Sounds like you have the raw footage, not a version that’s compressed and out put for viewing. You should be able to get it down below 100MB pretty easily. What file type is it?
How have people been compressing the video file to email it in? I cant seem to get it compressed to be able to send it… WinRar and 7zip just dont compress it at all… and gmail wont let me send it… any tips ?
How big is your file? I can probably look up an alternate sending method, depending on the size.
The videos do need to be 5 minutes or less, since we have some submitted already it wouldn’t be fair to extend the length at this point 🙁
There should be free editing software you can get online or that comes pre-installed on your phone you could use to clip the length.
Official Ts and Cs and some updated posted:
Summary –
-There will be a judging period and a voting period.
-We are going to have first, second, and third place prizes! Yay!
-If you have trouble emailing your entry, contact me and we’ll work it out.And voting is closed! I’ll be requesting the report on the voting to verify and then formally announcing the winner. 🙂
I still feel a bit unclear. Would we have some kind of rubric to vote by (as in, are we looking for video quality or what the person does to make it fresh/exciting) or would it just be “who do we think got the most fabulous piece”?
I really can’t dictate what people vote by. 🙂 The judging is done to specific criteria as the judging is done by a panel of people, but ultimately the voting on the individual videos comes down to whatever strikes the fancy of the person voting.
Also, just as a reminder, we DO check all votes now. If we see votes that are clearly a violation of the rules (accounts just created, by an entrant, for the purpose of voting), they will be removed and that entry will be disqualified.
Anything with voting will have some popularity contest aspects associated – I can’t do anything about that – but we do try to make it as fair as we can! 🙂
I’m with Kim on this one. Or at least, I don’t really understand what we would be voting on.
Which one you liked best.
We’re currently learning towards judging + voting (kind of our normal approach). The judging portion is mostly to try to make sure that the best of the entries get into the final round and it makes it less of just a popularity contest.
Well, the good news is that unless I find a serious rule violation since we got so few entries, they will all be up for you to vote for on 11/10! Yay!
So do we get to see the entries today? So curious as to what everyone did for this 😉
Yes – you must be east coast, it’s still SUPER early.
Um, let me ask! I’m still working out details with Melody (why there hasn’t been an update tonight – sorry guys!)
Yes for sure if it was blank PYO YOU purchased from the store, not sure about commissions. I’ll check and let you know.
Equally, I need to check and see if pieces you buy from ebay/other members are okay or if it needs to be direct from the store, Windstone’s Etsy page, or Windstone’s ebay offerings.
As always, Repaints are not allowed.
I’d like to participate in this Quest, I’m just not sure how to make it work out. For cheaper and faster shipping I had my GB poad sent to my US address and I will not actually be there until… uh… next Summer. XD; LOL. Is it possible to film maybe my mother opening it, and my reaction, and edit those together into a video?
You’d need to get her to sign the waiver since you’d have a person other than yourself in the video – but yeah, that should be fine otherwise.
Hmmm okay. I’ll talk to her about it, see what she says. Will there be a specific place to download/sign a waiver, or is it something I’ll need to draft up? (I know you guys have still been filling in the details and whatnot, so no super huge rush, I don’t think my poads are even due to arrive until Thursday according to tracking info.)
You need to email Ayonah for a copy of the agreement. I’ll try to get the official Ts and Cs up tomorrow – we were really busy today with home stuff.
