Dear Mad Poet,

As for the issue of everyday object, we've made a reply in July under this thread (on page 2). Basically, Reallusion doesn't want to make "everyday object" so specific which might limit the possibilities. The characters in "Toyformers" such as Kenny and Barbie can be viewed as toys. So, it can be viewed as everyday object (Foodstuff, Toy, Stuffed Animal, Puppet, Tableware).

For copyright issue, the reason why Reallusion didn't make any regulation is because that we didn't want to limit contestants' creativity in making animation. However, we'll fighure out how to avoid this kind of issue in future events. Thanks for your concern and advices.:)

Thanks,

Your Reallusion Staff

thanks for not answering my question.  great service.

Everything's solved. Thanks! :D

Hey there,
Another 10 days has gone and my 2 videos I submitted 4 weeks ago are still not on the contest page. :(
Neither did I get an answer to my question in this forum.
Hellooo, anybody home?

Just to clarify the rules, it says that, "Submitted videos MUST contain at least one character created from everyday objects. (refer to character suggestions above)"

Is the interpretation of everday objects mean that it must be some object that we take our own personal photo of and then convert (I was initially assuming)?  For example, I think the Toyformers video is cool, but it only seems to use copyrighted photos for every character in the video.  Are copyrighted photos found on google considered everyday objects?  If this is true, it would significantly change the strategy in the type of submission to be worked on.

It would seem more fair that entries should be required to identify the everyday object included in the video? Maybe the person took pictures of their own Toy Story 3 toys??  Some of the entries do not look like they have any everyday objects in them.
 

Hallo!

Concerning my postig above; today Reallusion has inserted on Facebook a link to my video on Youtube, too. Thanks for this honourable reaction! Now I don't feel so excluded.

Greetings

Hey there,
I submitted 2 videos 2 weeks ago, but they are still not on the contest page. :ermm:
Did I something wrong?

Hi!

I find it absolutely unfair how you deal with this contest. You post the link to some contestant videos on your Reallusion-Facebook-site and in the E-Mail-Newsletter I received today. And you hype up for some videos on the Real-Time-2D-Live-Channel. But some - me included - you don't mention. For this contest it's important how many clicks the video reaches. This is an important criterion, it counts. Yes, I feel overlooked and cheated. Long time I was quite and just observed it. But as I received the Newsletter today with "the German contestant videos" (where I was not mentioned!), where one can start the videos directly from the E-Mail, I had to say it out. I'm not a person who claims all the time and loud - but now I can't understand the world.

Thank you so much - the video is on the page. :D

Hello dear RL-Team, :kiss:

I subscribed my video for the contest 6 days ago, but it is not on the contest page - and the german contest ends this month.

Please tell me, what can I do?

Thanks a lot for your help and many greetings

Ulli
