September 2006
Deadline: September 30th
Beat-Use Boot Camp
Ten hut!
Today is a good day, for it is the day that you troops begin your training in one of the core aspects of vidding. Today, you will focus your skills on one main thing: beat use.
What is beat use? Let the sergeant talk, recruit. Beat use is the vidding method of changing clips to the drum beats (or otherwise) of the song, and following the feel of the music (such as by having a running scene in a very fast drum beat, or a slow meaningful scene once the music slows down). It’s quite often used to change from one clip to the next, but it doesn’t always have to. A flash of white in the middle of the clip right at the beat works too!
The vidders who have the skill to handle beat use have the skill to make practically any video good. It’s vital to be a full-fledged fighting marine – uh – vidder.
In this contest, you will be competing to produce a video with the best beat use possible. Other things, like story and originality, are still important too, but the beats are the money shots in this one. Find your most rocking song, and beat the hell out of it! You may use rap, electronica, or any type of music where you can sink your teeth into the beats.
At ease.
Specific Contest rules:• -Videos will be primarily judged on use of the beat.
• -Videos must stay interesting throughout the video, thus a shorter song is a lot easier than a longer one.
• -When using rap songs, try to keep it to a PG-13 level, okay?
• -When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "September 2006 contest submission" exactly for your vid's Description.
General Contest Rules: * -Contest submissions should be entered through the Submit page
* -All regular submissions Rules apply.
* -Only one entry per vidder
* -Videos already submitted and RELEVANT can be submitted again, but we would rather see something fresh. (Please contact a CM if you wish to enter a previously-submitted video)
* -Please do not use Megaupload, Rapidshare or Yousendit to host your files.
* -Keep in mind that however you choose to host your video, it must be available for download at least until the end of the month. If we can not access your video at the time of judgment it will not be considered.
* -Have fun!

Your geekiness just shines through in that information, Hobbes.
Awesome contest. Won't be entering though, I'm taking a vidding break to get all the eps back. But good luck to everyone who enters! _________________

I was torn between the fun army style "the great escape" theme, and the slightly odd but fun and beat-filled "danger! high voltage". You can try and guess which i went for.... _________________

I think this might be the most amazing contest we had in a while
--> *has a very soft spot for vids with butt kicking beat use*
Good luck, everyone! _________________

You know....I have no idea. I dunno if I'll even enter this song because I'm not even sure what angle I would use or a song....I may be a mid-month entry in this...I have to do some thinking. |
