"lucas is going to add the cgi later, right?"

So the poll on that site isn't the official one?

 

Fenn is correct. Colbertnation is to submit it to the show, Codebot is the unofficial contest that got the whole thing started. It gets more clout than an unofficial contest might otherwise because it came first, it was shown on the show before they asked for entries to be sent to Colbernation, it's offering $500 as a prize, it has coherent rules, and it's showing a helpful big list of every single entry.

 

could somebody get me the audio to the original video?

 

Neo, I've PM-ed a guy on youtube who has the footage, and asked if he could send it to me. If/when he does, I'll send it to you. Should I send you just the audio or the video, because I'm not entierly sure how to extract the audio.

 

The official download for the raw footage, although it's low resolution and thus not so good for video, has the sound...

 

that cuts off before the part i need.

 

Ohh you want the Jar-Jar part. Here you go.

(Perspective and sound, pleased more with the final product)

Man, part of the rules are you can only submit if you're a U.S. citizen, oh balls.

 

I know! I'm in the UK, where are you based? I think I might just ignore that rule...

 

Yeah, I live in Canada...eh? Anyhow I figured it couldn't hurt to submit my entrance anyhow.


I know it's not that great, but pretty good I think as far as not making my own CG goes.

 

OK, here's my entry:

It's not 100% complete. Still got to add some shadows and finish rotoscoping the lightsaber. Thanks to Sci-Fi-3D for the droideka and environment, and thanks to Neo_mp5 for doing the awesome sound effects.

 

it's saying i have to login to get the file.

 

Any possibility you can upload that to youtube?

 

Here's my entry, done in After Effects and 3d Studio Max. The Pit-Droid 3d model and the background are curtesy of SciFi-3D.

Here's the youtube link to my entry. I'm not sure why yousendit did that, it's been unpredictable lately.

 

i could have sworn one of the sound bunker files had droideka footsteps in it, but i couldn't find them

 

There are some footsteps against metal, I bet they'd work....

 

they kind of need that click sound. i thought one of them had those exact sounds.

 

When is the contest over? Or does it "end"?

 

It ends on election day...

 

Wow, I'm going to have to watch the Colbert Report more often now.

what time does it come on EST?
