, strong crude/suggestive humor, mature/political themes, moderately long horror moments and/or moderate action violence. There are usually no restrictions on non-sexual nudity. However, bloodshed is rarely present. This is the minimum rating at which drug content is present; with the exception of Austin Powers and Click. Marijuana smoking is the only illegal drug use that can be depicted in a PG-13 film, with the exception of Forrest Gump, in which a brief scene depicts an actress snorting cocaine. While PG-13 films usually have more profanity than PG films, this is not necessarily the case. A film that is given a PG-13 rating due to profane language and/or racial insults is given this rating because it contains more of these elements than a PG rating would permit, or the film contains uses of stronger profanities than a PG would permit. A film rated PG-13 for "intense violence" is given this rating if blood is present in a violent way. The films Gremlins and Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom are well known as the movies that PG-13 was created for. In recent years, this rating has been used for the majority of American films released. Some films that have received a PG-13 rating have a director's cut with an R rating. Daredevil is just an example of this practice.[15] Examples include The Simpsons Movie, Eat Pray Love and Casino Royale.

    For the Sitcom Video Contest a while back, someone submitted a film with a number of Duke Nukem's quotes strung together - basically a thirty-second stream of profanity-laced quips. I'd suggest avoiding that kind of usage. The odd insult is fine, a torrent of "F-this, F-that" is not.

    my first video, i wanna thank kieve for doing this because he encouraged me to try something newb:laugh It was a lot of fun making it and I encourage everyone to come out and film, because in the end its very satisfying. It brings your creative side to the plate.

    With that said, I leave you my noob entry video for the contest. Hope some people enjoy it and get a little laugh.

    Probably, there are some entries (HOPEFULLY!!!) that are not posted in this thread.

    I'm a bit disappointed, because both of the videos show good relations with the EG. There's so much QQ about OP seekers. Don't tell me there's no combat movie entered???

    Anyway, the 2 entries are pretty>b:cute
