Ivy Machinima Contest

Post by Nathanael Draper aka Crazzy Moose (www.youtube.com/crazzymoose)

IMPORTANT! We currently have two entries in the Ivy Film Festival and we want to WIN!

You can view both of our entries here

Why are we telling you this? First of all its for your personal entertainment because they are both definitely very entertaining. Secondly, we'd like to ask for your help. We would like you to go and give both those videos your honest opinion. We don't want you to rate them 6/6 just because you are so dearly a fan of Wacky Canoe and love everything we make. Actually, I lied, I would really love it if you gave it 6/6 stars and all the opposition nothing (don't reate them), but that would be dishonest. On the other hand, if you're completely biased, have no taste and utterly hate our videos then please don't assume they suck. In my personal opinion these are two of our better Machinima works. They're not the typical stuff we do so it is a little hard to judge, but they are very good from an artsy stand point.

One of the two entries has been pre-released so you may have already seen it. The other one has been pre-released but was originally on my youtube channel (crazzymoose). If you would like to help, actualy, I AM COMANDING YOU TO HELP! Go and make a Machinima.com account right now. It's free, it's easy and it's fast. This way you can also keep up with us on Machinima.com. After you create your account please go to the Ivy Competition Page (you'll ind the link on the right of the Machinima home page) and give both videos and honest rating (preferably a very high one).

Usually we don't do this kind of please help us outy kind of stuff. I have realized that most people either absolutely love the stuff we make, or they absolutely hate it. This is the case with most things but I have found it has come across very strongly for us. This is not, bad, in fact I think its kind of good. The only problem is that the first round is a rating system and in order to move on you need to make it into the top ten fan votes. I think that a decent judge group would really apreciate the mesages coming across in the videos but the typical Machinima fan deems it as "different" than what they expect from Machinima so they rate it low. I know I'm jumping to conclusions but that is what happens on youtube so I think its going to happen here.

Please check out the ivy Competition videos and give your honest opinion. Help us beat Xanatos.
