We are launching a new contest. This time it is to make a superb movie about Project Entropia. The focus of the movie is to show what Project Entropia is to the general public, and not only to hardcore gamers.

The winner will receive a full set of high-end Supremacy Armor and a secret item (with an expected total market value of several tens of thousands PED) as prize, and will be announced by name if desired to the public.

More info about the competition is available at the Community section; http://www.project-entropia.com/community/Index.ajp
 
Go Kitty Goooo!

Great, I love competitions! Ill make something-something :) Ill see if it'll do for anything :p

nice initiative!

And gratz to Mccormick the lucky winner! :D

Edit: o_O I forgot about Kitty too, although it's really just those two :D
 
:boxer: Loads up FRAPS! :boxer:
 
Questions:

1) Can I use music in the vid? Should I win and the movie be used for MA marketing purposes, will the rights for the songs be bought?
2) Can I be setup with a HOF worth of several tens of thousands of PEDs so I can show the general public and hardcore gamers how happy MMORPGs can make a sad fool? :D
 
Go MC GOOOOOO! :D

1) Read the rules - music is supplied there.

2) Well, you can hunt until it happens. ,-)
 
I hope that "item worth ten tousands of peds" is something usable,like a imp.fap or mod.fap instead of the rather disappointing war axes and roman ram knives.

Anyway..go Kitty :D
 
im going to have a shot at it as well, never hurts to try
 
Noticed a few didnt get the news up on community page so:

Words from Marco Behrmann, Director of Community Relations
2005-08-30

Hello all!

Welcome to a very exciting autumn for Project Entropia. MindArk PE AB is getting ready to launch a great expansion, with a new development team, new hardware, and a marketing campaign to enter Project Entropia into the mind of the public. We have shown that the business model of Project Entropia is a viable one and the one for the future.

We are slowly working on adding an automatic system for adding yourself to the Portal page. We are also developing a system to enter Community Events in which you as a participant may advertise your event in the Project Entropia client to all other participants. More on this later on as they go live.

Do you have a favorite hangout on the web where you feel Project Entropia should be seen? A place that would benefit from getting information from MindArk concerning Project Entropia and its development? If you do, please send to me at
mbemail_s.jpg
the contact information to that site and we will contact them to see if they are interested.

We are also launching a new contest. This time it is to make a superb movie about Project Entropia. The focus of the movie is to show what Project Entropia is to the general public, and not only to hardcore gamers. See it as a future piece, possibly replacing the EBN/Sayah King trailer on the main page. I know that the community is full of vibrant ideas and have more brainpower than we have here in the studio, so come on and show us you can make the best presentation movie there is about Project Entropia.

Some areas that must be covered in the movie is the real economy and the links to the real world currency, the ability to make real money, the basic back-story of Project Entropia and Calypso (being pioneering colonists), and the social aspect of the virtual universe. And above all – it must look exciting, hot, and desirable. ,-)

The end credits must show a link to the Project Entropia web site.

The rules are simple. The date it must be completed is December 1st 2005. The movie may not contain any copyrighted material such as music. We therefore supply a dozen Project Entropia music tracks for you to use in this zip archive (roughly 35 Mb in size, in .mp3 format). The film should not be longer than four minutes; preferable it should be around three minutes or less. The movie may at most be 500 Mb in size and be in high-resolution AVI or WMV format.

Once you feel you have completed the movie you upload it to our FTP site (address soon announced). Then you supply me with an email at
mbemail_s.jpg
with a note about the movie you have uploaded.

Please make sure that if you use written text in the movie, that it is in correct and proofed English. You may enter as many different contributions as you like.

Please note that when you enter the competition you also relinquish any and all rights to the movie and you may not distribute it, unless an agreement is made between the participant and MindArk PE AB.

A jury consisting of MindArk staff and PR- and advertising professionals will be reviewing the movies and announce the winner before Christmas 2005. The jury’s decision cannot be opposed.

The winner will receive a full set of high-end Supremacy Armor and a secret item (with an expected total market value of several tens of thousands PED) as prize, and will be announced by name if desired to the public.

What are you waiting for – get those movies going! ,-)

If you want to discuss the matters, please do so in the "MindArk Announcement" section at the forums; www.entropiaforum.com and Entropia Pioneers.

-Marco

If so, I recommend clearing the cache (CTRL+F5 if using IE).
 
Really exciting stuff! :girl:

MA is taking some more serious steps towards getting the PE name "out there" in the gaming community.
 
Very nice idea, there has been some pretty nice PE movies made by participants. :)

...Obviously havnt seen any old KotBR movies :rolleyes:

...Sry to say but.."Lance-in-the-Mud" Productions is gonna be taking home the Oscar on this one, peeps!

With Scorp and I behind the camera, anything is possible!!!! :wise:
 
Just to be clear on the music... It is mentioned that no copyrighted materials can be used. Do you want only the downloadable music in the movie, or can we use the sounds on our hard drives... or even music that we write ourselves?

Thanks

can I just ask who Kitty is? I've seen her on EF forum but I don't know anything about her and everyone has been mentioning her name in relation to this comp. Has she made movies before, if so were can I find some of her work?

EDIT: Marco is it possible to use copyrighted music, if permission to use it is achieved from the copyright owner? In this case what proof do we have to provide that we have permission to use.

do a little search here on EF, he's got s few great LG-movies for example. Also the 7th most repped here on EF, under the name of ZarathustrA
 
What is the definition of "High Resolution" ?
640x480, 800x600, or full ingame res 1024x768 ?
 
Holy shit! What a great competetion, and I mean great! This is something EVERYONE can have a go of. Hats of to Marco and the Team. I may have a dabble, it's doubtful, but possible.
The fact that MA value the contribution the movie makers have made so far, and that they liked the work so much they opened up this to everyone is just wonderfull.

Hip hip, Hooray!!!

Kit is one of a kind ;)
He (female avi) is my advisor in The Jaded Crown. A great player, and even better person. And his movies/commercials for PE are astonishing... really great things that he can do... original ideas, great concepts, fabulous music, etc... you get the idea.

Ya, of course I'm partial to Kitty and can't wait to see what he comes up with... :)

I think there are so many great "film-makers" amidst us in the PE community... I'm really looking forward to seeing the winner and their finishing product

It should be watchable and pleasing to the eye. I am no movie tech guy so I don't know about resolution. It should be at least as crisp as the highest resolution PE Presentation movie (EBN/Sayah King, 1Mbit) one.

As to not using the music supplied, I have to get back to you on that. The idea was to use the supplied music, but any cool idea that is workable is being considered. Send me a PM or email and make a proposition. =)
