It was initially for the finals mate but we've scrapped that now and it's just been extended indefinately until we have around 4-5 videos entrants, we have 2 (not including you) right now! So you're quite welcome to have a go at it!

We'll be previewing our new site on stream tommorow if you want to check it out for the colour style we've gone for :)]]></description>

Undecided about the smashing through the screen idea (can't picture how it would look finished..) and I do like the sound of the transforming cube :D! Aslong as the focus is "levelling up", and as such, has those "evolutionary" style art work that builds up (or something that transforms/levels up), then your free to do as you wish! :D

Also more than welcome to alternate between intro songs (the one i gave was just the first one in my head)

Grab me on steam: nVc7 - or irc: #lvl^ if you want to have a chat]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Hope it's not too late to present my idea, I've been procrastinating like hell lately. Anyway, here's what I was thinking:
The vid starts up with a close-up of a monitor on which is displayed a loading bar...loading up.
(idea for the loading bar, of course can be changed: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c87/metalpiss/lvl_loadingBar2.jpg
The camera slowly backs off to reveal the monitor as the loading bar progresses.
When the loading bar fills up, and the song is about to reach "I see your dirty face....", the LEVEL logo zooms in from the monitor up to the point when it breaks through the monitor, spinning, smashing the screen, right as the singing begins.
Also along with the logo all sorts of decorative stuff starts pouring from the monitor, like ribbons, particles, flourishy things etc.
The camera follows the logo, gently rotating half/circle around it or something, remains to be seen.
Here's a very quick dirty sample of kinda what I mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxKkCJg6n5Q
And the logo should look something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd_zftfvS78

Another idea that I had was the logo exploding from the screen as a cube or something and morphing, with a Transformers-like effect, into the actual logo. Though I don't think I have enough time to do that now.

So what do you think? All this would take me 3-4 days to finish because I don't know if I'll be able to do anything tomorrow since I'll be quite busy.]]></description>

The chosen artist will receive a NEW razer goliathus mouse pad or creative x-fi go USB soundcard provided they can link me to their ETF2L account. Heck, they might even get both if i really like it :)

10-30 Seconds, nothing but the logo and track with fancy graphics! You should try and sync things if possible and be prepared to make minor adjustments to the final product one evening if possible?! HF :)]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Using Andrew Kramer tutorials to make an intro for something you are trying to get off the ground and be original and new, would be a bad idea. You don't have to be an aspiring movie maker for that. You just need to be able to download After Effects, download the Evolution plugin and follow the steps in the tutorial.
Maybe have a competition for the intro and the community votes?]]></description>

Shouldn't be lagging mate, it's a lot more stable than u-stream and justin.tv (other services)

All i can suggest is not to rape the connection before we go live :P]]></description>
