CHRONOTORIOUS is Coming - Music Video Contest is LIVE!

[Mustin]

That's right. It's a Music Video Contest.

It all starts today, peoples.

The new Bad Dudes Web site is up (thanks, Mazedude). CHRONOTOROIUS is off to the printers. Release date is August 18 2009. A music video contest has started - winner gets a signed CD, signed poster and a $50 Gift Card to GameStop. PRE-ORDERS for the CD start TODAY. Get the CD now for $10. Don't wait until release date - the price goes up to $12. And don't wait to buy the CD before it's gone - it won't be reprinted, and the iTunes/AmazonMP3 release later this year will only have 10 tracks instead of 15.

So let's see those contest entries. Deadline is on August 11 2009.

Show me what ur workin' with.

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE?!

[quarky]

Alright!

Posted this to X-Strike's forum, PBC Production's forum, my NVAA (Northern Virginia Anime Association) forum, made a Facebook note, and posted on my LJ account.

HOW'S THAT FOR SOME EXPOSURE?!

Hell, I'm thinking of making one. hehe

Lots of love and hugs,
Steph

[Gwa ha ha!!]

I blogged about it! YAY!

[Red Kinikacha]

*Is Poor*

Yeah, Brainstorming on what program to use and what layout the video is going to be. Expect an entry by me...

[Dhsu]

Folks over at www.animemusicvideos.org might be interested.

Semi-Good questions here

When making the video do we have to use all of the song. I'm kinda nervous about not using all (nearly) 3 minutes of the song when the rules state you can't edit the song in any way.

Can we also use sound effects? or does that include messing with the song. Hopefully not SE's make everything complicated. Meh.

and Finally when the contestants are done with the video do we keep it in a certain format or file type. I'd hate for whoever to win delete their file and then "suprise" You guys need it to edit/touch up and its gone and you have to use a crappy FLV from youtube.

Yes, you must use the whole track.

SFX are fine as long as you don't edit the original track (e.g. cut out a section, change the order, etc.).

I don't think it has to be in a certain format... We're going to see the YouTube video. If we do need to send out for touch ups, we'll deal with that when the time comes.

[Mustin]

It's here and ready for you...

[jaems-kun]

Just a quick reminder,

Music Video Contest entries are due Tuesday August 11 at 23:59 PDT. Make sure to get your video submissions in on time so that you don't miss out on your chance to win our GROIN-PUNCHINGLY AWESOME prizes! We won't be accepting any late entries, so if you don't get your video in on time, you'll just have to kick your own ass. We'll be too busy kicking the contestant's asses.

Also make sure to follow the directions on the Official Contest Web page to ensure that we receive your entry through the correct channels. If you have questions on the contest, make sure to check out this thread first and post any additional questions you may have.

Who will create the most BADASS Magus music video ever? Only time will see how it all ends...

[ktriton]

Good luck to all!

[Red Kinikacha]

I'll go ahead and drop this off here



I have a feeling someone is going to just come right after me, Post this mindblowing video and take 1st place.

>_>

[joe_cam]

[Ybrik Metaknight]

"Bladinator". Hahaha.

I'll second this.

[Bahamut Chris]

[Red Kinikacha]

Dammit. I was switching between the Video Program and Web Page, and I had a feeling I was going to spell his name wrong.

D:

Edit: Any other Typos. I want to correct them asap

[quarky]

Oh Sweet Bunnies! I thought I was down to an hour before the deadline, but I noticed it's Pacific Time so I've got 3 hours! I hope it doesn't take that long to process thru YouTube...I'll be in trouble...

It's done and on its way...I'm just waiting for it to finish processing...........................whatever that means.

EDIT: "Processing time varies greatly depending on the format of your original video, file size, and upload traffic. This could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours."

Oh Shit! O.O

[Red Kinikacha]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who worked on this.

>_>

even if I lose I still get a free CD. I'm feeling pretty joyus over here.

Edit: You should still turn yours in Quarky.

My Video was very very Mediocre....

[quarky]

Ah HA! It finished! I was SO WORRIED! X_x

Know that I've never done anything like this before. I've done more taping in the past 2-3 weeks than I have my whole life. I've never edited anything before either. I had no friggin idea what ta do and all I thought of using was what I already had: an Insignia (a Best Buy brand) NS-DSC7PO9 and Microsoft Movie Maker. Both of which suck, as well as my filming abilities (although the net doesn't seem to like my fast shots...or is it the color green? I dunno, it looked fine before I saved it to a .wmv). Honestly, I care less about winning and more that I actually did it. So bah! >.< (READ: Still want the goods tho if I win anything)

Good job Red Kinikacha! You're not alone in the thread any longer! ^_^;;

If ya don't know what's going on from the title, here's what I wrote in the description:
Music Video Contest Submission
Dhsu Vs. Mustin (radio edit) from the Bad Dudes' album CHRONOTORIOUS, depicting what Magus (from Chrono Trigger, hense the song) does on a day off. Or perhaps what he does after being defeated by Chrono & Co. and before seeing them again atop North Cape... Who knew that he was a closet shoujo manga fan, shopped at Old Navy, and baked cookies when he was stressed out? O.o
Go buy the album at baddudesmusic.com!
Content created by me, as per the poor quality camera work.

Thank you Bad Dudes for making awesome music! ^_^;;
Much love and hugs,
Steph

EDIT: It's shot in first person, if that isn't obvious also. Uh, and I didn't plan the corn going with the beat so well. That kinda just happened. And originally it was suppose to be what happened to Magus from when Chrono defeated him and met up later on the cape. That's why it started out night time with lightening and then ended with him going thru the woods. Oh, and that's suppose to be some of his white hair blowing in the wind in the beginning , but it looks really crappy, cause it's actually fishing line (but don't tell anyone! >_>). Damn, I'm all jittery from the adrenaline high I got from waiting for the thing to process. I'm shutting up now. Hope y'all enjoy it. I'm going ta bed now.

[joe_cam]

I'll say now that the heart shaped transition from the cookies was awesome.

I'm also quite shocked that of all people, we haven't seen a damn thing from Rez.

[quarky]

Sorry I didn't get to show it to you first for input Joecam. I totally ran out of time! >.<

And yeah! WTF Rez?!

EDIT: Hm...I'm not sure how I feel about a sort of "win by default" cause we're the only two. I mean, Bad Dudes needed to use this for their video promotion right? I guess I should've tried harder for that goal; instead I got wrapped up in the experience. I feel kinda bad now. I think I was counting on others to do a really good job so ppl could just laugh at mine.

Others! You let me down! >.<

Meh. I feel really indifferent. The Bad-dudes team has some really talented people. They could make any entry gold even if It was a chrono trigger picture montage with music >_>
I mean I don't like being defaults, but I also don't like the idea of someone winning and not following the rules or participating on time. Especially with all this advertising that's been going on. I mean I grabbed a 30 day trial and worked with it as much as I could. There was nothing stopping anyone really...

meh...

[jaems-kun]

I wanted to participate, but the only video idea I could come up with was similar to quarky's and it wouldn't of turned out half as interesting.

[pappy]

You'd damn well better appreciate quarky's video. She went all hermit for two days and then when the editor crashed she took out her aggression by beating the ever-loving hell out of me with a coat hangar.

[quarky]

A metal coat hanger.

[joe_cam]

I hope you untwisted it and used it like a whip on him.
He always liked that.

[Red Kinikacha]

I wish I had someone to beat. Whenever my editing program crashed the only option I had was...

[pappy]

Nice. I can't even do that...I use a laptop.
