This would make a good OpenOffice Impress presentation, no? |

Easier to print this out on high quality paper myself than go through this charade. |

I'd like to have it but my camera won't work. I'll try to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Btw, do I have to appear in the YouTube Video? |

Adam, if you prefer to stay anonymous in the video you might find ways to do that, e.g. by using big shades, having your colleague speak for you, using a puppet and so on :)
Bovine, the reason for making this a bit harder is that we want to give people who really want the comic (e.g. a big Scott McCloud fan?) a higher chance of winning it, because someone who doesn't really want it might not want to upload a video. If nobody participates, well let's see what we might do to make it easier. |

I'd like to have a YouTube video of the comic, read by a mesmerizing voice :) |

I would very much like to have it. I'll make a Youtube video soon ;) |

My camera isn't working either, so this is just a quick video. (If you can't see the text, a higher-quality version is available.)

Hope I'm not too late. I have a full day class Tuesday(from 8:00 am – 10:00 pm). My camera won't be fixed next week so I made a simple one.
I think we share some ideas, Jake:)
Here is my video: + Show video |

I made a video yesterday, but I just can't force my iMovie to import Photo Booth video (?!) – don't know why. So now I race against the clock and my cold. If my temperature go down I'll try to transcode the video and maybe post it. |

I really fail to see the point of a lottery.
If the contestants just had to put down their names+email, a draft or lottery would suffice.
But in this case, there's an implicit requirement for creative case, and as such, it should be evaluated and properly rewarded. |

Here's my attempt:
+ Show video
I've never shot a video before, but this was a good excuse to try one. The quality is not very good (it's shot on my phone).
I tried YouTube's "audio swap", but YouTube must be re-compressing the video when it swaps the audio, because it made the quality much worse.
So, I re-uploaded the original, which is silent except for background noise. |

Heh. Nice video. |

My (really bad) attempt at a video. As with every one else, I used a Phone's camera :(
I apologise for the bad video, bad audio and bad speech in advance :P

Thanks to everyone for participating! The videos were cool. The contest is closed now. I will collect from all the existing entries above and choose a random winner soon afterwards and announce here. |
Philipp Lenssen ![[PersonRank 10] [PersonRank 10]](image/postrank/10.gif) | 12 years ago # |
I created a script which picked one random person among the following contestants: ('christoph', 'Jake', 'adamzhu1986', 'Seth Levy', 'Roger Browne', 'Mrrix32', 'Navarr Barnier')
After testing, I decided to hit the randomization 3 times and whoever ended up being picked at the third time was the winner. I refreshed 3 times.
And the winner is...
Mrrix32! |

Congratulations, Mrrix32.
And that's a cool lego logo. |

DAMN IT! I missed this by a few hours. I'm a big Scott McCloud fan after I met him and he signed my copy of Understanding Comics when i was 9. I still have that book and would have loved to have had this comic.
Woe is me. |

OMG! Thank you!!!! I've sent you my address on YouTube (Hope that's OK) |
