He he. That was funny.

I really want to enter this. I'm just keeping my eyes open for a product. When the idea hits (Probably at around 2 AM) I will leap out of bed shouting some convoluted form of the word "Eureka" into the air and proceed to roughly script out the film on my computer before going back to sleep. I will then wake up at 7 that morning, not remember anything, open my computer, and wonder how on earth such a genius script ended up on my computer. I will then make it, win the contest, and collect the QC9k.

That's the game plan, boys. mini/smile

I'm soooo doing this.

Will we still score in the Product Promotion catagory if we are advertising against it?

Yes.

Odd, I could have sworn that I'd written something about PSA's and "anti" ads in the first post. I'd have sworn it on a stack of bibles but I just re-read it looking for this specifically and it's not there.

Bad Leo!

There's still plenty of time left, so I'll add it to the first post.

Eureka! I have found it!

It's not 2 AM either (about 6:17) but I got a great idea for the contest. Hopefully I'll find the time to be able to make it.

Game on.   mini/sunnies

Oh no! I was hoping to win, but if you are entering, I am guaranteed to lose. mini/sad

Maybe I'll get second place.

Pshaw. No you're not. Just make a better advertisement than I do.

Forgive my double post.

I'd love to start my film now since I have some free time before my next CG job, but I would also hate to have to wait until the end of March to release it. Is there a particular reason you don't want films released before then, or is it a rule that could be changed?

The main reason for that rule is so that people can't use films they have made previously.

However, I can't think of any particular reason not to bring that date forward since I don't see how it could be an advantage to the entrant. It might be considered a disadvanatage if it gives other people ideas, but I don't think it could be an unfair advantage.

So if ... five people post here saying that they want to be able to release entries earlier, I'll change it to "films can't be releaesd before today" or something like that.

Re: The Quick Short Advertising Contest [CLOSED]

Early release sounds fair enough. I think anytime after the competition has been announced would be ok.

As you say it only disadvantages an entry by getting in early and showing your hand. But then again if the idea is not that original it would be a shame to turn up at the party wearing the same dress as everyone else.

Does it have to be a product or an item?? Could it be an advertisement for like a sports game or music tour?

No, as far as I understood you can do an advertisement for almost anything, as long as you stay clean. mini/smile

Well that's two. If three more people ask for it, then I'll change it.

And I suppose that anything where a person would pay money would be considered a "product". People buy tickets for tours and sports events, so I don't see why you couldn't do an ad for something like that.

Wow, when people were talking about 9k I thought they were talking about a 9k race.
