Well I'm wanting to finaly get to enter this year. But it just depends on if my sparing partner is up for it. We've been wanting to do an entry every year, and have had choreography that we've been working on since contest 2, but never got to film, (due to no camera). So I'll talk to him, and then give an official word on it.

Should be a few days before I get to though, but yeah.


And thank you so much for bumping the time to 7 minutes, I've been requesting that every year. lol.

peace

I would like suggestions on whether or not they should be able to take 1 inch outside diameter blades (for Luxeon LED light up purposes) or 3/4" OD blades (think carbon fiber or aluminum tubes) as well as if the emitter should be "rotoscope friendly" or have cut-outs. If you have a suggestion on this matter, please let me know via a PM.

Free hilts, man. That's up to you. It's mighty generous of you, too.

Good show.

I'd be willing to front-page the winner at rhys-works.com if anyone's interested in that. Would expose it to around a thousand hits a day or so, and at full-rez or thereabouts.

Sounds good Rhys. But 1000 unique hits or just hits?

Unique hits baby. Last six months we tend to fluctuate between about 500 and 2000.

I can't guarentee everyone will click on it, of course. Would be prepared to do append/prepend the video with something from the creator if required, voiceover, website link, introduction, whatever.

Yesh, I agree completely.

But one question about the hilts. By Custom, do you mean, of the winners design? Or do you just mean, that they'll be your designs, that aren't like any other sabers? Because sabers of the winners design would be awsome.

And I vote them to be stunt blade friendly, but with a cap for when the blades are out. (as in, a cap that will fill in the hole, and make it look like a solid show prop for wearing at conventions and whatnot.)

applause

They will be of my design. I want to make them before the contest submission deadline. I'm also not fond of making other people's designs (too time consuming and too easy to mess up). Sorry about that.

Actually the only hilts to not have holes in the emitters were the prequel hilts (except for Anakin's in Episode III). The OT had holes in the emitters and in my opinion it looks better that way (I love the look of the Graphlex saber). Even though lightsabers are fictional and bogus in every way, I still like to think that the energy from the blade/crystal needs to emit from something with a hole on top rather than a smooth, solid surface. Also it's more work for something that I'm not seeing a return on.

I'm defintely in. Good to hear about the extended production time, run time, and file size. I also agree that Making a youtube channel would be good to get viewers and perhaps people who are intrested in future contest. It could be fun to have 2 seperate polls. TFN members can choose the overall winner, and youtube viewers can pick a 'youtube favorite'. Just some ideas.

But either way, Im so in for this.

Hey. Does the same rule apply last year where we could enter more than one entry if we want. Someone on TFN lives near me, but not near enough for me to go all the time, since I get my drivers liscense in the end of march, so that would only give me two months to film and edit. So I was thinking I could film one sooner, and then if time permits I could film with the other person if he is okay with it once we talk.
Thanks
Bruce

Well I really want to enter this year and make something that isn't a load of crap (like last years) lol, but I'm just not sure if I know anyone that would want to help me out. Also, I have another two projects going on at the moment. So I might not have the time anyway! Hmmmm... It's tempting. I'll let you guys know within a week or so.
