Behind The Camera Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Edit: The rules have been slightly revised, especially the deadline. The updated rules are now listed below.I've run contests before, but since I want to spread my outreach for this contest, I have decided to post this one here. So, without further ado, let me introduce the... This new contest is being run in conjunction with a current animation project, titled Project U! So, what is this contest, you may ask? Well, read on to find out! Official Rules1. You will create a new and original character and cast them into one of the four Nexus Force factions: Sentinels, Assembly, Venture League, or Paradox.2. While the character is restricted to one of the four factions, they are not restricted to the classes of each faction (ex. A Sentinel character doesn't have to be a knight, samurai, or space marine).3. You will submit a five-point turnaround of one and only one character (unless it is important for the character to have a maximum of one companion). In addition to this, you will also submit details that tell the character’s name, age, personality traits, and any other important information. 4. When submitting a character design, there is no restriction on the medium used. You may use actual LEGO pieces, LDraw, LEGO Digital Designer, pencil and paper, pen and ink, paint, digital paint, vector drawing, 3D Max, Autodesk Maya, etc.5. You will not be restricted to actual LEGO pieces (as the characters in LEGO Universe were not).

Black Six Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm not sure what to do here. This definitely seems to violate the Fan-Created Media Rules. But it's really unclear as to what this is even for. What is Project U? What is Legends of the Universe about? Why are you posting it here?

Behind The Camera Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm not sure what to do here. This definitely seems to violate the Fan-Created Media Rules. But it's really unclear as to what this is even for. What is Project U? What is Legends of the Universe about? Why are you posting it here? It may seem to violate the fan-created media rules, but after looking at all of the different forums available here, this one seemed to me like my best option. However, if there is another forum where you feel this topic is more appropriate, feel free to move it there. As for Project U and Legends of the Universe, the latter is a brickfilm that I am currently developing, while Project U is the name of a larger, multi-film project that Legends of the Universe falls under. However, you may do what needs to be done, since the last thing I want to do is get in trouble with the administrative staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Six Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 After talking about it, we've decided that it's a better fit for General Discussion, so we'll move it over there. Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerRayg Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It might help to like, link to your previous projects, or this project's website, or you know, give us any kind of information as to who you are you know? At this moment it's kind of like you assume we know about any of this and frankly I have literally no idea what this is even supposed to be about haha.

TBK Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I got curious and googled a few things surrounding this project. Mustache Maniacs Film co. looks like a group that creates high-quality stop-motion LEGO films, and the Nexus Force references the LEGO Universe game. There's a page just for Project U on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
