I'm so sorry I missed it ;__; I had a super busy weekend and got completely dragged away from the house.

Hey everyone.
Thank you to all the people who made it out tonight. And thank you even to the people who didn't!
A year ago I ran a dungeon and thought "wow, Eorzea is beautiful! what if there was a *modeling* contest in it?"
Little did I know that that thought would become a reality that would bring about one of the best years of online gaming in my life.
From the crazy Cycle 1 girls who sent in Bikini Pictures without any hesitation that started ENTM, to the 80+ Applicants for Cycle 2..
From the greatest right hand man anyone could ever ask for, Tyriont, to the next host of ENTM YT Edition, Marik...
From the crazy Double Event Cycle 3, to the current Double Elim Cycle 4...
From Youtube Cycle 1 to Youtube Cycle 2..
ENTM has grown so much over the past year and I cannot believe it, even now.

I love all of you, and I cant wait to see what Cycle 5 and YT3 have in store for them with the new Expansion coming out. Make me proud everyone. I'll be watching~!

Episode 1 is live: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...8Fan-Voting%29

I really love seeing alternate shots, so here's mine from YT Cycle 2 Round 1 !

As you can tell, it was pretty hard picking one >.< Running healer in there also makes it difficult to get a usable shot.

The first and third shots are super amazing!!!!!! O7O

Ok here's my outtakes for round 1 xD

This one...LOL MAI HEAD!
http://puu.sh/igLyM/24552dd56a.png

This one I WANTED to use so bad because I felt Ifrit looked SO AWESOME! However! I felt like Ifrit dominated this shot...and well...I was only second fiddle...
http://puu.sh/igLA1/39ad5523c0.png

This was the second to last choice for my decision, however, my friend in the back's photobomb got a little too much attention during review.
http://puu.sh/igLAJ/663b97aef7.png

This one I liked, but didn't choose for obvious reasons :p
http://puu.sh/igLBE/276bcd2699.png

And after seeing everyone's photo's for round 1...I'm starting to sweat bullets xD

My outtakes. Some were rejected thanks to the mentorship program.

Third was my first pick, but you couldn't see Ifrit in it at all. =( First was my back up photo if I was in the bottom 2!

I love the one with him reaching out to you! I can see that you probably didn't pick that one since Ifrit overshadows you a bit, but it's still a really cool shot!

The one with the mysterious claw coming out is cool, but I think the one you submitted was good too. It was a back shot, but a really good one! I think the one with you casting with Eos and Ifrit roaring at you would have been good too! The green and red complimented each other really well.

Outtake Time!

http://i.imgur.com/9EnYD5Jh.jpg
Alternate shot of my chosen image, I went with my original because I liked the composition better and felt it directed the eyes more!

http://i.imgur.com/QxGF9XGh.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/jQOxx98h.jpg
I really liked this one, but I didn't think it was as strong as my chosen image

http://i.imgur.com/lDr03nDh.jpg
This was actually my original concept (I wanted to use healer LB, but unfortunately the pose I was thinking of is actually healer LB3 not LB1 :<) but I wound up cutting it for obvious reasons.

http://i.imgur.com/gacYwweh.jpg
This was my second image, in case I was in bottom two!

That was my backup shot. I purposely kind of took the slightly better looking shot as my backup, just in case. XD

Finished Iris's picture ^^ I hope you like it! Not sure how often she checks here, but if anyone see's her in game or on skype it's rdy!

Final (Thought it would be neat to add an Iris to the background xD)

http://i.imgur.com/pQyoyt2.png

Goooooood morning! *one happy camper* I love your guys shots! The featured ones and the outtakes! I had a little bit of fun with my selected outtakes, since I dragged a bunch of people from my fc with me. After inititally trying to tank on my bard, and that ended badly, I got a system with my tank, affectionally called Charles here. he was awesome about it and very patient! Props to him and everyone that tagged along to what must have seemed like a total mess! On to the outtakes!

http://i.imgur.com/yCDnfHG.png
First up, this is actually my in-case-of-bottom-2-shot I was torn very much about choosing this one, while my main shot was kind of the obvious choice...

http://i.imgur.com/LsomasY.png
I was really torn between this one and the one above. I felt the hand about to grab me gave it an interesting dimension but my pose was a bit meh.

http://i.imgur.com/4vE3THS.png
Another alternate 2nd picture. A bit more active pose, but Ifrit got a bit cut off.

http://i.imgur.com/2i7Gbx4.png
I really liked the effect, but Charles' leg was in the shot plus in hindsight I guess it's good, cause I saw many of you with the "starry flash".

http://i.imgur.com/aD4WdXj.png
This is very close to my initial concept. I wanted to get a shot of Rain of death riiiight under his face, so it looks like I am shooting an arrow in the soft part under the chin.

http://i.imgur.com/LqqaKkp.png
I love the effect the claws have. It has this right in the fight feeling, even if they obsucre a bit.

http://i.imgur.com/dHabnKZ.png
Claw effeeeeeect~

http://i.imgur.com/aSZ60yj.png
What I did in essence was take a video with fraps and the go through the video frame by frame. I think I had over half an hour footage with 30 frames per second... I was prone to sillyness during that and made these.

http://i.imgur.com/dmqUx0z.png
Damnit Charles! Stop flashing the camera! My little finger to hold down ctrl to enable frame by frame watching on my video player was in the end so crampy I could not play for the rest of that night.

http://i.imgur.com/n8fFWkV.png
This one just made me laugh XD

@Ade It's adorablee thanks a bunch X3
I lurk the thread a lot, I just don't post much XP

Outtake time :'D

Another concept I had

http://i.imgur.com/3nk4Scd.png

Silly outtake

http://i.imgur.com/La0KPWU.png

I love seeing all the outtakes, thank you for sharing! It's hard not to look epic in a good Ifrit screen shot.

You guys made judging this so hard. u_u

Omg! You were the one! Adeline had warned me someone else was doing an over the shoulder bard shot! I was like "screw similarity, Imma risk it!" and then was confused over no other bard shots in the episode. XD

Good thing too 'cause yours was way better than mine o:

Ohhhh, I saw that elimination coming before I even turned in my portfolio! XD Sadly, I don't have any alternate shots to show since those were legit the only two shots I took (I know, so smart of me, but I practically sabotaged myself by procrastinating too long!). My time was short-lived, but I really did have a great time working on my portfolio and chatting with everyone else! ^_^ And don't worry, I haven't lost any of the hype that built up from last night! 8D After I saw the introduction episode, I was like, "I DON'T CARE IF I GET ELIMINATED, I JUST WANT TO SEE MORE!!!". But really, I am seriously impressed (and inspired!) by what Rongi has created; a fun and competitive competition that created a great community (not to mention some pro video editing skills!). So, THEN YOU, Rongi! (Remember from last night?! For those who don't, I meant to say thank YOU and typed then YOU instead ahahaha!) We will all miss you very much! TwTb I also got pics from last night!

Group shot!

And in the midst of my excitement, I forgot that I could sit and ended up with super zoomed out pics of Rongi, but I still got to battle it out with him (with sprint lolol)!
http://i57.tinypic.com/mvrw5e.png

And of course, good luck to everyone! I am super excited to see the upcoming episodes!

Here are a few of my alternate shots. Including the second shot in case I was in the bottom 2.

OMG OUTTAKES!!! :D

@Eldaena: They are all lovely, but omg that first one! *thumbs up*

@Mini Ninja: I really love your second and third one, great outtakes!!! :D

@Terrini: I like your first three in that batch - the 3rd one with the foot is cool looking scale wise.

@Doki: Love your outtakes, but I think you picked the perfect one! :D

@Masha: Love your outtakes, but like Doki I think you made the right choice. You were my favorite this week! :)

@ Iris: That other concept is awesome!! But I also loved the one you picked! :D

@Pooky: Those are so cool! I love that first one, but also the third one, it's awesome!

@Rina: Great alt shots - that first one looks like you just sliced him in half with the effect!

Also it was great to meet everyone at the get together last night~! Y'all are awesome and I loved Iris's idea of leveling up those characters when we are free so we can get a house there - and then put a Rongi clone in the front yard, this must be done! lol


For Rongi: My favorite picture of us~!

LOL I found more outtakes

This screenshot was cool, but it made me realize I needed to turn the effect for Shield Lob off.
http://puu.sh/ihbhJ/9bdbaf1309.png

This one made me laugh xD I was like "I collared Ifrit!" But...it made him stand out over me again.
http://puu.sh/ihbiN/78dcdd8ef4.png

Let's.....not talk about this one...
http://puu.sh/ihbm5/f2eff1aa44.png

During evaluation I was told maybe having the explosion behind me would be better, but I felt it kind of washed me out.And Ifrit got cut out a little too much.
http://puu.sh/ihbrL/17b9e99f6f.png

Surfing on my shield lob xD
http://puu.sh/ihbKC/3a947812ab.png

I...died a LOT doing this photoshoot...lol
http://puu.sh/ihbVQ/b30c07cb22.png

Ifrit grew bunny ears! xD
http://puu.sh/ihbYd/683e30809f.png

lol Twilight Dove, I realized in the final of Round 1, you and I both used the shield lob attack. As they say, great minds think alike :3
________

And after seeing all the fun screenshots of the party, I really wish I could have made it :(

__________

Dragon Lily, looking at your outtakes, I love your first shot, the pose and framing are very nice. I know why you didnt choose it (With Ifrit hardly being in the shot at all) But it's still a very good shot! The one you did take for round 1 was still one of my favorites though.

@Rina - I really REALLY liked the second alternate one you have, way better than the top and the one you submitted. I love the leaping look!

@Terrini look at all us beautiful people! Thanks for being photographer!
