Harb40 Passion Competition Website Hitfilm has signed on as a new sponsor and will be offering a few copies of their great software for prizes. M.D. McCallum (aka War Lord) has also signed on and will be offering up a couple copies of his iClone Beginner's Guide.


Things are really looking up for this year's competition. All entries this year will go through the forums on the competition website.


Stay tuned for more updates.

Harb40 Passion Competition Website The redesigned website is now up. I added a forums section that is publically viewable but registration is required to post. You can reach the forums either by going to the main site or by going straight to the forums themselves.

I hope you like the new place to visit. We also added a sedction to the main site so people can learn a little more about who Harb40 is.


For those who are interested in this competition, please go to the forums section and let your voices be heard. Who knows, the sponsors we already have, and those I am trying to get signed on, may look at the posts and help out more if they see more activity.

This will also give us some ideas of what you are looking for in a competition and keep the themes fresh. Let us know if there are any sponsors you would like to see and prizes you think would be good. Post them in the forums on the Passion Competition website current and future sponsors can see.

Harb40 Passion Competition Website I have updated the site with a new design and also added a forums section. You can reach the forums either by going to the main site or by going straight to the forums themselves.

I am still learning the ins and outs of web design so I have not been able to set up a link to go back to the main site once on the forums yet. I am working on that. So, to go back to the main site, you will need to manually do that.

I hope you like the new place to visit.

Harb40 Passion Competition Website Greetings Muvizu'ers. Some of you may remember that last year we expanded the Passion Competition to include the Muvizu community. Unfortunately we didn't receive a single entry from you. Hopefully that will change this year.

The Passion Competition now has it's own dedicated website that gives an explanation of what the competition is all about, past competitions and winners and links to the different machinima engines, video hosting sites, video/audio software sites and more.

The site is still going through a few upgrades. Eventually all entries will go through the site itself instead of the TMOA Radio forums. Check out the site and stay tuned for more info on this year's competition.

2011 Harb40 Passion Competition Official Rules A question was posed by Ken during the announcement of the competition on the Ken & Cathy show about multi-part films. Would they be considered 1 film or each part a seperate film?

Answer:
If the film was too big to be released in 1 part, then all parts would be considered 1 film as long as they are all submitted as 1 entry. In other words, you had to upload it in 2 or 3 sections due to file size limits, time durations, etc.

If the film was made in the likes of the Indiana Jones saga (each film had it's own seperate storyline) or like Star Wars (each film had a different episode number) then they would be considered seperate films. Films like Conquest, The Dark and Chronicles of Humanity, (these are machinima films) each seperate film would be considered a seperate entry.

2011 Harb40 Passion Competition Official Rules Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, machinimators of all ages, once again it is time for us to embark on the journey through people's minds and creativity and see what their ideas of passion are. So, without further ado, I give you the:


2011 Harb40 Passion Competition.

2011 Passion Competition Rules and Guidelines

Ethics also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality -- that is, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc.

Good versus evil contradiction is the eternal story of mankind. The universe is made of oppositions, contrasts, conflicts and dilemma. The stories of God and Satan highlight this. There are also examples such as police forces versus criminals, arguments between husbands and wives (the wife is always right, right?) and even land owners versus city expansion (eminent domain).

The task at hand will be to make a film showcasing the struggle between GOOD and EVIL, RIGHT and WRONG.

Rules and Guidelines

Dates: September 4, 2011 to November 12, 2011 (12 midnight EST)

Film Length: The film can be any length.

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, Muvizu, Poser, Daz, The Sims, game engines such as Halo, GTA, COD, WOW and more) or live action. Any form you desire.

Required Theme Element: Must show the struggle between Good and Evil, Right and Wrong. Any films not done in English should have English subtitles so the judging panel can fully understand the dialog.

Where to upload: Can be uploaded to any site (YouTube, Vimeo, Veoh, TMU, etc.) but a link must be given in the submission form. (example below)

Warnings: 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.

Persons not eligible: Due to the nature of the prizes, the 2010 1st place winner, Ben Tuttle, will not be eligible for the 2011 competition. His eligibility will resume in 2012. The 3 top finishers in the 2011 competition will not be eligible for the 2012 competition. Basically, anyone who is awarded prizes for finishing in the top 3 will not be eligible for the next year’s competition. This will be a permanent rule.

Harb40 Passion Competition You are correct Emily, last year the competition was mainly limited to the iClone, Moviestorm and TMU communities. This year the competition is expanding into the Muvizu, IMVU, The Sims and Second Life communitities also.

I linked the Official announcement from last year so those who were unaware of the competition could get a sense of what it is about. The 2011 competition will take place later this year. The official theme of the competition will be posted with the official announcement around August. Once again, Sony Software, Reallusion and Moviestorm have agreed to sponsor the competition and they have donated software for prizes.

I just wanted the Muvizu community to know that there are other parts of the machinima community out there and other contests/competitions that they can enter. I will post more information on this year's competition as it becomes available.

The official submission point will be on the TMOA Forums later this year. Keep your eyes and ears open for more info.
