Earlier today, the website for the popular open-world shooter franchise Just Cause announced a contest for creating what will end up as Just Cause 3′s trailer (assuming the creator’s permission).
In this contest, participants are allowed to use any Just Cause 3 footage they can find online as well as the media featured in a media package provided on the contest page. The video must then be submitted publicly to Youtube and submitted through the contest’s official site.
When the contest ends on November 12, one lucky winner will win a princely reward consisting of:
- The opportunity to have the winning trailer submission to be used as the official Just Cause 3 trailer.
- KRK – RPG6 studio reference speakers
- Tascam – 2×2 Audio Interface
- An Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Guitar
- SONAR Steam Edition Platinum
- A Top spec PC-rig, including latest 6th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor (also known as Skylake) and UHD monitor
- The Collector’s Edition of Just Cause 3
- A Neat Microphones King Bee condenser Microphone
The entries they deem to have the best humor, action, and audio respectively will receive a smaller prize package, consisting of:
- The same PC and monitor offered in the grand prize
- The Collector’s Edition of Just Cause 3
- SONAR Steam Edition
- A Neat Microphones Bumblebee USB microphone
Seems like a pretty neat deal, though there will be a bit of a barrier in that people with access to more specialized editing software will likely create stronger trailers; I don’t see Windows Movie Maker being the program of choice for whoever wins this, but fortunately enough; there is a free trial for SONAR on Steam for any sound editing needs (though you’re still on your own for video editing). But hey, this is your chance to make a professional game trailer! Go out there and make your mark!
