COMPETITION OUTLINE
Please read the following blurbs on each round and familiarize yourself with the challenges ahead. They are not subject to change - this is what you face in the coming days. Prepare yourselves.
Auditions | On Your Toes - August 10th, 2013 @ Midnight
You will be given a genre at random (based off of pulling corresponding numbers from a hat). Whatever genre you are given, you are stuck with - Unless you opt to then discard your number and chose from the "Challenge List". These genres have more interesting, but more complex concepts. They could make or break you. Once you've chosen a random number for the Challenge List, you are stuck with your random genre. Then, make a video with your given genre. Any characters, any story, any city, any time - just make it relate to your genre.
Round 1 | Friend or Foe?
You will be assigned to another vidder. Together, you must chose from one of two options:
OPTION 1 - COLLABORATION
Together, you two must collaborate to make a flawless story video. If the video passes onto the next round, you both pass onto the next round. But if the video fails, you both will be dismissed from the competition.
OPTION 2 - BATTLE
You two must create ONE back story together, but then chose different endings to edit. Your entries will then be judged against each other and the video with the highest score will move onto the next round. Ex. Your back story might be that Cloud and Lightning are siblings separated from birth. One Vidder A may then go on to edit about how they then find each other again and seek revenge on the person who separated them while Vidder B may edit a video about how they one later assassinates the other and finding out who they were later. Same back story, different endings.
Round 2 | Word Smith
You will be given three lists of generic words/characters/themes and be told to chose one word from each list. Then, using those words, create a story video.
Round 3 | Final Round // Free for All
This is it, the Final Three. Time to wow us, people.
Each round generally receives anywhere from 2 to 3 months depending upon the intricacy of the round. Extensions are rarely granted.
