Very nice idea! Good video as well! I'll definately get started! One question - the YouTube video states that it must be a music video, but I didn't see that here. So I want to make sure I do it right.

Very good question Tender We had a few similar from the Guild Wars Video Makers group on Youtube so I will post them here with our responses


HatariSamaki (2 days ago)
Having never done one of these comps, I have a question as to what consitutes a Halloween theme. Can it be a spooky/horror type vid that doesn't necessarily provoke an instant "that's Halloween" reaction or do my chars need to wear pumpkin heads in each scene? In other words, does the vid need to have an obvious Halloween link or can it just "fit the season" so to speak. I understand there's a gray (or grey) area there, but some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

oggycheese (2 days ago)
That's my question too, if it was just a general horror movie sort of thing, I think I would be able to do one, but I struggle to think of something that's specifically Halloween themed.

QueenKitiara (1 day ago)
Yes guys you can do a vid that is general Horror because it fits with what would be promoted on say "tv" because it is befitting for Halloween - so if your vid would be something i might see on "Tales from the Crypt" then it's acceptable...Just do a search of it and you will find tons of examples

tidusyumemiru (23 hours ago)
It needs to be either: eerie, spooky, scary, horror, or just plain dancing in jea as candy corn to creepy music! as long as in some way it can be identified with the spirit of 'Halloween' and is recognizable to the judges as 'Halloween themed'

Here is a great example of what kind of video we are talking about:
Heard It Through The Graveyard by falinrogette of [Rain]

QueenKitiara
Pants you can submit your vid using some non GW material but keep in mind the judges will be considering if the video captures the spirit of Halloween IN Guild Wars - so I highly recommend your video is dominately and unquestionably Guild Wars and Halloween themed


jazzbunny
Pantsma, I think you need to ask Kiti and co. about that one. I personally kept to GW only, except the initial title screen (I liked the macabre of having real skulls before the film began). But that was because I submitted my entry to the Anet art comp too.

QueenKitiara
Yes Jazz your vid is a great example of keeping things within the explanation I gave Pantsama A vid like yours is still obviously predominately GW.

Hey guys just to be clear only one submission per contestant can actually place in the top 3 ranks. This is to ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of making into the top 3. However you can submit a maximum total of 2 if you like but we will only allow your highest ranking one to place; hope that makes sense
So far we have 26 entries and I know there are more coming! Thanks for making this competition a great success!

Thanks Wolfie! We are honored to have so much support from BladeRadio

Roc is right, any of you Guild Wars video makers that have at least ONE posted GW video on Youtube is qualified to join the GWVM group; We have lots are recognizable members including Jack McDaniels We feature the newest GW's videos that you make so that fellow members can watch/rate and enjoy what you have created; we also have discussion threads about contests, events, and casting needs for filmakers.

As for the tons of gold and green weapons Roc mentioned, Let's just say that i had to unload one full char with 2 Rune of Holding bags full of UNIDENTIFIED req 9's and 10's because my OTHER 2 chars holding prize giveaways for this competition were full! There is no doubt that wherever one places in this contest that the winnings will be wonderful!

To listen to BladeRadio.com
<-a Guild Wars Radio Station:
Blade Radio is easy to find
Go to: http://www.bladeradio.com/ and towards the right u click high or low quality to hear the live online GW's radio -most dj's hang in LA American d1

1.The Dj's announce and hang out in Guild Wars towns when they do there shows, these are good places to find people partying for videos.
2. Everyone can PM them while playing to win game prizes and get on air shoutouts and make music requests.
3. It's a lot of fun having your whole team jamming to the same music.

Thumbs up Guild Wars Video Makers Group we need your vote!

We value your different styles in video making and in hopes of ensuring fair judgment of everyone's hard work we would like to have every member submit their top 3 choices from the submitted videos in the competition.

Thank you for making this a record breaking participation event guys! Reign Alliance and Blade Radio was happy to give back to the community but even more thrilled to see the event appreciated and embraced. It's extremely important to us that all the hard work of those that submitted are given the fairest judging possible and in order to do so we created a voting system we believe will ensure a balance in the power of the vote. No one group holds heavier weight than another. So be sure to participate and know your vote makes a difference!

Sincerely,
The [Rain] Alliance

Judges Panel for the Halloween Competition:

Judges will be sorted into four groups, the total average of the group will represent one vote in order to maintain a fair and balanced voting system. These four panels are comprised of the following groups:

1) The [Rain] Alliance
2) The DJ's of Blade Radio (issuing Honorable Mentions)
3) The Members of GWVM group
4) The Contestants themselves

Contestants will not be able to vote for themselves. All who are willing to vote must submit in order their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place choices. Voting is open after 31 October midnight GMT and must be sent from the voter's youtube mail to QueenKitiara (voting will be kept confidential) no later than 9pm GMT on November 1st (This is a very short window of Time so don't forget to vote!)

Please consider the following factors when evaluating the videos

1) Did the video follow the rules of the required use of the Halloween theme and use of music that fit the
Halloween theme as well (without expletives or inappropriate behavior).

2) Overall Entertainment value, were you impressed; would you watch it over and over?

3) Level of Originality: Something new? interesting? did it capture the essence of Halloween in GW?

4) Level of Difficulty: Was it one person just dancing in LA or was the video telling a story possibly matching
the lyrics with emotes, clever group interaction, good camera work/ angles.

5) Editing choices: Was the editing appropriate for the video? did it enhance the music or feel of the video,
did the editor use good taste when choosing to use or not use effects? Did the editing make a difference in
its entertainment value.

To our fellow GWVM's with inquiries about the submission rule:

Originally, we only allowed one submission, but after finding some people didn't read the rules and had already done the work we felt ill at the thought of saying "too bad you can't submit that" so we felt the best compromise was to allow multiple submissions with the best one selected by voters being the final submission in hopes they place as best as possible

I had made that suggestion by emulating how ArenaNet was conducting their current Halloween competition; however, we don't want the competition to become out of hand with submissions being sent to outdo the person before them so in order to keep the competition civilized we will keep the maximum amount of submissions to be a total of 2. Again, only one may place and I would think it extremely rare that 2 would be of equal quality. Since this is not like the lottery and basing entries on a game of chance but rather a quality and entertainment evaluation, I think this compromise allows the videomaker who wants to win the most a chance to really put forth their best effort without enabling anyone to abuse the system.

That being said remember that the GWVM group will count as one panel of judges. This is to ensure a balance of power of the vote, we believe that videomakers should have a voice in what they believe equals a winning submission and that may vary from what our small alliance believes in; therefore, by having judging panels we can get a more cohesive opinion overall as to which video truly deserves the top three positions.

We will not be evaluating by view count or ratings so don't worry about that. It has already been reported that someone has put a one star rating on a submission and further nullifies judging by that system. By only accepting votes from fellow GWVM group members who must email from their account; we ensure integrity as well as no manipulation of numbers from a popular vote by a large guild kindly trying to support a guildie.

I hope this gives you insight to our deeply thought out process. I really appreciate you coming to us with your (and the others') concerns. If you feel that our decision was not reasonable please submit a petition of names requesting the "only one submission rule" and we can then discuss the matter further.

Thanks so much for coming to us, we want this to be a fun, fair, and exciting experience for everyone

Sincerely,
Kitiara &
The Reign Alliance

That submission was mine, Jazz saw that someone put 1 star.

I'm glad vid views and ratings don't count, ppl who entered are more popular than others.

Btw,can I vote on Halloween? Coz of my time stuff and all that [I'm going to a festival of fire on the 1st!] I might not get a chance to vote laterr.

Btw,don't mistake it for Jazz giving it 1 star,he's a big fan of my work anyway,so I wouldn't see why he'd give it 1 star,and look at his comment on my page if you don't believe me.

Awesome, cheers BladeWind and that External Hard Drive is EPIC! I seriously cannot believe that's the prize lol. To be honest, that's sort of what convinced me to join in the first place as well as it being an awesome contest obviously, but I was going to buy an External Hard Drive to put all my files on while I reinstalled windows because it is currently riddled with viruses, it looks like a very useful. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not telling you that to convince me to win or anything like that, I'm not that kind of person Good luck to everyone entering! This has been a very very fun comp indeed. Also, are we allowed to vote if we have entered? I wouldn't vote for my own obviously xD
