Answer:
If the film was too big to be released in 1 part, then all parts would be considered 1 film as long as they are all submitted as 1 entry. In other words, you had to upload it in 2 or 3 sections due to file size limits, time durations, etc.

If the film was made in the likes of the Indiana Jones saga (each film had it's own seperate storyline) or like Star Wars (each film had a different episode number) then they would be considered seperate films. Films like Conquest, The Dark and Chronicles of Humanity, (these are machinima films) each seperate film would be considered a seperate entry.]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 19:27:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1267-2011-harb40-passion-competition-official-rules.aspx Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:04:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1267-2011-harb40-passion-competition-official-rules.aspx edited by Harb40 on 04/09/2011]]> Sun, 04 Sep 2011 20:32:51 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1267-2011-harb40-passion-competition-official-rules.aspx Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, machinimators of all ages, once again it is time for us to embark on the journey through people's minds and creativity and see what their ideas of passion are. So, without further ado, I give you the:


2011 Harb40 Passion Competition.

2011 Passion Competition Rules and Guidelines

Ethics also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality -- that is, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc.

Good versus evil contradiction is the eternal story of mankind. The universe is made of oppositions, contrasts, conflicts and dilemma. The stories of God and Satan highlight this. There are also examples such as police forces versus criminals, arguments between husbands and wives (the wife is always right, right?) and even land owners versus city expansion (eminent domain).

The task at hand will be to make a film showcasing the struggle between GOOD and EVIL, RIGHT and WRONG.

Rules and Guidelines

Required Theme Element: Must show the struggle between Good and Evil, Right and Wrong. Any films not done in English should have English subtitles so the judging panel can fully understand the dialog.
