You might want to make a write up and write the specifics in a post if you want it in the contests forum

Happy THACing mini/sunnies

Re: My contest Historic War

Just titles. And default Windows Movie Maker titles too. That's not how you attract good entries to your contest.

Re: My contest Historic War

I don't really understand it. Is it that I have to make a film about a war that pre-dates 30th April 1975. Does this mean that I cant do a film about a rather important war that happened in 1982? If not why not, it seems rather historic to me?
As for the prize I don't want an Itunes card because I don't have an Itunes account, I use play.com its cheaper.
You know what, I cant be bothered the rules are too strict and the prize is less than the cost to make a film.

Don't be like that, he has valid points that you should listen to.

Re: My contest Historic War

If you want to improve in anything, be it brickfilming, running competitions, painting, acting, designing, horticulture, you have to be prepared to take some constructive criticism.

The community here is generally up for a good animation challenge but imposing such strict rules on a contest where the prize is negligible isn't a fantastic way to entice people to enter. $10 is a pretty small amount and limiting the use of that $10 by making it an iTunes card when not everyone uses iTunes only further closes off your contest to participants.

Cash, equipment or Lego sets are far better prizes for a brickfilming contest.

Well there you go.

This is why nobody will enter your contest.

I agree the topic title is misleading.

@legostudiosplus You don't have to give a good prize or even a prize at all, but can you not say its a good prize when its clearly not. Also the rules are rather unclear about whether we have to make a battle or just base the film during a war. And you never got back to me on whether I could do a film that was after Vietnam but is still historical, e.g The Falklands war or Sierra Leone.

Re: My contest Historic War

yes you could do that. If someone wins that doesn't use Itunes I'll think a prize up

Re: My contest Historic War

I would enter if you would allow me to do it on a war that happened after Vietnam and give me like 6 month to make it.
