Big Money! Big Prizes! I Love It!
Some of you may have seen the Altitude Ladder already and some you have may not. If you haven't had a chance to check out it out yet then make sure to check out www.altitudeladder.net and to also check out the Altitude Ladder Thread.
If you weren't aware we have 1000 Community Points to give away as prizes and a lot of you have been wondering how you can get your hands on those very Community Points Prizes. I can't blame you, with the world economy failing around us it is no wonder that Community Points became the new Gold Standard. Pretty soon you will start seeing websites like Cash4CommunityPoints replacing Cash4Gold. But I digress. As for the Community Points, the categories and prize values have been determined. The first group of points are going to go to ladder participants. They will break down as follows: 1st Place: 150 Points 2nd Place: 100 Points 3rd Place: 50 Points Most Games Played: 100 Points The season will end March 15th at 8PM EST. All ranks and point determination will be made at that time and date. So some of you might be saying that you don't think you can become ranked in the top three of the ladder and maybe you don't want to get involved in the madness of trying to get the most games played. Well don't worry, the majority of Community Points are going to be prizes for our other contest. The contest is simple. We are looking for something Community related in order to get the word of Altitude and the Altitude Ladder out to the masses. In all likelihood this is going to be a video of some kind with intense action, fast cuts, and explosive text. However, if you think that there is something else you could do that would blow our minds then by all means feel free to submit something else. The rules are simple, if you submit a video it should be posted on Youtube with the name "Altitude Game: Competitive Ladder" Ideally the videos should be somewhere in the range of 1 minute long. If you make or do something else and want it to be considered for the contest then feel free to submit it. At the end of the contest we will have a vote for the best entries. Please email all entries with your in game name, VaporID and a link to your entry to altitudeladder@gmail.com. This contest will also end on March 15th and 8PM EST. 1st Prize: 300 Community Points 2nd Prize: 200 Community Points 3rd Prize: 100 Community Points Good Luck!

iMovie is really Good. I don't think Camtasia For Mac is watermarked either. iMovie is default on most Mac Systems, especially if you have iLife.
If that doesn't work, PM me and we can talk more. Don't want this thread to become about finding software.

Correction: iMovie is bad. Also, it doesn't do screencasts as far as I know (though I really am not the one to talk about it as I stopped using it altogether after Apple ruined the suite's effectiveness with the versions following iMovie HD '06).
I'd love to create an entry or two for this contest, as soon as I find a cheap screen recorder for Mac that suits my purposes. Then I'll fire up my makeshift editing studio and get to work! Edit: Is there a preferred frame-size or aspect ratio for the entries? 720x480 or 1280x720 (HD) are both possibilities for the video I'm planning to make.

wolf'j'max, i would prefer your video doesn't have any watermarks, but I understand that good video recording software is hard to come by. I am trying to see if I can get a certain member of the community to put together a downloadable "video pack" of like 10 or so video clips that could be used by people. I will keep you updated if this will become available.

Just an update to this thread. I don't know if anyone is working on any videos for the fabulous community points prizes, but we have chosen to extend the first ladder season. The final date is not set it stone, but I will announce it once we know and will most likely be sometime in the beginning to mid april. As a result, the final submission date for the video entries has been extended! Keep working hard and show us what ya got!

Never fear, the unbeatable tyr and pie team is here!
Seriously though, thanks for extending the deadline. Now I won't have to work nonstop for the next week to produce something acceptable. Last edited by Pieface; 03-07-2010 at 03:39 AM.

I have created a video promoting the ladder and the game. I hope that it gives inspiration to everyone else out there who was thinking of creating entries to this contest! Let me know what you think. (I apologize about the poor quality, but youtube isn't very good)

You can find the combined entry that tyr and I submitted here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZbn0eZggXM This is the first real project I've edited in After Effects as part of a motion graphics course I'm taking, so I apologize for the rough edges. Don't know if anyone else submitted anything, but just because the contest is over doesn't mean it's too late to whip something up! The more videos and publicity we get out for this game and ladder, the better. Anyway, we'd appreciate any feedback anyone would care to give. Special thanks go to Kevin MacLeod for providing the awesome royaltee-free music.

Nice Work Pieface. Makes me want to put something together.
Edit: the music is nice. I believe the title of the soundtrack is "Achilles" by Kevin MacLeod, confirm/deny? Last edited by Ajuk999; 04-16-2010 at 11:59 PM.

Well even though there wasn't any competition in the end, Pieface and tyr were still able to put together a great promotional video. Make sure you check it out, I will also be linking it on the main page of the Altitude Ladder website.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZbn0eZggXM So congratulations to Pieface and tyr as they take home the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for a whopping total of 600 community points!

The font was called "Cracked," and was one of the few that I thought looked good with the rest of the video. Not sure if it was installed as part of the Mac OS or came as part of the package on the After Effects disc, though.
@Ajuk: "Achilles" was indeed the music that we used for the project. Kudos to Kevin for some great work!
