x6 Stefan, the Mega-Microsoftie, teamed up with Bill from Microsoft Hardware to showcase some of our newest gaming keyboards and mice last week… and you guys are the lucky benefactors of this meeting because Bill decided who better to have some of these brand-spankin’-new-amber-glowing-high-fraggin’-devices than you 8ers!??!

So if you want one, here’s the deal: you need to make a Stefan the Mega-Microsoftie trailer!

 

 

 

 

 

The rules are simple:

  • The trailer should be at least 30 seconds but no more than 2 minutes in length
  • You may use any Channel 8 footage you wish, but primarily I imagine you would use the Stefan pieces
    • Tip: highlight the “downloads” link and you will see WMV and WMV (High) download options which would work well for editing
  • Be as creative as you like, if you’re having idea-generation problems, check this out
  • One entry per person
  • Best 5 to be chosen by Stefan himself… in fact, you may even receive personal commentary
  • Don’t try to scam the system, because I reserve the right to change the rules pretty much whenever necessary Smiley
  • Submissions should be uploaded to your choice location (SoapBox, Vimeo—my personal favorite, YouTube, your own file share) and shared with all of us as a comment on this very post
  • Deadline is October 31st, 11:59pm Pacific Time!

The moment you've all been waiting for, my entry!

Tools used were audacity and Windows Movie Maker.

I prefer non crappy quality straight WMV vs Youtube or Vimeo.

Plus I can keep the videos uncompressed and publish in 720P HD.

The black backgrounds are darker in the HD version, the text is cleaner as well...

Thanks for the recommendation to Vimeo Max, I love it! Trumps YouTube Wink I love how fluid everything is Smiley

Enjoy.. it's a bit cr@ppy, but I'm no video-stitching extraordinaire... so I hope it'll do.

You guys and gals make some good videos somehow I am starting to think I have not even scratched the surface of what Windows Movie Maker can do. Smiley
