Ragnarok World Championship 2011 Community Events
#1
Posted 04 August 2011 - 09:59 AM
Though the dust has barely cleared from the madness that was USRC, the Ragnarok World Championship looms large on the horizon. This October, players from 11 servers will be meeting in Seoul to do battle. Our USRC champs will be voyaging across the great sea with shining swords and polished skills, but there will be events going on in and out of the game that everyone can participate in.
There are 3 contests that iRO will be competing in, running from August 4th-August 31st:
RWC theme song contest
We have been provided with sheet music and wav file versions of the song, entrants can sing the vocals or create a instrumental version or can use the existing music and must submit as a video. Live action, animation or game play edits are allowed as long as the audio uses the RWC theme.
Link for the sheet music
Instrumental version WAV
Vocal version WAV
Cosplay contest
Dress up time! No cell phone camera pics!
Fan Art Event
You can have RWC (players fighting player) or general Ragnarok themes for the artwork. The top 10 will be displayed in the tournament event hall in Korea!
In each of these three events, the top 10 will be choosen and sent up to Gravity HQ. These 10 will receive a special art DVD/cosplay album/fan artbook (respectively). They will be posted up on the RWC website and will be voted on by players around the world. Out of these 100 or so entries, 3 winners will be choosen and will be showcased on the RWC website.
Let's show the Ragnaroks of the world what iRO can do! More information to follow!
Update 8/16 added files for RO character poster and logo (you can use photoshop or a free image program like GIMP to edit this.)

Since the limit for videos is 5 minutes and the song is only a little longer than 1 minute, you may want to use some RO BGM or creative commons/royalty free music such as found here.
Update 8/23/11 We just received word that the english version of the RWC website is live. It has some previous examples of winning cosplay, fanart and video entries. Check it out http://2011rwc.gnjoy...11/en/index.asp

This sounds like fun, though.
Anyways, what Blubba said was a good comment. What's the format? .avi? .wmv? .mp4!? xD Length restrictions? Size for optimization? [Full Screen? 3oox6oo?]

- How to submit the entries? What about huge video and psd files?
- For cosplay photos, are groups where the submitter is in the photo allowed (see my signature for example), given you have the consent of the other people portrayed? Or, only one single person is allowed?

We'll get some threads set up for each contest, where you can post a web-friendly version of the final product (or keep us updated with work-in-progress stuff). I think for the final submissions I will set up a dropbox or similar web storage service for you guys to submit and updateSome other questions:
Thanks a lot in advance.
- How to submit the entries? What about huge video and psd files?
- For cosplay photos, are groups where the submitter is in the photo allowed (see my signature for example), given you have the consent of the other people portrayed? Or, only one single person is allowed?
-The example image from HQ has multiple people dressed up in it, but it sounds like from a legal perspective they are asking for single cosplay shots...I'll have to get some clarification on that. I think they're worried about people submitting pictures of other people that they may not have permission from. I think this is the kind of thing that they're looking for:
Shot of a single person dressed in RO costume, good lighting, interesting camera angle, you get a good sense of the quality of the costume and the pose fits with the class.
Also, I need to find out what the rules are if say, you created the costume but are not the model.
