Thanks for the link SeeMyu. I've just finished converting the files to a different format, so even though it looks like I lost quality, at least I can work with them now It's weird that I had this problem in the middle of my project, as if all of my files somehow converted/compressed themselves without my knowing.

I will probably be a late entry as well, but of course I'll try to submit my film ASAP.

I hope I won't be the only one to post the final round, but here it is.



Title: Marsie
Director: Sol Frost (Sulyuki)
Cast: Marsie, Sander, Joe, Emely, Cade, Ramona, Hjalle and Truls
Genre: Drama
Rating: 11+
Time Length: 5:44

The CC is by me, there's just some on Marsie, that's all.

I think I'm bankrupt, I don't have a million to pay back the loan, unless unused GOJF cards are refundable.

Awesome! Thank you for submitting your Round 5 entry! I'll be updating further on what I plan on doing with these round 5 entries.

Tomorrow is the very last day I will be accepting Round 5 entries. If you submit your Round 5 entry after the late entry deadline, it will not be counted. Please be wise!

Yay, I'm so glad you were able to finish and submit your entry Sulyuki!

SeeMyu, I plan on getting mine in ASAP, I'm just running into "unknown error" every time I try to export my project to video Can it be turned in any time tomorrow (well, technically today), or is it before midnight of the 31st, or another specific time...?

Unfortunately, I am having to close it officially tonight... or... in the morning of tomorrow. :/ I hope you can get past your unknown error! Have you tried searching for any fixes for it? There might be some out there..

Thanks SeeMyu! I eventually did figure out what the issue was, thankfully.. And just in time!

Final Scores and Winner Announced!

To be completely fair.. I decided to not judge the fifth round..partly because majority of my judges were in-responsive. If you did submit a machinima for the final round, you were rewarded bonus points; +50 points if submitted in time and +25 if submitted as a late entry. Those points have been added to your final score. If you were not able to pay back the loan you had taken out, you lost -10 points for every 100,000 you were missing, and -5 for every 50,000. Those estimates have been concluded in your final score as well. Your total has been bolded. Check underneath the table for the winner announcement.

Holy fuckin' shit PunkyBreester, that's amazing. I'm impressed with everyone's films, but, wow. Where the hell did you find that soundtrack?!

Oh wow, thank you everyone! I'm so glad my machinima was well-received, because when I look at it all I see are the things I didn't have time to change or fix!

I'm also sad to see this contest go.. I can't believe its actually been five months! When's the next one SeeMyu?

For those of you who are interested in the music I used, you can find it here!

I knew Punky would win as soon as I saw the trailer, which was very good.

Well done SeeMyu to keep it going for five months even with almost everyone leaving.

Thanks Sulyuki I was very impressed with your movie, particularly some of the effects (like the newspaper picture, and especially the stick hitting Marsie with the blood)! And as Jaguwar said, it is a very sweet story.

And yes, thank you so much SeeMyu for sticking with us all this time. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have most people drop out of the contest, lose contact with your judges, and especially to keep getting asked for extensions But this was a great contest and I'm really glad it was my first to enter (let alone actually win)!

Congrats to all those who made it to the final few rounds (contestants and judges alike) and to See for finishing his first contest (eventually ). And of course, congrats to Punky!


I may have missed this being discussed earlier in the thread but if not:

To all of those who finished or got close to finishing their entry; have you thought about finishing up/polishing it if needed and submitting it as an entry to EA’s official Inspiring Creativity Contest? As far as I understand it, you’re allowed to submit something you made in game so why not; what’s the worst that could happen? There’s a couple of weeks left until the deadline and there’s pretty damn good real world prizes up for grabs

Well done punky!!!! But I am really sad I didn't get to see Jags film *sad face* This on my, was huge dedication of time and efforts and sanity. But was totally worth it on all levels, I am glad I could help out Seemyu where I was and so sorry it too me so long at times. O.o these summer holidays have been so full on for me!!!!

Im so proud of everyone apart of this xx Love you all.
