Does this belong better in news? =x Feel free to move it if needed
I guess it's about time I do my part to make this known!
For CCSF'08 I will be putting together a sort of video-montage, and everyone in the CC is welcome (and encouraged) to participate!
All you have to do is capture a short in-game video of yourself doing whatever you do best in your favorite Creatures game, and submit it along with a short message to be added to the video.
Then I will crop/trim all the clips (so everyone will have roughly the same amount of "screen time" and we're not staring at the same creature for five minutes getting bored), overlay the messages people sent in with the clips, put some silly music in the background, and hopefully in the end we will have a not-too-boring little video that sums up the Creatures Community!
Now I know capturing in-game video isn't something everyone just naturally knows how to do, so I wrote up a pretty extensive tutorial on how to do so.
That tutorial, however, is meant for the absolute beginner and explains every simple step in sometimes ridiculous detail, so I went ahead and wrote a condensed version that just contains the very basics but uses the same section numbering system so you can refer back to the full version if need be. Finally, the actual guidelines and submission form for the montage can be found here.
It's still a bit of a work in progress so if you get confused at any point or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in this thread or drop me a PM. I'll be glad to do all I can to help you get your clip in the montage!
The deadline is November 30th, so you have a while, but don't put it off too long!
