DoD Movie Contest

tenks · Post by **tenks** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 10:36 pm

Just kinda wanted to throw this out there and see what y'all think..Shiz and I were talking about a personal DoD movie competition but I started thinking it'd be fun to have more than just between us. Kinda spice things up a little bit around here..like the region's cup or draft etc...I was thinking It'd be a heads up 1v1 kinda thing, like once ever 2-3 weeks or month? (enough time to gather clips and make it). The competitors would get all the same clips and its up to them to edit and make something cool with it. Community votes on the winner, poll based format. Winner moves on to the next round..

I assume there'd be a limited # of people doing this, like maybe 4..so it'd only be a few rounds..Could turn out kinda cool.

thoughts?

Good idea if you can find the moviemakers.

Cool idea. I call being able to submit a clip

Why not use fotw's for the footage? Then you can get plenty to work with and we can get some to watch this season.

cassinoroyale · Post by **cassinoroyale** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 6:06 am

We were supposed to have fotw's last season but I believe none of them went through either for the moviemakers being busy or because they didn't received good clips to work on. I support this idea, lets see how our Camerons, Spielbergs, Bays, Shyamalans, etc will do!

Good idea.

People should upload timed demos(and ts3/vent recording if possible).
Is there any rules right now or is it "you're free to do what the hell you want to do"? (solo/duo/team movies? Mininum/Max length of the movie? etc)

neat idea tenks.

i bet we could have at least 6 solid moviemakers in this.

I haven't put too much thought into it, but I think the only necessary rule is that everyone uses/has access to all the same ingredients. clips/times/vent recordings etc. Just like Iron Chef. Its up to the chef to make the final dish.

I don't think there should be really any other rules..at least that I can think of at the top of my head...not even a time limit. Well maybe a generic one, like "dont go over 10 minutes" or something..

tenks · Post by **tenks** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 9:15 am

little mornin wake and bake just opened up the flow of creativity to my brain...

As far as rules/voting...Im digging the whole Iron Chef set up. A simple poll vote won't do...

How about a few categories (scoring 1 out of of 10) to be judged on?

Quality (like taste the most important, simply was the movie good/entertaining)
A/V sync (self-explanitory)
Presentation (basically style/effects/prettyness)
Originality (speaks for itself)

thoughts?

Yeah, I agree with you! Every team should record vent/ts3 for a few matches under this season(2-4 people/team. Not good if the guy that records start having trouble with anything without warning and it's not recording anything), and than it's up to the judges to pick demos from a few matches.

I'll fuckin lose on quality and presentation(specially effects)

Also we maybe should have

Music ( If the person who watch the movie enjoy the music or think it's crap)

stevehisey_ · Post by **stevehisey_** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 11:49 am

why don't we start by doing like a clip contest... of like one of our favorite clips of all time. We could search 1911 forums and gotfrag forums for old demos and use whatever we want. Like if I were to remake dan "scorch" schey's 9 kill streak on harrington against pandemic.

acetamino · Post by **acetamino** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 12:05 pm

I think everyone should submit clips to this thread after next weeks matches and maybe one fotw will be completed

sorry, one can never be too careful! If we let him enter, he'll say he'll make a movie just to troll us and it will never be made.

I personally wouldn't want this to turn into a frags of the week vid contest because we're limited to only the current clips that are produced (the pool of talent is less these days) and also some people's movie style might be more than just a strait frag movie..Like myself.

I personally don't think music should be a category that is judged, it should just kinda fall under A/V sync....I say that because you can have an amazing video. editing/presenstation/sfx etc...But then if the person hates your taste in music, or just happens to dislike the song you used, they'll down rate/vote you. Its hard to please everyone with music..

yea, well you're just going to have to sit tight then ricky..

p.s. All movies should be rendered out in at least 720p

JaGGoNdd · Post by **JaGGoNdd** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 2:15 pm

I thought the point was for everyone to be working with the EXACT same footage. I feel as though a few of you kinda missed out on that point.

ComptonAssTony · Post by **ComptonAssTony** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 2:42 pm

Neat idea, here's my two cents.

1. Like Corey said, the footage pool or whatever would have to be the same for all competitors. As much as I love some of the older rapeage clips like scorch destroying pandemic or kellen killing everything, I'm a bit burnt out on reused footage. Therefore why not make it a glorified FOTW over two or three weeks of footage. Take submissions, select 10 or however many clips to be used for everyone, then get at it.

2. OR you guys could go a different direction and each make a two week FOTW. Arcane Studios used to make some really good FOTWs back in the day, it almost felt like a mini competition between some of their staff. Since there were four contestants (I think) wouldn't that fit perfectly over an 8 week season? I guess that's not ideal since it would be harder to judge if someone got shafted with a chemille/solitude combo vesus a harrington/rr2 or something along those lines.

These two ways would guarantee new footage and plenty of HLTVs and possibly vent recordings/shoutcasts though. Whatever's decided I'll gladly submit to

I dunno if you were refering to me corey, but that's exactly what I said, everyone gets the same footage and has to use that footage..As far as the old footage comment, it's not like if one person has clips, they can't upload and share it for everyone. I dont see how that changes anything?

Tony I can see how older footage might be boring for some..I understand that...But I think the simpler we make this, the better chance it will actually happen and finish. Tying in with it being a FOTW really limits things and ties us down to whatever TPG is doing at the moment and what their schedule is...And the potential of FF's shitty clips etc. People not submitting...We should just get clips that are already out there.

A set amount of clips should be decided upon by the contestants/community/whoever. And if this is successful maybe it can expand..But I think we should just chose some of the top of the top clips out there from the best players.

other thoughts on some rules:

-720p minimum
-when judged/voted upon the videos shouldn't be labeled with who made them. that way there is no bias
-no country music

Nah its cool bro, I'm sure you're good. I was just joking. THere is a guy who always promises to make people's movies but dissapears and never does, trolling whoever. He always aliases and I saw that you had a low post-count so I was joking that you were him.

-no country music

Jason good thinking for allowing no names, it would be interesting to see if our community can figure out who makes what based on individual editing styles. Although the HD idea is nice, people such as myself (although I won't be participating) have pretty issues like space requirements or an older computer. I can't really get past rendering in 1024x600 as an example.

Yea the 720p was more wishful thinking on my part. Im a snob when it comes to that stuff. I figured everyone who could and IS making movies of any kind would be doing so at least 720p/HD at this point in time. But I defiantly don't want to make a rule that would prevent someone from participating, that's not my style (cough tpg).

I also thought it was necessary because I'm afraid someone might get a lower score/vote just cause they have a lower resolution video. I can see someone making a badass edit and rendering it out at 800x600 and losing to a mediocre edit at 1080p just because the 1080p would look cleaner and nicer..I was just trying to make the playing field as even and as fair as possible.

Cutting out the names of who made something would also remove biases towards voting. I'm assuming, as this is completely for fun and nobody has anything to gain, you wouldn't run the risk of somebody telling others to vote for them.

I can't tell if you're for or against it, but yes that's the point, removing biased towards voting. It doesn't matter if its for fun or not, people are people, and they will find a way to gain an advantage. In this case getting all their friends to vote for them.

People play dod for fun, there is nothing to gain from that either, yet people still hack and cheat.

Cutting the names from submitted videos won't hurt anything, so I don't see why it shouldn't be considered. If anything it prevents this from turning into a popularity contest.

Yeah, only reason being if you don't want the voters to know who made what, it's a dead give away what video jaggon made, he's the only one that uses that bigger white crosshair. Not a huge deal to me though just throwing that out there.

haha, I didn't even think about that. That goes to show you how many dod movies I've actually watched start to finish (maybe 1 or 2) and paid attention to. They all look the same to me, no offense, just frags to music. Nothing has really stood out to me in years, except maybe Mutiny 2?
