Unicyclist Video Comp - Entry Thread

Hey. i'm going to make a video. i've got some questions:

i'm not sure if i'm novice or intermediate, what's your definition
between the two?

The video can only contain one rider, but can there be other people in
the video aswell who aren't riding but are there for entertainment
purposes?

can one video win more than one category?

cheers

Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
doubt.

Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
uni, lol.

first off im in for sure. but i havea few questions.

1)why do we have judges? why dont we let the people pick the winners
since theyre the ones watching. let the people pick the winners on
every category. and did we even ask anyone if they wanted judges, i
mean thats unneccessary to me.

2)is everyone automatically entered into entertainment, biggest bail,
and community favorite? because i know for sure id like to be in
freestyle, but id also like to be in community favorite. i think
everyone should automatically be entered into those three on top of
whatever style they choose.

3) i think rule #4 up there is unneccessary. i dont feel the need to
copyright my videos.

4) videos shouldnt be released under this thread when the due date
comes. this is because this thread will no doubt get long, as there is
alot of questions. what we need to do is pm all our links to our videos
to eroick, and he'll post them all in one post so people will be able
to see them all in one shot, no one is missed, and they wont have to
search.

5) who needs 2 months to make avideo. id be up for any time in october,
and im real busy so its manageable.

Two months for filming is a good amount of time, but I bit much I do
agree. Since winter starts for us in about 2 weeks, haha, after this
vid i'll only have about 2 weeks to do another one. But whatev...
Should be good.

1. Define yourself. It might be changed. Just do your best.

2. Sure, only one rider but others can do whatever for some
entertainment value.

3. Yes, if its that good.

The judging system is not final. Depending on the number of videos
entered, there is a good chance that it will all be up to community
vote. In which case, the judges will just get the videos together and
make polls.

Is the Novice, intermeadiat, expert thing for video editing, or
riding skill?

I was always under the impression that from begginer to expert, it
goes, Novice, intermediat, expert.

Its riding skill. I dont care about your flashy transitions that you put
in with windows movie maker. I personally prefer simple cuts over stuff
like star wipes. Look at professionally made movies, they never have
fancy wipes.

i dont know if there is enough demand to have three categories per
style. Maybe it should be cut back to just 2? If you have three
categories there might also be some subjectivity to what each person
calls intermediate etc.

I didn't mean any transitions or anything, I meant videos like shauns,
who always uses the right music, get the angles, has the equipment ect.
you can definatly tell between a proffesional grade video and a
homemade one.

You could split the catagories like this, Levels 1-4 to replace novice,
5-7 for intermeadtiate, and 8 to 10 for expert, or something like that.
although, judges would be needed to preveiw the vid to determine if
someone is trying to cherry-pick. Such as shaun entering novice or
intermeadiate because he's never taken a levels test. That's just an
example, I'm not saying he would do that, and I have no idea if he's
taken skill level tests or not.

I agree, at first I thought three would be pretty cool, but I think two
makes there actualy be more entries in each category, I don't think
there will be as many entries into the higher categories. It also makes
it alot easier for people to choose a category.

Why do you have to only have one rider? Multiple riders would be more
interesting.

Rules update. Read 'em. Less strict.

They might change a bit, but they will not get any more restricting.
Hope this makes people happier.

The copyright thing is there for a simple reason. If people are going
to be uploading videos, we may as well just use a lisence so that
nobody gets mad incase their clips show up in someone elses video. The
lisence basicly just says that people can use your video and add to it
but cannot use it to make money.

The reason I want people to use WMV, Quicktime or youtube/google video
is so that everyone can view the video. Most people have access to all
of those codecs.

Everyone is entered into the biggest bail, entertainement and community
favorite catagories regardless of what catagory your video is in.

The judging system has not yet been finalised. But Im working on it.
You are getting marked 95% on riding and about 5% on editing/music.
Riding is almost all that matters. The exception is the biggest bail,
entertainment and community fav catagories. Those are marked on what
the name implies.

I hope people prefer these rules. Keep the suggestions flowing. All
videos are still due on December 1st.

Rules for the Unicyclist Video Compition:

1. Each person may only submit one video.
2. Videos must be your own creation
3. Your video must be in WMV or QuickTime format, or uploaded to
YouTube, Google Video, or a simular website.
4. The video must be less than 5 minutes 30 seconds and longer than 1
minute and 30 seconds.

To submit your video you must:
1. Give us your name and unicyclist username.
2. Identify yourself into one of the following skill levels: Novice or
Expert and into one of these types: MUni, Trials, Street, Freestyle.
Try your best to catagorize. If we do not agree, we will change it.
3. Give us a direct link to your video.
4. Release your video under the Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License (see here for details)
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/. This basicly means that
we can do anything with your video but use it for Commercial uses. Just
trying to stay legal.
5. Agree that to the best of your knowledge, you have adheared to all
