In other words, how to get multiple machinimators to make you a 2min ad for less than $200. Hey, I’m thinking about holding a competition aimed at developers to build me the best science fiction island sim. Winner gets L50k. BTW all entries must sign over all rights and provide a fully paid island for a year =).
Just to respond to the comment made. The intent is not to make an ad for the sim or the products – it is to use the sim as a backdrop for whatever story you want to make. We have got feedback from people that they thought it was a very inspiring place and felt that we could do something philanthropic using that environment.
No rights need to be signed over – it’s your work. You can use it to promote yourself in any way you wish, or just add it to your portfolio.
I hope this clears things up a bit.
Kalderi.
Manager, Hosoi Ichiba.
