A new video ad for the TMU Community Rik Vargard, a very talented machinima artist, has created a very good advertisement for the TMU community. It showcases many of the different programs and engines we use to create our videos including Muvizu.

Check it out.

TMU is a place where you can upload your videos for others to watch and in the forums section get help in many different ways. Don't limit yourself to just posting your videos on the Muvizu or YouTube sites, share with everyone.

Write a short story or make a film about obsessions.

Let's make this year the best one yet.

2013 Passion Competition Greetings. The annual Harb40 Passion Competition is approaching once again.

Passion Competition website updates The Passion Competition website has been updated with the new sponsor Scrivener, a new updated Moviestorm logo, some info on the 2013 competition (listed under the Contests/2013 tab) to include some info on the new short story category and a new forums section.

I have left the old forums up for now but will remove them in a few weeks. The new forums are ready to go. Unfortunately, anyone who was registered on the old forums will have to register anew on the new ones since I was not able to transfer the user list over. The new forums are cleaner looking, more functional and have more features than the old ones.

I hope everyone will drop by and have a look. More info and threads will be posted as the competition and membership grows.

I do hope to see some participation from the Muvizu community this year. The video editing software alone should make it worth a look.

Enjoy.

I entered a quicky movie my problem with a lot of the contests is I dont actually want to win (wierd I know) but most of the software offered I already own and feel like if I do by some offchance win I am taking it away from someone who could actually use it.


The prizes are transferrable as long as you don't install and register them first. Several previous winners have given some fo their prizes to others they know who don't have the software yet. Maybe they can be Christmas presents for a friend or family member. Or a birthday gift.

Crimes of Passion -- the 2012 Passion Competition I apologize if I didn't mention Muvizu directly. I believe I did last year. If you notice in this thread (which you also responded to), I did mention Muvizu as an engine that is acceptable.

As for your question, yes, November 3rd, midnight Eastern Standard Time, is the official cutoff for submisssions. In the past, we have been a bit flexible on that though. Last year we allowed entries up to the point that a notice of 'Stop' was posted closing the entry submission period.

2012 Passion Competition Rules and Guidelines


A Crime of Passion, or crime passionnel, in popular usage, refers to a crime in which the perpetrator commits a crime, especially assault, murder or rape, against someone because of a sudden strong impulse such as sudden rage or heartbreak rather than as a premeditated crime.


A typical crime of passion might involve an aggressive bar patron who assaults another patron following an argument or a husband who discovers his wife has made him a cuckold and proceeds to brutally batter or even kill his wife and the man she was involved with. Maybe the scorned wife finds the husband cheating. A diner goes into a rage over someone else's cell phone use. The soldier who loses it on the battlefield after seeing a fellow soldier killed (revenge or retaliation). The possibilities are endless.


The task at hand will be to make a film showcasing your interpretation of a Crime of Passion.


Rules and Guidelines


Dates: September 1, 2012 to November 3, 2012 (12 midnight EST)


Film Length: The film can be any length. It is preferred if the total length is not over 30 minutes but longer films will be accepted. All judges are required to view the whole film so the longer the films, the longer it will take to judge.


Film Age: This can be a new film or one you have made previously.


Engine: This film can be made using any program you desire (iClone,Moviestorm, The Movies, Poser, Daz, The Sims, game engines such as Halo, GTA, COD, WOW and more) or live action. Any form you desire.

(example below) Keep in mind that if the site you upload to requires registration or membership, the videos might not be viewable by the general population. It is preferred that sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and others be used.


Warnings: Since this competition is open to all ages, if any strong language or nudity is used, a disclaimer must be presented either at the start of the film or on the film page.


Credits: Any use of voice actors, music not supplied with the program of choice or composed by yourself, any mods not made by yourself or an official add-on is recommended to be credited either in the film or on the film page but is not required.
