UPDATE -- Trilogy : The NEW theory11 Video Contest

[trashmanf]

A lot of confusion regarding terminology, no? Whatever you consider XCM is probably what we're looking for in the contest.

Focus on non-magical though highly skillful manipulating of playing cards. That's what cardistry means.

I thought that this video contest was anything with a deck of cards , meaning magic too (from dbsquared's post)

Interesting contest I'll just enter for fun.

I would just like to say, I love the video I just submitted, and I don't care if I win or not, I am MOTHER EFFING proud of it.

Yeah I understand the bit of confusion.

But this is posted in the CARDISTRY/FLOURISHING forum. It is primarily a cardistry contest, not a magic contest.

So, would a display be called cardistry?

Most displays, like D&D's Werm, would be considered cardistry, yes. Let me try to clarify:


If it's not magic, it's probably cardistry.

If you think it's a flourish, it probably fits under cardistry.

Think of it this way... if it aims to show something "out of this world" happened where the mechanics are hidden and it's by an apparent mysterious force or time continuum parallel dimension oddity, it's not cardistry. If it's an apparent feet of physical skill of dexterity, it's probably cardistry.

You can also add "magical flourishes" to your cardistry -- like for instance a production here and there to accent your cardistry routine. It's sort of like when you add a fancy fan to your magical routine, but the other way around: you're focusing on cardistry, not magic.


Hope that makes sense.

magic

Can it only contain flourishes? I don't really do flourishes. I do a few like molecule 1 2 4 card production but not a lot because I just show your skills with cards and not the magic.

 

[richard]

Your video can contain magic, but should focus on cardistry, not magic.

If you don't know enough flourishes, try learning some more.

 

[AcidMolotov]

Ha, i won't win, but i might give it a try

 

[Dan Cross]

To help it stand out you could add some mention of the contest in either the title or the description.

I'll see about the possibility of adding a new field in the video submission page so you can pick which category your video falls under, and I'll add "theory11 cardistry contest" or something along those lines to the mix.

Can i worry about if my video more than 25 MB, because under the submit button sayMaximum size: 25MB)

How long is your video? Also realize the maximum display size of a video on theory11 is 480x360.

If it's only 1 minute long, it should fall under 25MB pretty easily...

 

[WhiteMagic]

I have submitted a video about 46 seconds long. Is that okay?

Sure thing. It's supposed to be roughly the same length as the song (or whatever editing you did on the song)... so you're good
