the enigma that is badger wrote:Although in all honesty, WWII scenes are something we've all certainly seen a good deal of on this board. It's natural, given all the great WWII accessories that Will offers, but then for a contest, the more creative and surprising the theme of the MOC, the better chance it has to catch the judges' eyes! Does this mean we have a better chance of winning, if we don't do WWII? - You may have noticed, I like WWII. :P There are some great action scenes in Saving Private Ryan etc. Thanks ~Milan

Multiple members can use the same film and scene. Of course, you'll want to make sure you build in a way that's interesting and distinctive if you're going to build a vig that others might be doing as well!Madgio wrote:Does this mean we have a better chance of winning, if we don't do WWII? - You may have noticed, I like WWII. :P Not exactly; what I meant was that while WWII films are certainly a great source of inspiration, something outside of the usual themes of vigs that are posted on the board could be more attention-grabbing. Still, the criteria as listed in the rules is what will be used in terms of judging of this contest

^^ So you're saying that while World War II movies are great, something like Sci-Fi, or action could be a better choice? Because mine's based off Saving Private Ryan, which is my favorite movie. I think it had a lot of inspiration in it, and I like it a lot. Does this mean that my entry won't be judged a well as others? I'm confused here.
 Can't wait!

Ok, so I'm good with mine for now. :) Will the Moderators get to enter? Because they all make a lot of awesome stuff? I'd like to see some awesome vignettes from them. Thanks again!
Can't wait!

I'd still like to see a few Moderators build one, but I guess not enter since they can't. :P -Jeff

Um, I have a question. If I have something in the air but it has some overhang like say a low flying airplane about 6 bricks above the ground with a wing say maybe 4 or five studs off of the baseplate, would you get disqualified?

Man! There are so many good movies out there, I don't know which to choose! I'm going back and forth between about 4 different movies! the enigma that is badger wrote:TV movies and miniseries are fine, so long as they aren't simply extensions of an existing show So movies like Stargate: Continuum and Stargate: Ark of Truth wouldn't be allowed, but the original Stargate movie with Kurt Russel and James Spader would be allowed?

Great idea! Good luck to those participating, and I can't wait to see what I'll be going up against. I certainly have some ideas!

I just thought of something, does Generation Kill count as a TV movie? There are 7 episodes, each and hour and a half long, and it's based off a book.
