Alright everybody, I'd really like to get a fan-vid contest going, but instead of just coming up with something random or cliche', I'd like to hear all of your thoughts, suggestions, input, etc, etc. I'd really like to get a nice idea of what it would take to get people REALLY involved in this part of the forum. I've been kicking some ideas around, but haven't come up with anything that's out of the ordinary as of yet. So, what type of contest would it take to get YOU to be hooked into this part of the forum?  |

Ideas.... You can make a contest oriented on one character, for example all videos must be around John. Also, you can choose a theme for the song, like you can use disco music (kidding LOL) or the period in which the music must be, like the 90s ... or must be from a specific band. Another idea could be to reward the winners with a special banner. People love to display that they won something!  Finally, you can also use the 'trailer' theme.... You ask people to create their vision of what a nice trailer could be! I hope it's enough lol !!!! |

I think we may do that. That's a great idea! As a matter of fact, I'd like to see a contest of someone making an opening for the TV show while including the terminator theme!  |

I would love to get a video project going, I'm not sure I'm equipped for getting video into my PC to begin with.
I have a HDMI I/O card on the PC, but have only been able to capture vidio with the barebones utility it comes with.
I have a copy of Sony Vegas Pro 8 still sealed, I'm hoping that will make capture a lot easier?

Anyone needing help with video capture and ripping disks to make videos- PM me- I can help. As for a video challenge- how about a trailer? Make your own character focused trailer- your choice who you profile. I'd love to see a couple of them done with the Terminators.
DFM- if you want I have a template for rules etc and am happy to take care of curating entries and then you can enter a video too!
We can advertise on the SCS website to get new folks who make fan vids to enter as well. Let me do some work- I can whip up a basic trailer for the contest.
Does everyone like the idea of a single character study video? Is a trailer too short or how about two categories- trailer and full length video? I know I can get some of my video making Sarah fans who don't come over here much to participate.
Cheers!

If everyone is ok with our first contest being a character study- I will work up a trailer for the contest tonight. I have the rules pretty much done- will post it all in a day or two. Who wants to be on the judging panel? The way I have done video contests which works well is to have 2 or 3 forum members who are not entering videos be judges. We watch all of the videos and we pick some special awards to go along with the overall winners. For example- best Terminator video, best Sarah Video etc and the forum members will get to have a general vote on the overall winner for the contest.
Sound good? Who wants to join the judging panel? You would ideally be reviewing the videos as they are submitted then offering up your take on things when the contest closes so once the forum voting is done we can announce everything.

See the official contest area at the top of our forums board- video contest is up! I need volunteers for judging- you just need to like viewing videos- no video making skills required I posted the announcement on our blog, on the three Smallville sites I hit constantly OSCK, CCC and DI, also on TVFreeload and in the SpoilerTV forums. I will contact some of my video making friends directly too- if you post info about the contest somewhere- please make a note of it here so we can get an idea of how much publicity we are generating. Thanks! Cannot wait to see what videos come in! Make sure this goes on our new MySpace page |
