Aug 11, 2009 - RuneScape Machinima Competition
Did you know that "RuneScape" is one of the top five terms searched for on YouTube? As such, we like to check out the latest films made by the many RuneScape movie boffins out there. They're so good, in fact, that we've teamed up with one of RuneScape's most talented machinima (films made with game engines) masterminds, TehNoobShow, to launch a competition to seek out the most entertaining player-made RuneScape video known to humankind. The rules are simple: create an original video short (around two minutes) that's both entertaining and creative, in the RuneScape game.

The competition launches today, and you have until the closing date of 25th August to submit your videos on the YouTube website. When the entries are in, Andrew, Mark Gerhard and some video-hungry members of the Community Management team will then shortlist five finalists. Those five videos will then feature in a RuneScape weekly poll, allowing the community to choose their favourite.

The video with the most votes will be declared the winner and will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Jagex Games Studios, from wherever they are in the world, and, once here, they will get to meet the developers and creative types that bring RuneScape to life. We'll then send them off with an armful of signed Jagex goodies. The four runners-up will bag some membership, autographed t-shirts, mugs, mouse mats, mice and other stuff.

Please note that all videos must be made within RuneScape (live action isn't machinima), and must be submitted via YouTube. We cannot accept entries sent to the Postbag or Gallery email. For a full list of rules and conditions, and to see an example video from TehNoobShow, subscribe to our YouTube page at www.youtube.com/runescape. If you've a question about the competition or are looking for some tips on making your own video, check out this forum thread. We can't wait to start checking out the contents of your creative brains.

We keep a metal penguin in storage just for times like these

Definantly a good idea.

Wow this is cool.

Hopefully some kid from ethiopia wins, goes to London, and escapes to become a refugee there.

This is the sort of shit JaGex needs.

We should do an RC community one.

I heard Tehnoobshow never had a thing on Kakrida, Gener_Al and Trilf.

Autographed T-Shirts?!?!?!?

Lol, well, good luck to whoever does this.

But we should definately have a Runecrypt one here (even though we had one before )

Well I submitted The Perfect Girl but considering it's vulgarity and how it was done 4 years ago I probably won't win. But it's worth a shot haha and it's so worth it if Andrew sees how he's depicted in my movies

That made me go Watch MPX's videos again. I forgot how much I loved them even though how cheesy they were.

oh i definitely won't win it has to follow runescape rules

Phoronida Chrysanthemum Porifera rules

Pwittey foowlli shick.

If you don't want to come alone you can invite a friend. What if three people did it together...?

I'd like to congrats you not not reading the rules, MPX
I.E. Under 2 minutes etc.

Working on one atm, let's hope it goes over good.

I'm very tempted to seek out Kakrida and see if he will submit the vids he made with some of RC's members. Those were very entertaining.

I have him added on myspace. If you want to seek him out - it won't take me long to contact him at all.

I have his msn, but i haven't seen him on in some time. If you think he would be interested in re-promoting his vids; feel free too message him. ^^

Ok will do. Any reason to bug Kakrida is a good reason for me
