Please add the definition of “difficulty” and the process of how it should be determined.

And maybe this contest would be better to hold under some of existing SG?

#3

1 week is not enough, we should extend the contest entry period up to 2 weeks at least in order to get qualified works.
How about uploading videos on youtube as a contest requirement?

There are two weeks until November 20

Agree, I think we should increase period for 2 weeks and add definition of “difficulty”.
Good proposal, community needs this a lot!

Great idea!

Couple of comments:

  • the cycle of video production should be at least 2 weeks
  • I’d cut the length to 60 secs - 180 sec as long videos loose action (in most cases)
  • language must be specified as well
  • voice over is not a must have, imho, texts/slogans can be enough
  • and the criteria of difficulty should be also described

Plus, it’s more a thought - and what about a tik-tok videos? No graphics/animations but can be fun.

Good contest idea and interesting distribution ranking

#8

Класс идея . Но 120 секунд многовато ребят .

Less than a minute is not enough to explain “what Free TON is”. For a brief promo, of course, will be enough.

It is desirable that the sources of the project’s video should be provided, or that they should be interested in making corrections in case something needs to be fixed. Maybe something like the additional round of corrections.

I remember the most difficult part of the landing page contest was to collect all the materials about Free TON. So it would be nice to provide some historical time line and the core benefits of Free TON. Because it is difficult for me as a designer to distinguish the most important things from the technology. In general, a short abstract that need to be rolled out in video.

Опять сроки надо поставить вменяемые, минимум две недели! И по продолжительности видео тоже вопрос, например тикток видео или вирусные видео имеют хронометраж не больше 15 -20 секунд. Нужно больше информации по тому что должно быть в видео. И я так понимаю даты приблизительные, тк еще даже не выбрали дополнительное жюри, а это 10 дней плюс.

Две недели для чего-то оригинального мало. Месяц. А то впечатление что это жюри не терпится побыстрей? Нет? Все равно во всех жюри одни и те же судьи. Далее - голос за кадром только на английском? А нужен ли он? Нудный голос лучше понятных анимаций с надписями? Впрочем, все равно если голос надо на английском, то пас в этом.

What about language?

#13

It is unclear whether you need a presentation of tone or a viral video? where is the connection? what do you want to hear that tone is freedom or a full answer and it will not work viral, and time for such an answer you need 60 seconds imaginary and viral it will not work. Whatever the competition is really cool, you don’t need to push people into some strict limits - I am an artist, I see it that way! And about the language, I also offer freedom of choice, not to limit it only to English.

YouTube or other platforms for popularizing video, as I understand it

#16

Yep, it should be added that the video should be on a video-hosting platform, google drive etc.

In AVI/MP4/etc formats.

I take it the prize pool is unlimited for this contest? (based on the proposed award system) If the competition budget is limited, you can consider Option 2, described in this topic Prizes and contests. Time is not a token

And I want to clarify, what does the “difficulty” parameter mean in this contest? And who will evaluate how “difficult” it was ?

It turns out that you need to give two ratings. The “difficulty” rating and the standard score from the jury.

You also need to specify the format and resolution of the video, for example: 16:9 (1920x1080) , 1:1 (1080x1080), 9:16 (1080x1920)

About the voice - very often videos in social networks in the feed are watched without sound, but read the titles. Not the fact that the voice will give the atmosphere. Against the background of an epic soundtrack, it is not particularly necessary sometimes.

I suggest making voice-over an optional item.
A time frame of no more than 1 minute. Unless it’s a narrative video for youtube.

Awesome competition because I wanna promote TON by using video, still have any time for joining competition because I ever make any video in bounty campaign and I think my skill is not really bad for creating video.
