Ok so I got even busier, so even closer if I will be able to participate. Perhabs I need to change my current idea to a bit smaller one

Anyway Minami, found another way to possibly remove some motion blur from a photo ( I know you have CS5, so do I, so you must have this feature!)

Filter>Sharpen>Smart Sharpen. There you got a little option says Remove: There you can select Motion blur aswell. If you set it on advanced, you can adjust alot of settings, so try it out for a while, see where it gets you

Hope it helps!

I guess I could screenshot my Sony Vegas timeline and stuff. (That's actually not a bad idea.

Yes! Jooooiiiiiin ussssssss....!

Well, you could always show different stages of the video making. Like... put up a half-finished video as a wip or write down your thought process while making it, kind of like a diary-type thing. You can write about why you chose specific bits for the video, what you did to get them, etc. People would also be able to comment on your work and help out if you let them know what you're making and how you're planning on doing it.

@Tommy's: Sometimes simple is better!

If you come up with a really brilliant idea, it could even work as something really simple.

And you get the spoiler by putting [ spoil] and [ /spoil] around the text. without the space ofcourse

ah, i put spoiler instead of spoil. that would be why it didnt work

I sketch very lightly because I usually change things a half bazillion times before I like it. I HATE when stuff doesnt erase cleanly..which is why I would like to start using digital, but we'll see. But yes, guesses so far are correct lol a face and a snowglobe.

I actually do love winter, its beautiful...as long as I dont have to drive in it >.< still trying to find a way to put a heater under the roads so the snow melts

Glad to see the snow start, but always glad to see it go too

All right, I talked to Regina and she informed me of the following:

- The official contest will be a regular one, NOT like wintersday hat design or similar.

- The wintersday contest won't have a separate category for costumes this time around.

- If we want a bigger, more all around party, the official site would display the art event as a community news update.

Please note that these infos can change anytime (nothing's for sure unless it already happened, right?

), I'll do my best to get updates and inform you guys if anything changes.

Thanks Minami!
Would be nice to see more people enter. I love seeing new artwork

Tommy's · Nov 15, 2010, 10:22 PM // 22:22

They will once the official contest has been announced

I'm most sure that ArenaNet will put a link to this thread on the official site aswell.

And thnx for the headsup Minami

Arghore · Nov 15, 2010, 10:26 PM // 22:26

@Minami, i'll PM this instead ...

@Infested, do like any normal video is made? ... write a script, if only a list of what you think the vid will be; make story board, just a couple of simple scetches of the story; start your project, make screenshots at various stages (or do a pre-render some 30-60% in); if you have music in it, post it or have us pick one if you have multiple and wonder which to pick ... tons of ways to convey progress on a movie

... maybe a .gif trailer with various screenshots ... get creative

@All, this workshop has already made the news

... over at *cough* GuildMag

OMG?! You talked to her?! Can you please, please ask her if literature is considered art for the contest :beg: I never did hear back from her when I asked myself D:

BTW, <3 <3 <3 to you for helping with the workshop

I'm not sure what I have in my storage to donate, but I can at least do 100k

<OK, going back to hiding and doing work

Will pop back out next week when RL calms down and have some WiPs hopefully

@InfestedHydralisk: Yay, you're entering!

Can't wait to see what you come up with. :3

@Minami: Ooh, thanks for getting the info for us. Here's hoping they'll post up the contest soon, otherwise I'll feel like I've gotten too much of a head start....

@Arghore: Eeee, we're famous! GuildMag is awesome btw. <3

@Ravenhawk: Haha! Yeah, somehow I find it easier to come up with ideas for Halloween too.... there's just something about ghosts and scary things that gets the creativity flowing.

@PenguinoO: Aww... :/ No time even for a small entry?

So many replies during the night, it's always fun to get online in the mornings and wade through the posts.

Come on, more WIPs people!

Aeronwen · Nov 16, 2010, 11:00 AM // 11:00

Is my pc playing up or are most ppl’s wip sites empty?
