As part of the MVS Challenge Cup campaign Infinity-Gaming are pleased to announce the launch of the "Ultimate Game Movie Awards" competition. £2000 is up for grabs in a bid to showcase some of the movie making talent found in gaming communities across Europe.
Think you are the next John Woo, Steven Spielberg or J.J Abrams? Now is the time to prove it.
MVS and Infinity-Gaming invite all budding game movie directors to step forward and take part in the Ultimate Game Movie Awards. It is well known that the games industry harbours some of the worlds best creative talent but now it is time to showcase the creative skills of those not directly involved with making the games. For several years there has been an "underground" culture of players that have spent their hours creating frag movies that include stunning visuals and cinematic effects to impress their peers and the wider gaming community.
In a bid to embrace this raw talent MVS is opening up a competition to find some of these stars and showcase their work. Split into 4 categories entrants are required to produce a short clip demonstrating their visual skills and submit it via the dedicated MVS microsite.
The 4 categories are:
- Quake Series (Quake 1, Quake 2, Quake 3, Quake 4, Quake Live)
- Counterstrike Series (Counterstrike 1.6, Counterstrike Condition Zero, Counterstrike Source)
- Call of Duty Series (Call of Duty 1, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4)
- Other Games
Prizes:
- 1st Place in each category; 250 GBP
- 2nd Place in each category; 150 GBP
- 3rd Place in each category; 100 GBP
Entrants will be judged by a mixed panel of people from creative, gaming and media backgrounds to determine who they think deserves to win. As an added bonus all 3 finalists from each category will have their clips showcased at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival in August as part of their Game Screening Programme.
Further information along with rules and the form to submit an entry can be found on the MVS microsite;
