Okay so it's the 29th - the last day for submitting entries for the Next Gen Machinima contest. Contest closes at 12:00pm that night. I was up late the night before working on my machinima and up early that morning. Production is fast, the machinima is practically done. My girlfriend and I go see the 3:45pm Dark Knight show at the movie theatre (great movie btw), since I'm sure the machinima will be complete within another 2 hours. Dark Knight turns out to be a little longer than I expected, I get home around 7:30pm. My computer is running slow as shit from being on all day. Our internet temporarily goes down. I decide to publish a rushed version of the machinima to make sure that I get it in on time. 11:00pm - I'm done and still have a whole hour ahead of me- whew, that was a close call. I hit the publish button to save the movie as a file (this normally takes 10-15 minutes), then I will upload it to Machinima.com as a contest entry (another 10-15 minutes). My girlfriend and I watch Supernatural to pass the time. My computer has other plans. It's 11:50pm and the damn thing isn't done saving the file. I stress a little. 11:59 - the file is saved. I go on to machinima.com to upload it and watch with my own two eyes the "Submit" link disappear. :(
Ah well, no use crying over spilt milk. I will upload a final version to Youtube and Machinima in the near future so keep a close eye on the blog as that's probably going to happen today. Actually sure, I'll put the link at the bottom of this post and update when the machinima is ready. Enjoy- I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

lol, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if I were you. I hope you update the link soon- I want to check this machinima out.
ReplyDeleteAw man, too bad. Don't worry about it too much though, Digitalph33r and Harabek, and other popular machinimators didn't get paid for their first episodes either.

He comes out with a new project about every week FlamingBartender. Sometimes it's a machinima, sometimes it's a map, sometimes it's a video about a map and sometimes it's just completely random.
