I was thinking now that we've got BR working on the Servers - it might be fun to have a bigD movie competition.

 

 

BigD - Short Film Festival - 10

 

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x269/noddyonnode/bigD-Drive-In-Movie-Theater.gif

 

 

To celebrate the commencement of Season 6 of the bigD 10v10 ladder competition, along with the long awaited return of Battlerecorder files to BigD, we are pleased to announce our first short film festival.

 

All you wanna be cinematographers, dust-off your directors chair, start growing your goatee, and have the beret dry cleaned - you've got some work to do if you want your share of the glory!

 

Up for grabs is not only the Limited edition commendation award - the coveted Oliver Stone Wartime Cinematographer badge

but there is also the opportunity to make your mark on our community by choosing the server rotation (within reason) on Server 2 for a week!

 

 

Rules are simple:

Movie to be limited to approx 5 minutes

One entry per participant

Winners will be decided by popular community vote

Entry is open to all community members

Host your footage on Youtube - HD format preferred

Entries close 30 December 2010

 

 

 

I guess at this stage - I am just seeking feedback from the community on whether there is enough interest (understanding how labour intensive creating a good video is) to get this idea off the ground.

 

Please also add any suggestions comments :)

I got 40GB of recorded PR from ages ago back in the Wegame days

if the general consensus that date is unrealistic - more than happy to change it... this is just a bit of fun - definately don't have the sheep station riding on it (Uncle Darth said I was going too far when I suggested that the servers be renamed in honour of the winner :) )

(Uncle Darth said I was going too far when I suggested that the servers be renamed in honour of the winner :) )

not far enough imo, should be parades an such thrown in every population center bigger than 64 ppl (in honor of 64 player servers etc etc).

 

would love to as well but have no idea where to start )o:

There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
So what, we have to download the battlerecorder of a particular match and then make a movie? Sounds fun.

Can we make our own file? With actors and stuff. That'd be more exciting than just random files.

Few Questions about this.

 

1. Is there a limit to how long or short this film clip will be?

2. Will i be able to make my own BR Files to make the film more intresting?

3. Is 30th November a set date or will it be changed?

If you think you can make an interesting film based solely on your own first person perspective I say go for it :)

 

Do we get other badges for cinematography , actor and or actress ?

 

No - only have persmission for the awards committee for the one badge - I think I heard in a meeting they were running out of cotton to make them...

 

Can we make our own file? With actors and stuff. That'd be more exciting than just random files.

 

How are you going to make your own files? Host and pay for a server including the NAS to download the files or organise some mates to get on Server 3 and script your own movie? If the latter then

Footage from any file on Server 3 is acceptable
- so yes :)

 

Can we do a collaboration with 2-3 members?

 

See above

1 No - a 20 hour movie marathon was what we were looking for - I've booked the month of December out in my calender just for reviewing movies :p. In seriousness I think I read somewhere that an approx 5 min maximum would be appreciated.

2 See my response to Tempest's question

What we mean by making our own BR files is just jumping on Server 3 and acting some stuff out. Then we can download that BR file. Doesn't that make sense?

Yes thanks for clarifying - the answer is Yes - any footage is acceptable... As long as it's recorded on bigD servers. Should we increase this to include local servers - just so people can get a special shot / angle if they desire using single player bots???

i might just put my foot in this door and give it a try :p

 

also where may i proceed to retrieve those files?

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg

yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
