I don't know how you're going to manage a 30sec video with that many people Hamma. Maybe you can all shout at the camera at the same time and then we can slowly piece the stories together over time. As for language I'm betting they were just using them as adjectives to describe their emotions at the time. Considering that early videos were probably just done on the spur of the moment I'm not surprised. What would suck though would be if they couldn't resubmit something after they've been disqualified for their first attempt.

Still waiting for clarification.

Edit:
Fuggit, I'll do it anyway and submit it.

bah @ 102 words I wouldn't call nerves of steel a story but if I have 30 seconds I'll do what I must...

I've tried many times to bring my Planetside vet experience down to 30 seconds. And I've come to the conclusion that my Planetside experience is similar to Peter Jackson and what he's doing to The Hobbit. He wants every grain of detail in that book to reflect on his movie that he's splitting up The Hobbit into three movies.

I am the same way when it comes to Planetside. When you're passionate about a game like Planetside, to get a whole experience down to 30 seconds is rather hard. Glad we're doing that video next month in Tennessee.

Just submitted mine.
Take 1: Cat started rubbing against the web cam.
Take 2: Realized my laptop mic. was picking up all my laptop noises and sounded really annoying.
Take 3: Plugged in a USB mic. and it finally sounded good!

After 3 takes I don't think the video and/or story got any better though

Fitting in what I wanted to say in 30 seconds was rough too. I had to cut myself off in the middle of a sentence.
