Starvault, Mortal Online’s developers, have hosted a Machinima Contest, abbreviated MMC 2009, over these last few weeks. Dozens of entries were submitted. Most of them showed an impressive amount of work and skill. In fact, SV had so much trouble deciding on just three winners, the original spots for recognition, that they had to take another day just to discuss this and in the end decided to take on two more winners. The winners were announced this week and here they are. The winners of the 1st MMC, 2009.
1st Place
Zomgi – The Fall of the Paladins
The story of the two paladins who travel the beautiful lands of Myrland ending with an “epic” fight against the minotaur. SV liked thid this so much they said they were watching it over and over again in the SV office(s). They believe Zomgi truly captured the feel and spirit of Mortal Online and that this entry is a well deserved 1st place. Zomgi’s winnings include a Nvidia Geforce GTX 295, 3 beta keys, and a custom forum avatar.
2nd Place
Saladin – Awake
According to Starvault, “Saladin’s ‘tour’ through Myrland and his original take on music and editing is more than compelling. Wonderful takes and a great flow ensured him the 2nd place. Well done.” Saladin was awarded 2 beta keys, a custom forum avatar, and a user forum title.
3rd Place
Kopatc – Another Day
Starvault had this to say about Kopatch’s entry. “Kopatch’s entry tells you the story of a slave who tries to escape his captors. A very nice and very well executed RP entry. Congratulations to 3rd place.” The award for third place was 1 beta key, a custom forum avatar, and a user forum title.
4th Place
Udprod – Translucent Downfall
Starvault’s take on Uprod’s entry is the following. “Uprod’s clip starts out slow and calm but then threw us into an action packed PvP scene. Very original take on editing – we loved it.” 4th place’s award was a user forum title.
5th Place
Stewker – Reav’Fros: The Beginning
Lastly, Starvault described Stewker’s entry as such. “Another brilliant PvP/RP video. Watch how the guys from the Frostreaver Clan defend their town against some vicious raiders.” Stewker was awarded a user forum title. Ed. – This is the same Stewker as NNN’s editor.
Final words:
We want to thank all of you who took the time and made an entry video for the competition, we hope you had as much fun making them as we did watching them and we’re looking forward to the next MMC in 2010. Be sure to check out the other entries of the MMC here.
