Congrats to the winners!

 

To celebrate the launch of http://www.Machinima.com/UK, we’ve teamed up with Rustlers microwave snacks and genius geek troubadour Jonathan Coulton (the very talented man responsible for the Portal theme song ‘Still Alive’) to produce a competition of such staggering coolness, your keyboard will literally freeze.

WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO:

We want you to create a music video for one of Jonathan’s songs Bacteria or Todd the t1000, which you can download, exclusively and free of charge here and here. You have free reign to go crazy with this, and your video can be as abstract or as obvious as you like. We realise that you’re not all film making geniuses though, so there’ll also be a random prize draw amongst anyone who signs-up with Machinima.com/UK to vote.

As to the professional machinimists, well you’re on your own. Create your masterpiece using one of the songs and whatever footage you like, then up load it to our servers.

Just click on the ‘SUBMIT’ menu button and follow the onscreen instructions!

The winner will be the video that gets the most votes by the end of the competition. Click on the ‘WATCH/VOTE” menu button to check out the competition so far, and don’t forget to get all your friends to vote for your creations!

Prizes:

First Place Winner: one individual will be awarded an Area-51® m15x Alienware Laptop with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
