    *Fade up from black*

    Voice over: Are you tied of being run over by diplomatic losers whose only hope is to exclude you from all glory?

    (Up fades a sad toddler with a lightsaber toy)

    Are you sick of watching every other fight get accepted but yours?

    (Up fades a dying puppy...also with a saber)

    Don't you wish Fig would make a competition for the best non-hosted fanfilm fight?

    (Up fades a Girls Gone Wild graphic, which is soon replaced by a pouting baby turtle...with a lightsaber graffitied on it's shell)

    If you said yes to any of these questions, listen up!




    [b]It's the first ever Non-Hosted Fanfilm Fight Competition![/b]

    Based on the whines of some from the Lightsaber Competion about having a pre-made film that ahad a fight for the competition, or other squabbles about release dates and categories and stuff, we bring you the [b]First ever Non-Hosted Fanfilm Fight Competition![/b]

    All films that have been created, but not hosted by TFN, are eligible. So here's the dealio:

    The idea here is that you enter one fight from a piece that you have created. It can have no more than the fight itself, in a straight edit from the final cut of the film, Star Wars themed fights only.

    [b]Rules:[/b]

    o The film must not be hosted by FanFilms.com
    o The film can be in consideration for hosting
    o The fight must have lightsabers at some point
    o You must find a way host the clip, and keep it hosted
    o 40 megabyte limit (if you need 40 megs, you need to learn the art of compression)
    o The fight must be under a day in length, for 56k viewers

    [b]Dates:[/b]

    Entries must be submitted (IE hosted, and all links to me) by Friday the 23rd, midnight, board time.

    Entries will be viewed all day Saturday.

    Voting on Sunday, the 25th.

    Voting method will be decided on after some PMs are sent, stay tuned for that.

    [hr]

    Well, that's it kids! Find your film's best fight, cut it from the film, and make it small! Preferably QuickTime, but whatever. Have fun...or, well, wtiht the nature of this contest...hope you had fun! :D

    Wow Fig, now that's the way to gain some respect from the TFN Staff.

    Well - he's got his own webspace - he doesn't need hosting.

    :p

    Well, that's GREAT that he is offering to host an alternative location for a comeptition. The thing is, why must there be language to the effect of taking a pot-shot at the TFN FanFilms Staff - just because some people's clips might not be accepted due to the set guidelines? That's all I'm saying.

    Other than that, I am all for alternative offerings to further perpetuate the FanFilm medium. :D

    If not...then, well, I'll do it anyway.

    You guys are funny. You only invented the "not hosted" rule to AGAIN not include "Intermezzo Dualis: Reloaded" :)

    Actually, no. We just didn't want AotS kickin' your Swedish butt, dude. :D ;)

    (Kidding, kidding)

    Actually, it was put it together to give awards to those who can't get their glory from having their film featured on FanFilms.com or the other competition. So HA!

    There's a thin line between a great lightsaber battle and a couple of nerds clacking sticks together. And that thin line is After Effects. But, man, what a difference it makes.




    Part of this statement is based on an old quote that goes something like this:
    "There is a thin line between fishing, and standing on the side of a pond like an idiot."
