MERRY TEMPMAS EVERYONE!
It's that time of the year again!

We are excited to begin our 2016 tempmas competition! This year we've got an amazing prize for you: a brand new Nintendo Switch console up for grabs! Of course we haven't got our hands on a console yet so it'll actually be a preorder, but still!

So what will you have to do to enter this year? The theme is wide and leaves a lot of room for imagination: Create a short Tempmas-themed video (up to 1 minute long)

Now please carefully read the rules below if you wish to enter:
Who can enter: any registered GBAtemp user, new or old. One entry per user. No geographical restrictions.
Enter before: the 31st at 12PM (noon) UTC
Video format restrictions: video must be up to 1 minute long. Shorter is OK. Longer will be rejected. How to enter: upload your video to YouTube, DailyMotion or Filetrip and post the link in this thread.
Content restrictions: no nudity, violence, pornography, anything illegal, or against regular forum rules.

There will be a public vote (only open to certain member groups though! if you register now just to vote it's already too). Make sure to log on to GBAtemp on the first week of January to cast your vote.

Now, use your imagination to come up with something that will put a smile on everyone's face! The video can be digitally edited, created from scratch on a computer, or simply recorded with a camera (ie. record yourself singing a Tempmas song... record yourself baking a Tempmas cake... etc.).

Have fun making your video and have a very merry Tempmas!
The GBAtemp Team

I wonder why we are seeing so many digitally created videos and not camera recordings ? anyone with a mobile phone or a tablet can technically enter

Like the guy who made the video where he said, "why do you look like me?" "Because you dont have any friends"... Filming takes a few people, and it's hard. Most of us spend more time with computers than we do with other people.

Though I certainly enjoy shooting with a crew a lot more you can still prop a phone/camera/webcam/whatever up on a shelf, figure out the focus and where the framing is at and talk into it/wave your arms/do a backflip by yourself.

I guess filming with an actual camera feels limited and I have a hard time being creative with it.

 

[Pecrow]

I agree, and indeed there are a few videos here where they did just that (place a camera on a desk, etc) but actually filming the tempmas video would require quite a lot more planning, preparation, location, etc. Some of us, including myself, are quite shy, so I'd rather do an animation then show up on video, lol.

for me it was the fact of rendering takes ages when using actual footage not to mention syncing audio and requiring atleast 1 other person or a really stable stand in order to shoot footage.

I agree here as well, I actually used a very old laptop from 2012 to make this video. Rendering the 1 minute (45mb) file took about half an hour... now imagine footage.

I need to say hi here before I post or it'll seem like im here just to win. I originally created a digital video but I kinda wanted to practice making a skit, so it'll take some time. I do agree that making a recorded video is pretty hard and the fact some are shy. (I do like the idea of that one guy wearing shades though!) I think I have enough time. The problem for me is my families going to hear what I say and its going to be awkward

 

[BLsquared]

Dang. So many good animations.
Well, Since mine still has good progress made, might as well finish it and hope for the best!

I have the perfect video coming up today I think... If I do it will be live and very cringe. We are number one.

Here's my entry! Looks like I wasn't the only one who thought to make a romhack.

Can you modify these last messages after the battle so it says:

screw you im leaving GBATemp

That would be too unrealistic. Such people don't leave gbatemp, but fester.

Unfortunately, I won't have time to finish my video ... I have a crazy schedule right now but here's a preview of what it would've looked like. All the characters appearance are based on the "Post your picture thread" ... I was almost done with the animation and the script was written but I won't have time to do the voice recordings and finish everything on time. Good luck to all and I wish you a happy new year ... emm Tempmas

PS: in case you didn't figure it out, the characters are @Costello , @VinsCool , @BORTZ and Angel Densetsu (RIP)

 

[GamerUnity]

Lmao, I actually had a bit of trouble with this since Sony Vegas isn't my specialty.

Let's have a Merry Tempmas and hope for the best 2017 won't be disastrous.
