The Goal: Design a video to be uploaded on youtube that sells our Damnation Cataclysm realm at Eternal-WoW to the masses.
The Reward: 0 - 25VIP All submissions can potentially be rewarded based on quality.
The Deadline: 9/25/11 at 12PM server time you may post the links to your video as a comment to this post.

How the rewards will be given:
The administrators will review all the submissions at the close of the contest and evaluate each video on the following categories:
1. Overall quality of story or presentation.
2. Flow/Transitions between scenes.
3. Video quality.
4. Music (How well the song fits into each part of the video) .
5. Originality (Impress us with some creative ideas and scenes people).



In my mind there are two kinds of videos: story based and feature based. In the past, many videos have focused entirely on discussing the features of our realms (feature based). In this contest both types are accepted. Consider it to be like the short trailer for a movie that is coming out that tells some intense, epic story of love, war, or the like. If that isn't your then style show us all the new features on the realm and some of the gameplay. However, please do as you wish and only take these comments as hints, as what matters is the overall quality of the video and no two are ever alike.

On this note, if you do indeed choose feature based, it is recommended to outline the brand new features in cataclysm that are present and working on the realm: new areas, content, races, gear, bg's, etc.

Tips and Basic facts that should be illustrated in the video:

Keywords: Make sure Eternal-WoW is in the title of the video along with the keywords "Cataclysm wow private server" and in your title and detail, and include a link to http://www.eternal-wow.com in the description along with "set realmlist logon.eternal-wow.com".
Go HD: Make it in HD, 720p+. Avoid bars on sides or top/bottom, if possible.
Keep it short and sweet: 2-5 minutes long should be a good time anything longer is unnecessary.
Good editing: More than 2-4 seconds of the same scene on a video is like an eternity, keep each scene or shot short to make a better quality video. HINT: We are impressed by quality editing!
Sync to music: Include music that follows with the tempo and theme of the scene playing in the video. HINT: We are impressed with good syncronization of editing and music!
Show working features of the realm/core: Battlegrounds, spells, talents, instances etc., particularly if you choose to go "feature based" on your video. You could organize different scenes with a group of friends to show some epic PVP! If you go "story based", you can avoid features if it impedes the story.
Summary:I said this before, but I'll say it again the difference between a good video and a bad video are the ones that keep scenes short, clean, intense, and to the point. Videos that just show a straight minute of PVP, or Battlegrounds just end up being complete fail.

Please don't trash each others videos in the comments as the real goal here is to increase player count through video advertising.

@spook : But that´s not all, try to get Fraps to record, the quality is always HD and maybe get the trial version of Sony Vegas. If you really want to learn how to cut/edit videos, watch tutorials.
