WoW Music Video Contest: Why only three songs? |
Ó
Making the most of of the least? That appears to be the discussion at the World of Warcraft forums these days, following the recently announced WoW Music Video Contest being sponsored by the three-way alliance of Blizzard, Nvidia, and Machinima.com.
It seems that some the forum members are in a sour note over the contest rules, which dictate that contestants must use one of three The Ataris' songs ("Not Capable of Love", "Connections are More Dangerous Than Lies", or "The Cheyenne Line"). Many of the thread posters criticized this move, saying that it would only hamper the creativity of any contestant that decided to join the event. And while we've been hearing their side of the current dispute, Blizzard sent in spokesman Nethaera to explain why the contest rules were drawn up the way they were:
The problem we've seen in the past is that some really great videos have been disqualified due to the fact that they used copyrighted music which violated contest rules. By having specific songs that have permission to be used in this way, video creators will not have to worry about that end of their submission.
I'm confident that there are some great creative minds out there that can work on something entertaining with these selections.
Good luck to those of you that take part!
The WoW MV contest submissions began this May 1, and is scheduled to end this June 5, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. The selection of the contest's 10 finalists is expected to take place from June 11, 2007 to June 16, 2007, with voting taking place on June 17, 2007, at 12:00 a.m. PT, until June 26, 2007, at 11:59 p.m. Contest Winners will be announced on June 30.
