ROBERTO'S BULLHORN: The future of FXWARS: What would you guys like to see?

#41

How about setting up a few generic story boards and let those with cameras submit what they can based on those.

#42

I have a DV camcorder, nothing special but I could possibly provide footage if the subject was right. Just don’t ask for blue/green screen footage :eek:

#43

…maybe i could put up a bulletin at my school…

#44

I also happen to have a Panasonic PV-GS400.

#45

I have a friend that has a fairly decent DV camera (I beleive it is the Sony AG-DVX100), it is a lot better than my basic camcorder. I have a greenscreen, but sometimes lack the on screen talent (I will not get in front of a camera) to get things done. But having done a bit of DV keying, it would be a lot of fun to get better footage for that. Perhaps a general call could be made to a larger group of the CGTalk community for that sort of thing?

#46

Id like to see more invisible effects challenges.

add snow to a scene
replace all the vehicles
make a city look abandonded
etc etc

#47

I also like this idea.

#48

So…when does the next one start? :smiley:

#49

I agree with that :smiley:

#50

Perhaps an “official” request email from el Roberto to the Reel | Stream guys or on their webboard. Of course all entries would credit the person supplying the footage.

#51

When does the next Challenge start : :smiley:

#52

People give me at least a week until I bulletprrof the rules.

#53

interesting… did they just change the front page? I now see FXWARS under Mini Competitions… that’s pretty cool…

#54

yeah i thought this section is closed…but everything is changed. now more ppl can join this…

#55

For improving the forum, i would suggest that the threads should be under a FXWars Challenge folder, so that each challenge has its folder.

Meaning, if you have a volcano challenge:

It goes like this

 CGTalk      > Mini Challenges       > FXWARS Forum       > Volcano FXWars Challenge > Volcano: CobraX's entry.

So that under FXWARS Forum you would have:

FXWARS Forum:
—>Open Ocean FXWars Challenge
—>Volcano FXWars Challenge
—>Deep Freeze FXWars Challenge
—>Earthquake FXWars Challenge…and so on.

Xavier.

#56

Yeah, I agree, there should be a folder for Archived FXWars entries.
And this forum will contain all of the current challenge’s entries.

That will clean up a LOT of the clutter.

#57

agreed, that’s a must!

#58

Ill ask for it, but no promises…

BTW I will announce the topic of the next challenge tonight.

One clue…
It is a SEQUEL to an older challenge.
