Can we do teams? For example, one person does the taping / rough stuff and they send that to another person who fixes / cleans it up and/or adds special effects?

The prize would obviously be split between them.

[Streetz]

ThunderHog - That is Ok. The prize would be split up amongst all people involved in that video.

[ThunderHog]

Well, since no one really seems to be entering, I guess I'm just gonna post my mind here.

Who wants to be on my team? I have a video camera and I wouldn't mind taping some random stuff - granted, I would have no idea what exactly to tape, but it would most likely be humorous to some extent. Thing is, is that I have no clue how to refine stuff - meaning once I made the video I really don't have anything to edit it with or add effects of any kind. Anyone here adept in that department?

[Drathro]

I watched the first submission from alaxam. Pretty good, but it has one big problem: you can't Counterspell a Sudden Death!

[final_press]

My thoughts exactly; Responding to Sudden Death with Counterspell? :paranoid:

It's a nice shot at a video other than it seems to be implying that people who visit MDV don't understand the rules...

[Streetz]

I really liked the video editing in alaxam's video and I believe it was a mistake on their part with regard to the Sudden Death / Counterspell issue. I'm sure they will correct that. (Hope they will). :E

[Cashew]

Yeah I saw the mistake too, I private messaged him. Made a couple other suggestions if they were to do an edit on how they could improve it.

Overall it was pretty well done though.

[alaxam]

Oh man, I feel incredibly stupid.

Other than that, thanks all for the criticisms and feedback. It's pretty awesome that within a couple hours you guys are already offering suggestions.

I am leaving for vacation in about an hour and will be gone for 2 weeks, so I think I will get back in barely enough time to fix up my video.

Thanks everyone!

[Old Fogey]

alaxam, I like your post, but I don't think you can use a Counterspell on a Split Second card.

Post moved. Please read the first posts before posting in submission only threads. Thanks.

Sorry, for some reason I missed the blue "here" this time...

[CopySix]

I was a bit tentative about submitting
(mainly due to having no free time to properly make an entry)
but did anyway . . .

(apologies in advance) :(

[Streetz]

Thank you, CopySix for the compliment and for the entry. :)

[alaxam]

Posting here to let everyone know that I edited my entry post to contain the link to my redone entry.

[ChampionKitsune]

hmmm...hate to sound like I'm begging, but I bookmarked this weeks ago and promptly forgot about it. But as you said in the rules, you guys will choose a winner if there are several entries of good quality. Does this mean the deadline can be extended, as there are currently only two entries?

[Streetz]

I am strongly thinking of extending the deadline another week.

[ChampionKitsune]

Really? Because that would be ballin'.

[Streetz]

In fact, I am extending the deadline. The new deadline is next Tuesday, 9/1/09.

[CopySix]

I was sort of hoping for a few more entrants by today's deadline . . . :(

[Streetz]

Me too. They have until the end of the day. :)

[ChampionKitsune]

Well, best luck to, er, both of you!
I only regret that one of the busiest weeks in recent memory had to be this past one :(

[alaxam]

thanks

don't you hate it when that happens?

[CopySix]

Did we get a winner yet ?

[Streetz]

The winning entry is Alaxam's. I will make an announcement on MDV Main this week. Sorry for the delay guys. And thank you to all submissions. I truly appreciate everyone's time and effort. Both were excellent entries. The staff voted Alaxam the winner. :E

[alaxam]

yay! i won!

good job, CopySix, i thought your video looked very professional and awesome

streetz- how are we going to do the prize? (paypal etc?)
