Hello everyone,
If you are reading this, you most likely are a friend or Twitter follower of mine. As many of you probably know, I have been trying incredibly hard this year to get into E3. The Kmart contest failed and applying by my own merits also unfortunately failed. I thought all hope was lost until Sebastian Marco a.k.a @gundamman on Twitter who has been amazingly helpful sent me a link to what will most likely be the last E3 contest I'll get the chance to enter. This contest is from 1Up.com, a very high profile gaming site. I've looked at the posts of past winners for this contest and I pretty much need multimedia, especially video if I even want even a shot at winning. I am definitely doing some videos on my own but there is one I would love to do if I could get enough people to volunteer.
My idea is to have a compilation of different people talking about why I deserve to go to E3. I have some great quotes from great people which I will recycle and use again but having something like that in video form would be amazing. The videos can be done however you like, serious, goofy, whatever you are thinking. I'd like them to be at least 15 seconds but probably no more than a minute or so. I would only use this if I can get at least 5 people to do it. I don't even care how bad the video quality is. If you have a webcam, shoot it and email it to me at sheardude@gmail.com or if you wanna upload it to YouTube, I have ways of downloading it from there. If you have a smartphone, you can even shoot it on there and email it to me at sheardude@gmail.com with the video. I know you can do that on iPhone at least which means there should be a way to do that on Android too, maybe BlackBerry and Windows Phone as well.
There is no guarantee I will win. The 3-10 minutes you spend shooting could mean nothing if I am not picked. Even so, I still respect that you tried and I can probably use it for 2012 E3 contests if my fool proof plan to get in in 2012 backfires. This is my last chance to make a 7 year dream come true. Otherwise it will just jump up to 8 years. If you are willing to help out or have any questions for me, feel free to comment below.
