This is why I did not participate. Once money is involved every human being acts the same. Sorry about your contest yoyo.

Ye maybe i shouldn't have proppsed so much.. The truth is that i wanted to give like 150usd at start.. But the day i announced the contest i won a bit less than 100€ with a loto like game.. This money was not mine, falling from the sky.. So i decided to add it to the price i initially wanted to give...Originally Posted by CrAsHOvErRide
But i wanted a maximum of people to participate.. In the end, Im a bit disapointed with the number of participents.. At start there was like more than 2 times more people saying/wishing to enter the contest.. In the end just a few.. So how many people would have participate with no price?

I agree, and its one of the reasons why I havent entered the contest, other reason is because I'm mega busy.
I'll probably be releasing my own trailer in a month or so, just to show off the map and the ideas I had to show case it for this contest.
I'll be posting my comments about all the videos later todayand casting my vote!
You guys are real angels for not entering because of the money... Hard to believe but anyway... One more guy to tell me he didnt enter for the same reason and im making a second contest with no money to win !
Will definitely participate :P Had some clips already done.
Dont have a method for receiving the money or i would have entered. Now finals are rolling around, you might as well do yoyo v2.2 and then redo the contest.
Thanks. It's too bad I didn't have a chance to finish it. Ah well- all for the fun anyway.
Just a word of thanks to those who voted for me.
I really appreciate that some people enjoy the work I did. <3
I guess I'll be entering that one with my failed trailer then.
Just do what I've been suggesting since you decided to change the rules mid-contest.
Start a poll asking the community what they think the rules should be, let it run for a week or two... After that, post a thread stating the contest rules and leave it, don't change it no matter what anyone said, they had a chance to vote earlier. Won't be so much of a joke if you do that.
@Siliconmaster: I agree with Lateski, 100%
Ganon's mastered the flow of what a trailer is... Rosco's could done better if it was more like a trailer.
Oh well, the videos for the most part, were all really good. Props to all who put effort into the contest!
E: For a trailer, unless you use the pictures of the women to your advantage like Ganon did, they are very distracting in the filming and, to be honest, take away from the theatrical effect of the previews. Very distracting from what the film-maker would want the user to focus on.
In future trailers, I recommend either using the distracting sections to your advantage or trying to ignore them 100% in your videos. Just a couple of things I would like to point out.
E2: In fact, if we have another version of YoYo, I would suggest removing the women. They don't add much, if anything to the map itself.
