As many of you (cough) are aware, i own a group called YFPSD (Young FPS Developers)
And unfortunately, my current project is goin down the toobs.
The reason being my splash screen.

For those of you who don't know what a splash screen is, it is a mini video at the start of a game showing the game was made/developed/created/published by the company/group shown on the video. An example of a splash screen is the famous Ubisoft logo.
You know, the one where the ball thing zooms out through some sort of thing then the word "Ubisoft" pops up?

Anyway, the point im trying to get to is...
Im making a competition in which anyone from the forums can enter, the task is to create a splash screen for YFPSD which will used in CodeRack, and future titles for YFPSD.
Of course its not a case "Gimme that! Mwhahaha! Its my splash now! No credit for you!" Your forum name will be registered into each title, and the winner and runner ups recieve a prize.

1st Place: CodeRack: Alteration, Puzzle Pack and Credit
2nd Place: CodeRack: Alteration
3rd Place: Endangered City

<COMPETITION IS NOW FINISHED, WINNERS ANNOUNCED ON A NEW THREAD>

Winners will be announced on a different thread (This one if requested) And the points will be shown for the winner, runner ups and Participants.

Anyone willing to enter the contest, please ask in a post, and I will add to the list. Entries must be sent in a ZIP or RAR, not as a single file, because you must include these contents in the ZIP/RAR:

Video.avi/wmv
Contest.txt (Write a short summary of the video, and include your forum name.)
Uploading to file sharing sites are now permitted, since a number of complaints about file size and attaching are preventing me from seeing them, now, if you want, you can email me with the link to your video on a fileshare site. Email me at yourstandardkid@hotmail.com

List of Participants:
MeZoFoRtE‏
Avid
Hybrid
Miposter

The source image for YFPSD is on the website: http://www.yfpsd.co.uk

EDIT: Neither CodeRack: Alteration nor The Puzzle Pack are currently finished, the winners will recieve the prizes in an email once the games have been publicly released.

Hey, I could take-up this challenge! But if I get second/third I don't get to be credited?

Anyways, I'll take-up to this challenge...but I'll have to change the logo, no offense...

EDIT: What else do I have to put in it? Just your Logo thing or more? Please elaborate.

yeah, judging has now changed slightly.

You are allowed to change my default logo, as BVG did with my logo, with an M9 Beret.

BVG: If you want, you can make a splash video with the logo you made me, who knows? It may be the new logo of YFPSD, with your name on it!

Keo C: If you wish a high res picture, you may be out of luck, I kinda drafted the logo in Paint in 2 minutes.
If you want, you can design your own logo to go with the splash.

Also an Important Note:

The illustrations must refer to the group, YFPSD. And it must definitely have the words "Young FPS Developers" on it.

Judging points will be posted sometime in the afternoon today GMT

Well, I'll enter... I don't know why you don't want a link to a file hosting site, it's hell easier and I don't have to e-mail you 20mb worth of stuff... I'll hand you some links for an example of what I have done, the stuff I send you won't be watermarked and will be 1024x768 exact.



I'll post the preview of the video later, I'll e-mail it to you now, my e-mail will be titled accordingly...

EDIT: Dude, I'm gunna have to upload it to FileFront or something, it won't send as an attachment and it won't upload to the forum.

EDIT2: I uploaded a .swf version of it, it's less than half the size and it can be viewed in any web browser.

Im now permitting links to file sharing sites, as one contestant emailed me about the competition explaining that he cant attach files.
Any file sharing site will do, just send me an email with the link to your competition entry, i will download them and place them in a seperate folder labeled "YFPSD Entries" Also, anyone who sends me an email about the competiton without asking on the thread to be in the contestants list, will be automatically added to the list.

Reminder: Email me at yourstandardkid@hotmail.com

Keo C, are you going to be entering the competition? remember you dont have to use my old logo, if anything make a better one!

MeZoFoRtE: Nice work, im looking forward to compare your entry the others, which currently arent much, just yours!
Ive seen your entry and it looks good! but a fade in and out transition of a still picture? Maybe if possible, you could add a 3D effect to it? You would get extra points for doing so!

Also, you are allowed to edit your entry after you post it, just email me with a new link as long as its before the deadline.

@Keo C:


@FPISC&P:
I kinda am getting used to your logo design. Yeah, my blur effects are wonderous, huh. I'm terrible with 3D but excellent with 2D, so my talent lies with what I have done.

Here's something I just made in the last hour or so. Hope you like it .

The music is from fsopen so it should be free to use.

The .avi is compressed with divX 6.5 format.

Double post, I know. But... Avid my WinRAR cant extract the avi, it says something about it being an unknown method?

EDIT: Can you convert it to a stable wmv file instead? Either that or a normal avi that can run through WMP?

I compressed the file with 7zip which might be the problem, I'll just repost it plain format.

As long as you have the DivX codec installed it should run in any media player. I suggest you download it regardless, it's very useful.

MeZoFoRtE: if you're going to be so egotistical, than at least make something worth being proud of. That blur effect can be easily done inadobe flash using shape tweens, so don't brag at all. Also, that logo is hust a burnt texture of a paint immage with a gun that was probably on a white backround that you keyed out. simple, so don't be proud, and especialy, don't gloat, I hate that.

sorry there's no music, I have the mid if you want it. Anyhow, what do you think?

EDIT: yeah, I know the mid suks. It sounds like real instruments when converted, though.

Hybrid, ever heard of sarcasm? I wasn't gloating, my attempt isn't worthy of gloating over, it took me 20 minutes. I did use simple image tweening through Flash 8, after I traced bitmap over the original logo. The image itself is simple, but I like yours A LOT. I'm shooting for second now...

I like competition, let's see how this ends up.

EDIT: DAMN HYBRID!!! Your entry kicks mine's ass! Well, we know the winner, just add some music and you win...

EDIT2: I can compose some music for you, if you want. You vid is so great, it needs music!
