That video does the exact opposite of what you want it to do. It's also feels more like a music video than an actual advertisement. You're not trying to "move" people to play this map through some kinda of spiritual uprising.
It needs to be short, concise and show why people should go out of their way to play it. Right now I'm not seeing any of that in the video. You should cut out the majority of that and keep only the boldest points. Don't tell a story. . . create a call to action.
Feel free to vote, or you may also participate in making an advertising video candidate for the project. You can use any of the resource video clips, edit them together, and pm me with your finished project.
Just wondering why it says vote for 2nd map of the week when we haven't even published the first MotW. Also will we name it MapoftheWeek or Map of the Week or MotW or what?
I think it should be the first or third one so the words Map, of, the, and Week don't get individually searched bringing up 20 million videos because they have the word map or the or of or week.
we're voting for the first 3 weeks before we release it, just so it'll be all set up. also, the official name stays map of the week, but the acronym is just the effective shorthand
On the other hand, there's a natural map of the week going on in the US server. Every week, there has been a new map rising to the top out of nowhere. It stays for awhile then drop off. Another new map rises to the top. Generally, its about 1 new map per week. Currently, there's THREE new map at the top. Gem TD, Last Stand, and Space Zombies.
Guess the map of the week is already happening on its own.
Also have to say, been able to play one new map a week makes the custom map a lot more fun. People keep coming back next week to see what new map to play. The good old days are done, but so long as this natural map of week keeps happening, custom mapping remains fun.
i've been going through hell with school and all... i admit that i've had to take a break and may continue to do so for some time. i did a good share with the ads and the poll page (which i accidentally deleted and had to remake) so i'm gonna pass the torch to anyone willing for a while. All we have to do now is coordinate the thing with the publishers (who are currently tied... BLECH) and someone to post a news article on the front page. basically, we throw my ad video into the news article, give a good detail of what we're planning and ask people to spread the word, and we set a release date. we have to settle on this, and i'm the only one really watching this thread.
i'm just gonna keep the secondary page link up
http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/motw/pages/main/
read my previous posts to understand what this link is
@CrazyTwigman: Go
thnks
help me out here people... need more links. so far, i only have 2 (one of them my own), and stealthsam has agreed to produce a workable vid in time.
we can't make a good advertisement video without enough clips of the submitted maps, so please take the time to send me some vids...
i already pm'ed a few people about it
As i said before... This Is The Main Page For The Final Revolution :/
http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/player-zone/map-feedback/23891-the-final-revolution-unique-map/#p11
we got 3 resource vids so far... keep it up (why hasn't rodrigo submitted one?)
anyway if you have a map submitted or would like to submit a map, i would encourage you to loan the project videos of your map
as i said before, video editors can use this in-game footage to stitch together an advertising video for the project.
thnks
5 vids are up... i'm gonna start editing together my own advertisement from the given footage.
i hope that mine is not the only candidate, and that other people take up the challenge to make a vid...
ONCE AGAIN, here's the page link where all of the resource vids are stored
http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/motw/pages/main/
heres my vid

POLL FOR WEEK 2 HAS ARRIVED
Good news, people. I've added the poll to choose the second week's map on this link: http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/motw/
Feel free to vote, or you may also participate in making an advertising video candidate for the project. You can use any of the resource video clips, edit them together, and pm me with your finished project.
Thanks.
plz keeype voating, poasting, and pleese doen't fourget two speel corextly
I've never seen a poll like that. At least 5 maps hold 50% of the votes right now, and I mean EACH map, so all maps together hold at least 250% lol.
Just wondering why it says vote for 2nd map of the week when we haven't even published the first MotW. Also will we name it MapoftheWeek or Map of the Week or MotW or what?

@thepumaman1: Go

I was wondering what happened to map of the week.

help if you can, ignore this if you must
It was actually a good idea... Too bad Rodrigo never acted upon it. Just up and left. Anyone know if he's still alive?
@Thetubbygoat: Go
He's still here. Or at least, still using his account. Last log was 15 hours ago.
