29-Jan-2010 - RuneScape Machinima Competition 2

[Sea_dragon35]

Everyone loves a good YouTube video, right? Well, following the success of our last machinima competition it's fair to say many people love to make them too. To that end, we will be launching the Orb of Oculus camera tool next week to allow even more creativity for RuneScape filmmakers, which should come in handy for those looking to enter the competition!

 

The first machinima competition was pretty straightforward: make a short machinima using RuneScape. This time, however, we're introducing a theme to spice things up a bit. We want you to make us an advert for something within RuneScape!

 

It could be anything from a location to a shop, a monster or an item, or even a whole skill. Alternatively, you may want to advertise a RuneScape business (e.g. your restaurant or wrestling federation) or a tournament you have planned. In short, you can advertise just about anything, so long as it exists within RuneScape.

 

The winner will receive lifetime membership to RuneScape, a tour of the studio to meet the people who make RuneScape happen, and an invitation to a Jagex event to be held later this year. The event is very much in the planning stages at the moment, but we'll be sure to elaborate as the event takes shape. Meanwhile, four runners-up will each receive lifetime RuneScape membership.

 

If all of this has got your creative juices flowing and you think theres a place for you in Gielinor's advertising agency, then you should visit this dedicated competition thread for more details, competition rules, J-mod support and an FAQ. Alternatively, you can see the rules and an example advertisement made by last year's winner, Excl, on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/runescape.

 

Well be posting a selection of entries on the channel throughout the course of the competition too, so if you love your machinima, show your support of the RuneScape video-making community by subscribing to the channel and telling them!

 

The best of luck to you all. May the competition commence!

Guess no new skill next week then :(

[Money Wasted]

Looks awesome :-D Time to get them creative juices flowing

[Sy_Accursed]

Considering they jsut posted this and it clearly is dated the 29th, how come you put 28th? lolz

[WhiteHorn]

The videos must not be longer than only 30 seconds this time...

 

I hope the orb is not the only update next week or the rants forum will be blown up.

[Da_Latios]

Orb of Oculus next week = :grin:

Though I'll mostly use it for pictures, not movies.

My bad, solved.

 

And I was really hoping for an update other then this, I hope the orb is not the only update next week.

[BloodAngel]

Now that is a reward that has got me interested :grin:

Might give it a go just for the laughs and possibility of winning a lifetime of RS membership :^_^: They don't actually define "lifetime" though, could mean until your character dies in RS :P

[Mercifull]

Looks fun. I might attempt one myself :)

[Toad]

I'm going to advertise sailing.

 

I'll get thinking later

[Youmu]

I'm not interested at all in machinima. :mellow:

 

And I don't really care when the new skill gets released either.

[Turnpike]

I am not really interested too much. :\

Yawn. It's a bad sign when Jagex are now making update annoucements for future updates on the main page instead of making the annoucement when it is ACTUALLY RELEASED. Plus, machinima does not interest me in the slightest and the amount of attention Jagex are starting to give it is annoying to say the least. Less 'soon' more 'now'

The announcement is for the Machinima Competition, not the Orb of Oculus. They're keeping their promise to start it by the end of January.

 

And for those of you complaining, it's fairly obvious the Orb of Oculus won't be the only game update next week.

[Ezz]

Sounds great :D I'll try to make an entry if I'm not too busy.

[XxTearGodxX]

I hope that is not the only update next week, some god damn rinky dink camera.

[Den]

30 seconds was rather short. Youtube might blow up from all the ads. :P

[Dire_Wolf]

It's hard to make a good video when voicing dominates most Runescape videos.

[RSBDavid]

It's hard to make a good video when voicing dominates most Runescape videos.

 

 

and when those whom have a subscriber and fan base are most likely to dominate.

 

I think I will advertise the Fally general store pot.

[Toad]

30 seconds? Im gonna speak like.. really really fast, and you'll have to slow it down to like milliseconds to hear it make it like 70 frames per seconds so its actually 1 min 30 worth.

 

I have a good idea - but I'll have to filter the bad and try and get a good contrast in there, in 30 seconds hmm.. well I don't have a fanbase so.. I'll have to buy peoples votes.. 60k trade limit between 6 people starting now, GO GO GO GO

[Troacctid]

I like the theme this time. Should make for some good submissions.

That's because voicing is better. :razz:

[Kimberly]

Please, for the love of god, that better not be the only thing released next week.

[Toad]

Please, for the love of god, that better not be the only thing released next week.

 

Nope there's more moar moar more

Thank the heavens. They mentioned variety in the announcement and, thinking back on the twitter hint, I was scared. >_>

[Saru Inc]

I do appreciate what Jagex is trying to do with this Orb, but it doesn't sound very fun at all; I will hate it like most other updates. It may grow on me; but as for right now it looks like a piece of crap that will most likely be bug filled, and the only update for 4 months.

[Mirror]

Eh, I might as well try. Never made a film (in Runescape) before and I could deal with lifetime membership :P
