Can we do teams? For example, one person does the taping / rough stuff and they send that to another person who fixes / cleans it up and/or adds special effects?

The prize would obviously be split between them.

ThunderHog - That is Ok. The prize would be split up amongst all people involved in that video.

Re: August 2009 Promotional Video Contest -- Discussion Thread.
Well, since no one really seems to be entering, I guess I'm just gonna post my mind here.

Who wants to be on my team? I have a video camera and I wouldn't mind taping some random stuff - granted, I would have no idea what exactly to tape, but it would most likely be humorous to some extent. Thing is, is that I have no clue how to refine stuff - meaning once I made the video I really don't have anything to edit it with or add effects of any kind. Anyone here adept in that department?

Re: August 2009 Promotional Video Contest -- Discussion Thread.
I watched the first submission from alaxam. Pretty good, but it has one big problem: you can't Counterspell a Sudden Death!

Re: August 2009 Promotional Video Contest -- Discussion Thread.
My thoughts exactly; Responding to Sudden Death with Counterspell?

It's a nice shot at a video other than it seems to be implying that people who visit MDV don't understand the rules...

I really liked the video editing in alaxam's video and I believe it was a mistake on their part with regard to the Sudden Death / Counterspell issue. I'm sure they will correct that. (Hope they will).

Yeah I saw the mistake too, I private messaged him. Made a couple other suggestions if they were to do an edit on how they could improve it.

Overall it was pretty well done though.

Re: August 2009 Promotional Video Contest -- Discussion Thread.
Oh man, I feel incredibly stupid.

Other than that, thanks all for the criticisms and feedback. It's pretty awesome that within a couple hours you guys are already offering suggestions.

I am leaving for vacation in about an hour and will be gone for 2 weeks, so I think I will get back in barely enough time to fix up my video.

Thanks everyone!

Re: August 2009 Promotional Video Contest -- Submission Thread.
alaxam, I like your post, but I don't think you can use a Counterspell on a Split Second card.

Post moved. Please read the first posts before posting in submission only threads. Thanks.

Sorry, for some reason I missed the blue "here" this time...

I was a bit tentative about submitting
(mainly due to having no free time to properly make an entry)
but did anyway . . .

Re: August 2009 Promotional Video Contest -- Discussion Thread.
hmmm...hate to sound like I'm begging, but I bookmarked this weeks ago and promptly forgot about it. But as you said in the rules, you guys will choose a winner if there are several entries of good quality. Does this mean the deadline can be extended, as there are currently only two entries?

I am strongly thinking of extending the deadline another week.
