Casting Call - Eorzea's Next Top Model YT Edition - Cycle 2

That is definitely true! Auditions for this one last til the 9th, and I'll have the cast list up on the 10th, and Tyriont's auditions end on the 12th...so thats plenty of time for you guys to post in that thread! ((He already posted the screnshots he wants, so everyone who wants to audition will have even more time to get them done!))

That makes me beg the question... What are you really looking for in the close up? Tyriont was so descriptive and I'm second guessing because of lack of information (but I like my shot...)

I really hope I get in. xD; My audition battle shot seems meh to me, but I took another one for the 4 themes that were released early just in case I get in, and my battle shot for that is just AMAZING.

I still think my entry shot is so Amazing and I am kicking myself wanting to enter it in the main competition, but I'd end up with an inferior shot to audition, and I don't want to blow the audition just to have a better shot in the rounds...

Your entry shot is so amazing. I wish I could redo my audition shot. =/

I had a very clear concept for the shot and took like 20 shots killing those mobs over and over again to get one that looked just right! But now we have to do the same thing for a shot and I don't have the same inspiration for a shot... Plus need to have good composition and everything... I tried a scenario while doing kobold dailies but it didn't give an awesome shot (only got an ok one.)

Tyriont uses the close ups for the Cycle Banner (go check out Cycle 2 and 3 to see what I am talking about).

I am just using the close up to look at your character. Like, literally all I want is a picture close up of your characters face. xD If you take it with a /grin and with a pretty background, thats cool. If you take it standing infront of a white wall with a blank expression on your face, thats cool too. It is literally just a close up. xD No hidden meaning!

For the high fashion make over shot, please make sure you are using THIS stripe! http://i.imgur.com/prgbAOg.png?2

Thought i'd snip that in the butt before I get 6 that are the wrong stripe. xD

I am living for both you and Sam's battle shots. Damn Ninja is bad ass! How did I miss this class? The poses you guys get in screen shots is amazing with Ninja. xD

Seriously its like a freaking figure skater. o.o

Haha in Cycle 1 did you submit the wrong one too? I remember one or two models did but not who. And we had to wait a few hours for them to retake it, or something like that! Haha. Can you believe its been pretty much a YEAR! WOW!

I liked your post for your honesty! ^^ Luckily for you, there is a Forum Version as well! Casting starts on this Friday! You should definitely audition!

Oh..em..gee..! I just stumbled upon Cycle 2's theme song. xD Thanks Reddit!
It'll be used in the cast reveal and the opening (which I will probably leave off the videos...depends how I feel this summer. xD)

Hope ya'll like itttttt *tee hee hee*

I was going to ask today about that! XD Because I seriously was thinking you meant the one that has like 3 stripes across the face, a bit camouflage-like. Also a question for the high fashion shot: For the pose, since we are not allowed to interact with objects, does that include weapons? As in if a certain skill or something results in a nice pose we want to use, is that a no-go?

haha good thing I posted that link then! xD It should be fine as long as you turn off all your spell effects and its still zoomed in 100%. I mean, don't be doing a backflip facing away from the camera or something, but yea!

One of the contestants in the current cycle is using the computer robot voice for her voice work, which is pretty hilarious. But if you're opposed to it all, then yeah, the regular forum contest has auditions opening this week.

I do have a question about voice file format... do you want them as .wav, .mp3, .ogg...?

Also, do you want the clips unedited or if possible would you like us to remove any white noise from them?

Playing with some voice edits for Liam and OMG it's pretty spiffy XD Still perhaps a bit feminine, but pretty good all things considered, Might it be alright if I post a jest clip or so? Maybe not... Why do I have to be so hyped?

.mp3 is the easiest for me, but if you submit files that wont go into Adobe Premier (like one of the models in Cycle 1's were) I can try and run it through a converter online. If that doesn't work itll become a hassle, so just try and do it as an mp3 haha! I can adjust the volume in Adobe Premier, but I dunno about white noise...so if its awful, yes please figure out how to get it to go away yourself. Haha.

And as a side note, please save all the files separately! A few models submitted 1 file called Goodbyes and it included all 7 "See ya Model name!" and I had to cut it and it was a hassle to keep those files in a separate project to go back and forth between to copy and paste. So please don't save your elimination speech and your introduction in one file for me to split. xD

Episode 7 of Cycle 1 is coming online soon!

I'll play with it... I haven't perfected the noise removal tool... it leaves too much fuzz on the speaking still but it can also remove too much from the voice too... I'll work on it.

Do we need to record anything for the audition portion? Or is this just for people who get in?

Oh no its just for people who get in. The people cast will get an email detailing all the stuff they need to record, but if they want to get ahead they an record stuff/take those 4 screen shots early. Give you -technically- 8 weeks instead of 6.

Ba dump bump! Che!

are ps3/ps4 players able to enter? Or is it strictly PC members?

This might be silly to ask, but just curious.

Anyone can enter, no matter what they play on.

Yep! Anyone and everyone! Just make sure you know how to import (export?) pictures from your ps3 to the PC to send to me! ^^

It's Friiidayyyy! I'll be in game advertising again today and tomorrow, so hopefully we get a few more auditions! If you guys run WoD this weekend, please do a little shout at the END of the run. :D Less than a week til the cast is chosen! :D Have you guys already taken the first 4 photoshoots? :O

Judge's have been decided, and I am excited to announce that Ade and I will be mentors this cycle! Xev dropped out, so I am gonna take over the position! The mentor system will work like this...

Model A thinks of an idea for Photoshoot 1, and goes out and spend hours and hours getting a shot (lol I know you all do this! xD)
Model A submits the shot to Miss Ade, who will look it over, critique it, and make some suggestions to what could make the picture even better!!! (she will not change your concept, only try and strengthen it!)
Model A will then go back out onto the field and put her advice to work!
Model A will then submit a shot to me, and receive a second critique/advice.
Model A will then go back out into the field and put both advices to work, and figure out their final submission. Once chosen, they'll tuck it into their folder until they submit their entire submission folder.

As you can see, you will get 2 critques, one from Ade, the winner of Cycle 3 (who takes some amazing screen shots), and then from me before you have to make your official decision. :D
Note: The mentorship program is completely optional, you do not have to use it!
All of this will be in the casting email as well so don't worry. xD

I would love it if someone would step up to be a mentor, so that Miss Ade and them can split the load, so if anyone is interested, please let me know! :D
(In the event we get a second mentor, splitting this up will be done like so... Mentor 1 will mentor for 6 Photoshoots, and Mentor 2 will mentor for the other 6.)

Gl guys!!!

I've got the High Fashion Shot figured out and possibly my freestyle scenery. :3
Though something just occured to me and I might sound very silly for even asking the question but as for the emails: Which address will you be sending the "you passed the audition" mails to? Cause I have been looking around trying to find a pm system or where my mail address is displayed but I cannot find anything ._.
Sorry if this is an obvious one. >.<

\o/ Hey all. Thanks Rongi for allowing me to help out with the Youtube Cycle by mentoring. I look forward to seeing everyone's developing shots, and I hope to help out anyway I can with them!

Oh and here is my personal motto on taking shots, so be prepared for the burn:
