[align=center]Welcome to
Earth's Special Forces
Forum Competition III (THREE)[/align]
Are you a frequent visitor of the ESF forums? Do you want access to THE ultimate headquarters of ESF information and want to see exclusive ESF news and media in advance? Well these competitions are here to give you free access to the Force Pit aka Phil's home.
The forum regulars should remember the previous two forum copetitions that were held on these forums last year. The first competition involved usage of the Fight Club system, and the winner SaiyanPrideXIX won free access to the force pit. The second competition involved the 2D still image skills and the winner SuperSaiyanChris won free access to the force pit for making the best forum banner (which is currently being used on our forum). Now it is time for our third forum competition... so what is it about?
You see, there is an individual on our team called Baby Joe (BBjoe for short, I'm sure everyone has heard of him!) and he is unable to sleep at night . Why? It's because we are running out of bedtime stories for BBjoe! This is very bad, we need more stories! And what's better than an audio-visual ESF story? Yes, BBjoe was so excited with this idea that we had to change his nappies! So here's how we're going to run this show:
You need to create a moving visual representation of a story you made up, using ingame ESF screenshots or renders. The first step will be to think up of an originial storyline which should involve either Dragonball Z characters or ESF team members. The next stage would be to convert this story into a movie or animation of some sort. This can be:
- A flash animation (preferred)
- A GIF animation (max 640x480 resolution)
- A powerpoint slideshow
We know that there are tons of animation related programs and technologies available on the internet, but we have to consider that the fact that a majority of the community is not familiar with such applications and file types. You may NOT submit a proper video file (AVI, MPEG) because of the immense amount of bandwidth such big files would use up, we don't want you paying bills for a free competition do we? While judging, we will award points for:
- Just the correct length (not too long or too short a story)
- Visual content and editing
- Audio content and editing (does not apply if you submit a GIF)
- The storyline itself
- Humour
So what are you waiting for, get working and start posting! Please do not post direct image ([.IMG]) tags for your entries, link them instead as many people on these forums are on a dial-up connection. And as always, the author of the winning entry will receive free access to the force pit! If the winning author already has access there, the runner up will get free access instead. Oh, and lastly - fans have till the 06th of June to post entries. Best of luck!
