Alex Sinclair there be some kind of pre-approval / moderation? Or everyone (1-50+ submissions) drop on April 14 with hopes they fit?

Alex Sinclair's avatar

No pre-approval or moderation required, but do reach out if you have any questions about whether your planned video will be a good fit. It'll work for all intents and purposes like a normal time-limited reward, but with all submitted videos published within that window. We'll assess all of the submissions on the reward's close date. Up to 50 of those videos (as long as they meet our criteria and standards as always) will win a prize when we close the reward.

One question: the description specifies a "three minute video", and don't see a max length mentioned.
As mine seems like it's going over 3 minutes, how specific are you being there with the time range?

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Apologies jnTracks, that is a little unclear. Three minutes is a guideline this time, so a little shorter or a little longer is fine. The strict minimum is two minutes (but they'll have to be a really excellent two minutes) and the maximum is six minutes. I've updated the description.

Oh man I am excited this is going to be great.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Very glad you're excited about it. We are too!

Alex Sinclair In the above post, you've got three conflicting requirements listed:
In the actual post it says - To win one of our 50 $120 prizes, we want you to make a three-minute video (minimum two-minutes, maximum six minutes)

In the Format, rules, and guidance it says - Make a three-minute long (absolute minimum two minutes, maximum five minutes)

and further on it says - Format: original video (maximum three-minutes)

Which one of the three is the actual requirement?

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Apologies RPGEmmaB; and thanks for pointing out the inconsistency. Following community feedback, we've now updated the conditions to make it a bit less strict and a bit more clear. We think just under three minutes is a great length for the videos, but we won't disqualify entries that are longer (absolute maximum six minutes) or shorter (minimum two minutes) as long as the content justifies the length. All the instructions should now be aligned

Alex Sinclair Another quick question, what timezone is the 14th going by? I'm in AU which would mean I'd reach the 14th before let's say UK or someplace. I don't want to put the video up just a little too early and then it doesn't count!

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Hey RPGEmmaB,

We're UK based, so we're currently in British Summer Time (UTC+1). By my calculations, that means any time after 9am on the 14th should be good for you. That said, if you accidentally post it a couple hours earlier, we won't disqualify you :) Nonetheless, we appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration here.

Here's my entry!! This video was lots of fun to make, (had a few hiccups along the way as well) and I'm very happy with the result! Tyvm for creating this challenge!

Probably I need to make another video, called "Bloopers of My Elite Dangerous." Haha, I had a few funny incidents while capturing this content

7+ years and 7000+ hours - this is a bit of what I've been up to... hope you enjoy! :]

Everything started from little Sidewinder, Apollo-A1. The rise of Aurora Venatores squadron, introduction of Odyssey settlements and lore created for alien species, both Guardians and Thargoids, everything connected with exploration and flying into the unknown.

Hope you'll enjoy this 😄

I'm currently studying the story of Generation Ship, and this one left me with great impression, I think I can share it in the form of Nav Log.

The cover picture is in Chinese, it means 'I believe the reunion under the blue sky, when the blossoms hang from every bough', it's a famous line of Cixin Liu's novel 'The Wandering Earth', and the video content is presented in English.

Hope you like it!

Remember: your video should be around three-minutes long and it must be published to your video channel between April 14-21. Once you've done that, share it here!

Exploration has always been a big part of why I love Elite Dangerous. So I feel it I could make a video explaining my views on Elite Dangerous and what makes it special to me. I worked really hard on gathering all the footage for this. I hope you enjoy.

There have been a lot of lightyears travelled as a Commander in the last 8 years.

Here are some of my favourite moments, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

CMDR_Age_Neutrino's avatar

That was truly beautiful Commander! o7 indeed!

Is it possible to use synthesized voice? My English pronunciation is very poor. =(

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Hey Marcelo - as long as the script has been written by a human, a synthesised voice is absolutely fine :)

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, a bit of chaotic powerplay, pew pew and explosion (including my own ship!). This is my Elite Dangerous!

Here's a video where I don't show anything from the game at all.

I know this voice, but I cannot place where it comes from...

B

I can only assume it's cause I read the Galnet for YouTube 🙂 otherwise, Nottingham is the only help I can give you!
