At the Movies: VERSUS!
Player Hosted Photomode Competition


What's up everybody?! I thought of a new idea to start a little series of player photomode competitions, and it all has to do with cars from movies and franchises! As known, GTP has their weekly photomode competition, this one will be monthly more or so. This competition however is not solely individual based at all, it is more of a team competition... the rules shall be explained

RULES

Objective
- Represent a movie or car franchise with the best photo you can take. There will be two movies each competition, the one who has been voted with the best picture/s is the winner and will receive a prize.

Entry
- There will be two teams to pick from, each representing a car movie or franchise. You must pick one of the two teams.
- After picking a team, you will submit ONE (1) photo entry representing that movie. For example if you pick team "Italian Job" you can only submit one picture of your Mini Cooper :dopey: into the competition.
- The photo must be relevant to the movie/franchise. For example, if your going to be in team "Gone in 60 Seconds", you can choose any car that was pivotal in the movie. If there are sequels or remakes of the movie, you can choose a car from any one; the 73 Mach One or the 67 Shelby GT500. If the car doesn't exist in the game (the GT500) :nervous:, the version closest to it can be used (the GT350 or the Transcammer). Any amount of cars can be in the shot, so if you wanted to put both the Mach and the GT in a side by side, that would be acceptable :drool:, but if there's an X2010 just chillin' in the background, it's not acceptable.:dunce:
- You CANNOT cross over team pictures or represent both teams. What is meant by that is for example, you cannot either enter pictures for both teams, or let's say one month it is team Fast and Furious versus Redline (garbage movie in my opinion :yuck:), you can't put an silver R34 Skyline next to an Enzo; you can't combine both movies!
- You may overwrite your entry up to THREE (3) times. After that, whatever you put as your third entry will be your one and only entry; I don't care if you put 20 pictures after that, you're not getting past it.:ouch:

Editing
You may edit an entry to enhance it's color, value, etc. same rules rules apply as 2.0 Advanced Competition rules. However, you CAN NOT add a signature or any borders to the picture. It must be kept as plain as possible. Cropping is allowed. It must also be stated that the picture is edited, meaning, put the word EDITED in bold next to the pic. Remember, other people without editing skills are participating too.
IMPORTANT: The subject this month's competition is made so to NOT ALLOW editing to any of the cars body parts or add decals. The cars in Initial D and Wangan Midnight are kept as asthetically stock as possible. In other words: no "Red Suns", "AKINA Speed Star" stickers, or editing to the S30 to make it look more like a 280Z.

Voting
-Voting will be split in three rounds; an entry round, a semi-final, and a finals.
-Entry Round: On this thread, you will submit your pictures for your team, anybody can put in a photo and comment on photos. Ten photos will go into separated semi-finals, and will be voted upon by a roll-call vote
ex. "{Quote containing pic you like} 'I vote this picture:)'". You can vote for as many photos as you like, one vote each. This will last two weeks.
-Semi-finals: The top ten pictures for each team will be separated and be voted upon in two separate threads; each representing a team. It will be in polling fashion. The top picture from each team, along with 2nd and 3rd places will go on to the finals to represent their respective team. This will last a week.
-Finals: The three pictures from each team will be pitted against each other, again in polling fashion. After one week of voting, voting will end and the winner will be announced. The winner and runner-ups will all receive a prize.:cool:

As with any competition, the rules will seem confusing at first but afterwards, will became clearer as more people participate. So are you ready to kick it off? Here we go then!:sly:
Rules v 1.1

This Months Competition:

Initial D vs. Wangan Midnight


The Devil (Z) Went Down to Akina!
Our very first competition will involve two popular Japanese car animes. As stated in the rules, get the best photo you can representing one of these franchises and win for your team. Which team will you choose?

Initial D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_D
Main vehicles used:
Toyota Corolla AE86 Sprinter Trueno AE86 (S.Shingeno Edition in game)
Mazda RX-7 FC3S (White)
Mazda RX-7 FD3S (Yellow)
Nissan Silvia K's S13 (Lime Green)
AND MANY MORE JDMs! R32, MX-5s, 180s, you name a JDM, it's there in Initial D!

Wangan Midnight

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangan_Midnight
Main vehicles used:
Nissan/Datsun S30 240Z
Porsche 964 (RUF CTR or a "Yellowbird", the one in Wangan is the "Blackbird")
Nissan R-32 (This one is gray, unlike the black one in Initial D, make sure to state it's for Wangan!)
Ferrari Testarossa (Use the similar 512BB, and you got a camera favorite)
There's a limited selection here, but a lot better for those who specialize in exotics and higher powered cars!

The Prize:
First Place: AMS "Alpha 9" R-35 GT-R Look-alike (http://focusgear.com/files/2011/01/321667ca8ddb2fe866391034b486d597.jpg) with matching color, hood, and specs along with custom made unique sig banners to show off.


Good luck to all of you! You may pick any of the cars seen in the franchise. Some tips: Team Wangan has an edge on this one, better looking cars (*cough* Testarossa*cough*). Team D also has it's own edge, the shear number of cars used throughout the series (two very prominent "brothers" are sitting in the premium lot ready for the camera). Any questions or concerns just post it on the thread. Enjoy!

Sounds interesting, and I like how much time you spent making the guidelines clear. Will be watching this.
 
Actually a cool idea, and very well thought through. Although with the pictures, can they be edited or straight from game ?
 
They can be edited, however, it must be stated boldly that the picture being entered is edited. I want to keep the competition open to everybody but I don't want the winner to be the one with the most smoke and mirrors either.
I will add editing rules up.
EDIT: Updated rules. Can now enter in standard and 2.0 pictures (edited pictures must be nerfed to a point).
In future competitions, especially with movies that are very visually aesthetic dependent (ahem F&F), I may open up to a full out editing division. Let's see how the first couple competitions turn out though.

EDITED

Hi! I'm Koichiro Iketani, leader of Akina SpeedStars. I'll represent Initial D with my lime green Silvia S13 :)

Thx, i didn't know about Wangan Midnight.... (downloading right now :dopey:)

Nice pic, so how's Mako Sato doing? :D
Okay, we got our first competitor! C'mon people, bring in the pics, it's a very simple competition compared to GTPs Official one. Just buy one of the cars from one of the cartoons and take a good pic.

EDIT: Added a list of vehicles that can be used as inspiration. It's not all that you can use, look at the provided links and research to find many more used. The competition is starting like this to allow a huge use of vehicles, future competitions may begin getting limited, especially considering movies with "hero cars" (Italian Job, Back to the Future, Dukes of Hazard, etc. etc.)

dah... come on.. why no one want to participate? It could be a really fun topic with all theses cars movies! There is even a prize!

There a lots of useless topic in the photography section where you all show your pictures over and over again cause all theses topic are almost the same and the one with a fun original competition with prize and no one care about that? I don't understand :/
 
Thanks you guys!
I am getting kinda disappointed that no one is joining in. I'm not giving up on a good idea though. I'll extend the first round till people start getting in.

Thanks again Fishy and Belph. If you can, spread the word about it in GTP.
 
I do think that this should be moved to the "Photomode Competitions" section, I think that might give it some more recognition.
