Poll: Your HobbitFanContest videos
|
Can't Post
|
|
Heya there, Well, now the official HobbitFanContest is near the end and I suppose there were some people from here who participated and made an own video as step #3 of the contest. So now my question: Would you also be ready to share your video outside of the contest? So that others might see it. A) Yes, I would not mind share it with the general public B) Yes, but only in a close circle, like in the TORN forum only C) No, this is private just between me and PJ (i.e., the Warner reps)

what response were you looking for?

personally, I had zero interest in the competition. There's no way I could swing going if I happened to win some 'perk'. I didn't look into it but it didn't cover airfare, for example... right? I assumed I'd have to pay for the travel companion or go alone? I didn't have a passport. And I think I glimpsed something about paying taxes. Uh... no thanks. A quick glance at the ways to win looked like someone got a WHOLE lot of promotion out of people's hard work. I'd rather the investment of my time went into things that benefited me more... or at least got me a better chance of a benefit that competitions like this do. And finally, I don't play the lottery either. The odds just aren't in anyone's favor on stuff like this. I'm just not enough of a dreamer. What would be interesting is to poll how many people gave this competition no thought, a passing thought, and/or made a sincere effort to enter something they hoped would win them the big prize. I think lack of response to threads like this indicates most of us gave this no thought or just a passing thought... but that's just my sense.

...either this event is really not that interesting for the forums regulars, Or there is a competitiveness in this matter which prevents anybody to share anything that could diminish his own chances...

I think it's because of the type of participation required.

Despite the age of video blogs, vines and viral videos, the majority of people are shy - at least when you have to make a video on why you should win the contest. I signed up to the contest but hadn't realised this is what you had to. There is no way I'm blowing my own trumpet on film. The fact is, some people will not be comfortable with it. Nor do I have the time to earn the number of coins required. I really think the competition is aimed at a younger generation (it is heavily dependent on social media for coins) who are less reserved and more outgoing. The contest might of had more interest on the forum had the way to win/enter been different.

I am part of the "younger generation" and as soon as I read that you must submit a public video I was a little bit... scared. It is just not my area, and I am still thinking of if I should try it or not. So my guess is that you are correct, the video-thing is making a lot of fans go: NO! As for the question by the thread-starter: Would you also be ready to share your video outside of the contest? So that others might see it. My reply is: B) Yes, but only in a close circle, like in the TORN forum only Watching Bomby's video I was thinking I might submit one, it won't hurt

I don't have much interest in the contest, but I was happy to get to see Bombadil.

And I've been participating in the contest from the beginning (currently in the top 5 of the leaderboard). Here is my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrNyGd1a7Pc It took me 5 hours to get this 2 minute video right, believe it or not.... I thought it really wasn't being discussed due to no one wanting to "brag" in saying they got more coins or just to keep it to themselves. The prospect of might having to pay taxes though might make me not want accept the prize, though... And with airfare, I'm pretty sure they supply you with the ticket, just at your own expense have to find a way to get to "sponsor selected airport".

I, like a lot of posters probably didn't bother because of one reason or another. I happen to not have Facebook and I was prepared to join just for that, it's too much of a pain. And like Magpie said I couldn't afford to go anyway and it just didnt seem likely I could win. I blew it off like I do most big sweepstakes because it had to many loops to jump through for something I couldn't possibly win.

Any idea when winners will be announced?

Terms and Rules said 10 business days after contest closure (which was late on Sept. 22nd), so I would expect winners to have been picked by now. Or maybe they have and they're just not announcing it?
