I don't know how many people will be there, probably just you and I, but I will be on Coeurl as Rongi Pongi just in case! I wanna level up Summoner! :O Send me a tell in game! The premier will be sometime Sunday night. I'm thinking 9pm my time, central. I rewatched it tonight and I dont like the flow. xD I want to change 1 or 2 things. It's especially hard now because I am sick so anything I re-record sounds like Rongi is dying! xD ((It was funny because Ciara was sick, then Tyriont, and now I am. JUDGES CURSE)).

Omg! I thought I deleted the entire first episode earlier. I opened a new sequence in Adobe, and saved, and when i reloaded it Sequence 1 was gone. It was in the Project Window, luckily. But for 45 seconds I was like no...NO...NOOOO!!!! And almost burst into tears. Hahaha.

So What time tomorrow? (Please give what time zone you are in.)

Oh hello there Miss Santherelle. :O

Teeheeheehee *blush*

Busy next Sunday? ;)

It is, it is!

Did anyone take pics? :O

The only time I went to snap a pic was right when you ran out of frame! xD I was like ...meh

For anyone who doesnt know, the youtube channel is located here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOY...YUTZbHw/videos

I am currently uploading the Round 1 Full Judges Critiques, for all you die hard fans out there. Should be up in about 3 hours. Uploading Times are atrocious!
And the eliminated model is working on her Exit Interview today, which I will hopefully have up by Friday.

I -am- working on the Rongi's Top 14 Pictures from Cycles 1-3 video, but thess past 2 weeks ended up killing me with school. And I dont see things slowing down for me until Thursday. Unless there is a project I am forgetting. Which I am sure there is...

I'm glad the ENTM is supportive of me because taking 7 classes and trying to keep up appearances is tough! xD

I have a presentation tomorrow over my 20 page research paper concerning the Cultural Revolution! Ahhhh!

Taking a short break to come and tell you all that I received the exit interview from the model eliminated in Round 1.

It.
Is.
HILARIOUS.

All you other models have a lot to live up too. This model has shown that just because you get eliminated doesn't mean you'll be forgotten! xD

As mentioned above, I got the full Judge's Critiques uploaded as well. It's a 30 minute video, but that just goes to show how much time we put critiquing the photos.

There will probably be similar videos for Round 2 and 3, seeing how much time is spent on each photo, and my goal of keeping the episodes under 13 minutes. Once we get down to such a low number of models, I wont need to edit out bits and pieces. The only issue I keep running into is while the 4 of us might love a photo, the other 3 judges (who scored the pictures but did not send in critiques) may not have liked it, pushing the picture down in the rankings.

It might seem odd if the 4 judges all say "we love it!" and then the picture not receive first call out. xD I am not sure how to address this in the video. Maybe a *Note or something at the bottom of the screen?

And thanks to a snow day, I dont have an exam tomorrow! So I got the Exit Interview for Round 1 up! :D

Thanks for taking them.

Alright, ENTMers! I promised some news on Cycle 4 after the PAX East panel and here it is.

Given that the release date for Heavensward is officially in June, Cycle 4 WILL be held before 3.0 drops. I intend to theme it around a celebration of everything ARR, with shoots designed around the various things that helped pull FFXIV out of the fire and turn it into the game we all love today. I don't have an official date in mind yet, but I want to let you know a few things.

First off, this Cycle WILL be shorter than Cycle 3. I felt that Cycle 3 started to run out of steam towards the end. Note, that doesn't mean fewer models! So don't get discouraged if you were planning on participating. While I will be capping things for obvious reasons, I'm more inclined to have less rounds and more double-eliminations than fewer models.

Secondly, I'm going to be putting up a poll sometime within this next week to get some fan feedback as to some changes to the format - most significantly how voting should be handled in regards to judge scores vs public scores.

Thirdly! As I mentioned during the last cycle, judges will have to "audition" as well. When I've settled on a date, I'm going to announce how that will work too - for now, I would like to prioritize previous judges/models for the judging positions.

Lastly! It's been a while since Cycle 3 ended. I've been tossing this around in my head a bit and have decided that for Cycle 4 applicants there are to be NO restrictions or requirements. "But Ty, you dashingly handsome pirate with an incredibly sexy accent!" I hear you cry. "What does that actually mean?" Well, it means that unless you're judging everyone can apply. Previous model? Come try again! Previous judge? Same! Previous host? Even Rongi is welcome to apply if he wants! It also means that I'm not planning on sorting by race/gender. Last time we had a lot of issues with people dropping - which actually worked out in the end, but I'd like to avoid that again. I feel that restricting ourselves to x race or gender applicants only hurts us in the long run. Does that mean we're going to see a lot more Miqo'te than Elezen or Roegadyn? Yeah, probably. But that's how Eorzea's population goes and with Cycle 4 being a celebration of all things ARR, I almost feel as if winding up with an applicant pool that more directly represents the population will be fitting. I also don't feel right about restricting some very strong applicants merely because most of the population happens to have a tail, or be three feet tall, or whatever.

That's all for now. I'll be posting more later in the week. So, in the words of a man we're all very familiar with...

Please Look Forward To It.

How did you KNOW?!

*Looks out windows*
*Puts tin-foil hat back on*

Between this and the youtube gorgeousness, it's like Christmas in March! (And April and May...)
https://33.media.tumblr.com/d1ee65a3...gtqlo1_500.gif

Awesome news Ty! Hopefully I'll be able to participate in some capacity for this cycle as well :)

Hey everyone! The new episode is up!

Great to see news about Cycle 4! Not only did we learn when Heavensward is coming, but Rongi also learned when he is leaving for Japan! :O July 31st! :D

So that means that Auditions for the second Youtube Cycle will be held the last two weeks of April, allowing the models all of May to prepare, then June for me to produce them while you guys enjoy Heavensward, and upload them throughout July! Perfect timingggg! YT2 will also be open to everyone (still on the fence about allowing boys though! :O) So I look forward to seeing how many of you apply! :D

Oh my GOD!!! I haven't been able to log into the game much, therefore the forums had blocked me out! /Outraged!!!

First of all, i'd just like to say, what an amazing job Rongi has done with the Youtube edition. I'm blown away by all the hard work and time you must have put into this and thank you for doing so. It has been so much fun taking part in all this and the experience has added a whole new dimension to the game for me.

Secondly, i'd like to thank the judges for all the time and effort they've put into critiquing our shots - and voting me as winner of round one! Wow! The competition was fierce, i'm so shocked i was first pick! It was one of my favourite shots to take and was only made possible by the help of my friend, Violet Tikaani (she pwned the baddies for me while i looked pretty and smiled at the camera, hehe!). Also, Frootie's shot cracked me up! A risk well worth taking :3 /Thumbsup for the ballsy-ness!

Thirdly! /Swoon nice to hear another Brit getting involved, Ty ;3 I would also like to point out that i was far too shy and far too bad at recording my own voice, so i can't claim Sylvie's voice as my own... but props for getting the voice actress to do British ;) lol <3

Fourthly (are you guys still with me?) Round two blew me away. I really struggled with this one, weirdly? You ladies all really rocked it and i did not envy the judges one bit having to pick a winner here. And i am MORTIFIED Brun has gone. I will win this for us tallies, Sister! I WILL!!!

Fifthly: It was one of the girls leaving do's tonight so i may have had an alcoholic beverage (or three) so do apologise for any incoherent-ness...?

Sixthly::: Congrats to Rongi and Santherelle! Wish i could have been there Q.Q (This is Kuchichi, by the way, Santy :3)

...And Finally (but definitely not leastly).....

I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!! <33333

Even previous models can give it another shot?! That's going to be one heck of a Cycle! :D
I will not participate, but I will keep an eye out on the next cycle, because there are always very creative screenshots.

Hope it will all run smooth!

Love,
Eirwen
