Here's a bounty never before tried on Just About, but it's one we're really excited about. It's a high-effort bounty, but with a dedicated community, a full month to work with, and $175 worth of prizes available, we suspect Just About EVE Online can rise to the challenge.
In brief, we want you to create a documentary (or mockumentary) about EVE Online. We'll be choosing the winners based on popularity, creativity, and quality, with a premium on that last point - if we see evidence of real effort and care, whether because it's 60 minutes long, you've wrangled some original CGI or a pro editor, or however it shows, those videos are more likely to be awarded.
A standard YouTube video won't do for this bounty, it needs to be stylised like a traditional documentary; think David Attenborough, Carl Sagan, Michael Moore, or Werner Herzog. For non-roleplayed documentaries, imagine the style that you'd find on a TV or Netflix documentary. For roleplayed documentaries, imagine something you'd find broadcast in Gallente's more upmarket entertainment complexes.
Think of the features that traditional documentaries have: a gripping introduction, reporting, tone-appropriate narration, fading-to-black at the end with an update on what happened next. Perhaps you want to include some cutaways or interviews.
Many of you will have seen Escapist's new Making of EVE documentary. Feel free to make a traditional documentary like that. Though we're also more than open to roleplayed documentaries exploring existing or new in-game lore. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
CONCORD Exposed! Rooting Out Corruption in Highsec
Escaping Amarr: How One Pilot Found a New Life
The Battle of Asakai Revisited: The True Story Behind the Destruction
'Highway to Hellfire' - Murder on the Interbus: True Crime in New Eden
Nullsec Miners: Life on the Edge
How Playing EVE Online Changed My Life Forever
