A-Tractor Photo/Video Competition -Results on frontpage

Post by leigon »

I will be awarding one lucky winner with the chance to win a one year subscription to a server pack!...(one years subscription to the server program so you can host your own world)

All you have to do is produce a 30 second movie dedicated to A-Tractor made with streaming screen capture software. (make it look dramatic, professional, put some music in it *pretty much like an advert/intro movie*) MUST BE NO MORE THAN 10MB!!

Or Produce stunning artwork of scenes in A-Tractor already avalable for a smaller prize of 2000s and a mansion in gyruss when it is fully operational.

The winner will be decided by the A-Tractor staff and Mit will cast the final vote if there is a tie.

Post links to images / video's here and thats you entered. And e-mail your entry (with/without watermark) with your name and A-Tractor username (Galaxy) to Leigon (a/t) balprint (d/ot) co (d/ot) uk

Disclamer:
Closing date is the 31st of October 2004 (12 mid day GMT London), so you have plenty of time.
Please rember to post somewhere small your name/the date it was made. Any without owner's name will be disqualified. Remember keep 2 copies, one for show on this board (with watermark) and one we can use (without watermark).
I, Leigon have the right to withdraw any submission if I suspect any foul play.
Any entry over 10MB will be deleted by the server automatically.

Example Image:

GOOD LUCK!!!

"screen capture software" isnt very discriptive.
I have no idea what a one year subscription to a server pack is.
Do you mean i would get a world to host for 1 year only or it would be perminate but no updates after a year or what:P
If we make it look professional does that mean we use other editing programs for effects or is that not allowed.
Define the stunning artwork of scenes.
What time and time zone for the closing on the 31st of October?

Just thought id ask to clear up as much as i could think of.

Walk around the place. Buy a vehicle and do stunts. Crows. Blow people up. Fireworks.
Use cut seens, speshal efects, bit of drama like :

Screen1: In a Galexy Far Far Away...
Screen2: A TRACTOR
Screen3: *flash some cool outtakes*
Screen4 *closeing comment*

And if your doing the above of corse editing software is allowed :P

No this is 1 year's SUBSCRIPTION to the server pack... This allows you to run a world on one computer/server of your own. (unless you can find yourself a willing host)

Define the stunning artwork of scenes.
What do you think that example picture was for? :P use your imagonation damit! lol

Now you are being silly.
Closing date is the 31st of October 2004 (12 mid day GMT London),

not to sound like a wet blanket or anything :P
but was this run by mit yet? i mean, people are supposed to pay him for an island. it woulden't be right if any player that buys one could make up thier own contest and hand out islands.

i know you say mit will decide the final vote of it, but that doesen't necessarily mean he's ok with you doing it (if he wanted a contest, it seems odd he diden't post in annnouncements about it himself)

for an official universal logo use the official font:

http://www.fryfonts.com/free-font/96

those icons will eventually be overhauled once i've updated the branding stuff, since half of the colour methodology with those original icons no longer even applies.

the font is the same on the opening screen (which could also do with an update), as well as the upcoming site.
