Madness Day 2011 Movie Contest

[TomFulp]

This is the official thread for Madness Day 2011 movie discussion and submission! Talk about your works in progress, and when you're done you can post a link in this thread! Also be sure to tag your submission with "madnessday2011" and "madness" so we can find it in future tag searches.

The theme is anything Madness. To be eligible for prize money and an award, you must feature original characters and audio must come from the Audio Portal or be used with permission and credit to the original artist.

Your movie must be submitted on SEPTEMBER 22nd and use the MD2011 loading screen. You can choose between the traditional (frame 1) or one that integrates our latest API to run ads and make money (frame 2).

[Drifts]

Did the prize money for movie's go down this year due to more thread prizes?

[R-Animator]

Hmm. Oh what the hell I'll try to make a submission, no promises though.

[PegasuTV]

inbox yeah

[Buoy]

When you have an outline of your movie, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll make a custom madness-y tune for you (as long as you don't send it super close to the deadline). Be sure to include a list of events and when they happen so they can be "highlighted" by the music so to speak.

The prize money is the same as what was announced last year leading up to Madness Day.

HaHa, Sorry I know about flash, I have it already. Allow me to rephrase:

SHould I FBF it or use the Madness Sprites?

[qqzhuosai]

I'll do it. Probably end up getting 50 dollars from it

FBF. Mainly because it looks better (if done well enough) and is your own work.

[moviemaker107]

WOOOW 1,000 dollars I can do this, I can do this!

[CloudEater]

I might actually make something if I can motivate myself to get started and then keep on going.

[DrunkenMonkey123]

I reckon I'll give this a go. Sounds like fun.

[DrunkenMonkey123]

I've nearly finished, I just have to add music and the preloader.

[edu010203]

[MrTroodon]

I just started my submission, hopefully it will turn out good.

Just one question: How will the winner by decided? By score, or by a group of judges, or both?

[CloudEater]

Madness 2011 Preloader ..has anyone seen it yet?

[MOC-Productions]

I keep asking. No luck so far...

[TomFulp]

Re: The preloader - I've been watching the Art Portal to decide which MD2011 art submission could work best on a loading screen. I think I have one picked out, waiting on the vector art to toss it together.

[TomFulp]

Update - original post now includes links to the loader!

[MOC-Productions]

Thanks Tom! Good choice!

[DrunkenMonkey123]

Great preloader. I've scrapped my previous submission (didn't think it was good enough), but I'm working hard to get my new one finished!

[EK515]

"you must feature original characters"
If I were to have a British-Hulk and Sonic appear as bonus material; would that disqualify me?

"Get the MD2011 Loader"
I have all of the original links and the art inside a pre-loader I made myself.
Good enough?
