Following the release of "cem - Alive" and "luckeR - Too Lucky" in the past weeks, today we are happy to present yet another TEK9 Cinema project.

"In The Spotlight" will however not be the name of a new movie, but instead will be an opportunity for moviemakers to show the public what they are capable of and possibly even win some great prizes.

Like the topic already mentions, In The Spotlight is a movie contest hosted by TEK9 Cinema. Everyone is allowed to compete and we will be providing the following prizes for the top10 finishes:


First Place
SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset
SteelSeries QcK Mousepad (TEK9 Edition)
Combi pass for the Antwerp Esports Festival

Second Place
SteelSeries Ikari Optical Mouse
SteelSeries QcK Mousepad (TEK9 Edition)
One-day pass for the Antwerp Esports Festival

Third Place
SteelSeries QcK Mousepad (TEK9 Edition)
One-day pass for the Antwerp Esports Festival

4 to 10th Place
Bouncer4You Bouncer


In The Spotlight focusses on Call of Duty 4 only, and participants are expected to meet the following requirements:

Requirements
Maximum Length: 3 minutes
Music: Free of choice
Game: Call of Duty 4
Maximum Resolution: 1280x720 for aspect ratio 16:9 or 1280x960 for aspect ratio 4:3
Upload: www.wipido.com

When it comes to the content, there are no restrictions. You are allowed to use your own footage, but shots from other players (for example from demos on the TEK9 website) are also permitted.

The deadline for the contest is in 4 weeks from now and will close the 22nd of June 2008, at 20:00 CET. In the week after, all submitted movies will be reviewed by the board (consisting of TEK9 Cinema members inFo- and MAXXUR, and TEK9 CoD4 player kammYz), after which 10 movies will be selected.

The 10 best movies will be presented to the public shortly after, including a streamed and a downloadable high quality version. The eventual winners will be decided by a public vote: a poll will be made available to all registered users.

The things that will be looked at
The Title
The Content
The Music and Sync
The Overall Feel
The Quality (resolution, video-quality and compression)

For the people interested in participating, below you can find the requirements. Movies can be submitted by uploading it to Wipido (www.wipido.com). Although Wipido provides a streamed (and lower res) version of the movie, we kindly ask all participants to upload a full/high quality version to Wipido. The admins are able to download the movie you uploaded in full quality, and will look at the resolution, video-quality and compression.

Important
When you've uploaded your movie to Wipido, send an email to armin[a_t]tek-9.net (replace the [a_t] with @). The topic of this email should be "In The Spotlight Movie Contest", while the mail itself should include your full name and the link to the Wipido stream.

what kind of music do u guys like? (A)
#58 Austria BIinFo- 2008-05-29 20:55:32
it's not about preference, the music has to fit the clip ;)
#59 Netherlands leetur 2008-05-29 23:25:50
k, so u guys 'totally' wont be like secretly hating the vid coz of it's music;p
#60 Belgium maxxur 2008-05-29 23:53:19
as for my concern, i like daring things as said before =)

ergo, linkin park, rammstein or another requiem for a dream theme remix is NOT done xD
#61 Netherlands leetur 2008-05-30 01:49:43
ok i just avi demo'd my first few frags and the screens seem to save as: TGA file which is 3.2mb each screenshot! anyone know what to do? tnx
coz it would be unpossible to have 20gb for like 10 frags right?

#62 Netherlands ownrr 2008-05-30 07:41:47
Vegas -> "Open As". Select the first screenshot and check the "Image Still Sequence" box. then you'll see that you have a little clip. then go to file -> render as -> take output container avi and template; uncompressed. this will turn your TGA screenshots into an avi file
#63 Netherlands leetur 2008-05-30 09:57:56
im so noob at this :S i did that and i play it, its slow like its playing with 10fps and a bit slowmo

1. soundforge/audacity, search forums on here, there are plenty of threads that will tell you what to do with the programs.

2. you can download a trial version of after effects from the adobe site, i think its a 30 day trial or something.
#72 Netherlands leetur 2008-05-31 17:42:55
kay and i got after effects already;p only one of the hardest programs to understand (in my opinion)
#73 Netherlands ownrr 2008-05-31 18:34:02
btw elfjuh. might be a bit harsh but this site/post is not on 'how to help a beginner', so you might wanna see some tutorials on ninteh.com or style-productions.

peace
#74 Netherlands leetur 2008-06-01 00:55:02

Is it strictly 3 minutes for the movie, or can we make it a little longer (3min54 for me)?
