OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Tyriont]

Yes, to summarize what's been said - the auditions will follow a similar vein, although the submission shots will be slightly different. You'll have plenty of time to get your shots in before the deadline.

Shots may NOT be edited in anyway. Doing so turns it from a screenshot contest into a photoshopping contest. Similarly, you may not enhance your game through 3rd party means - doing so tilts the balance unfairly against PS3/4 players.

It isn't required to have the SE watermark in the shot, so FRAPS can be used, or whatever screengrab software you want. I admit, this does slightly tilt things against PS3 users but the amount of model frustration it seems to save offsets it in general opinion.

Also, VOTE!

I found that pesky old post from before!

After giving it much thought, I think moving the list down by 5 each week would make sense as long as we factor in eliminated models.

Round 1
A B C D E F U V W X Y Z
W is eliminated.

Round 2
V W X Y Z A B C D E F U
X is eliminated.

Round 3
C D E F U V W X Y Z A B
C is eliminated.

Round 4
X Y Z A B C D E F U V W
V is eliminated.

Round 5
E F U V W X Y Z A B C D
A is eliminated.

Round 6
Z A B C D E F U V W X Y
F is eliminated.

Round 7
U V W X Y Z A B C D E F
E is eliminated.

Round 8
B C D E F U V W X Y Z A
D is eliminated.

Round 9
W X Y Z A B C D E F U V
Z is eliminated.

Round 10
D E F U VW X Y Z A B C
U is eliminated.

Round 11
Y Z A B C D E F U VW X
B is eliminated.

Round 12
F U VW X Y Z A B C D E
Adam wins!

As you can all see, the Casting Call for Youtube Edition Cycle 2 has been posted!

I want to give the models cast plenty of time to send in all their voice work/pictures, and I am also shamelessly trying to bring more people into seeing Cycle 1. The girls put a lot of work into it, and so did I, and I want more views for us all! xD

Any one from past Cycles can also apply! But, if at all possible, i would love it if you entered with an alt, so that we can keep the new faces rolling in!
((For anyone keeping up with Cycle 1, Sylvie is actually the alt of a contestant eliminated in Preliminary Round 2 of Cycle 2! ))

Both girls and boys are allowed, so make a handsome alt and apply, apply, apply! +1 for characters with darker skin colors!

I am digging the personalities we are seeing in the Cycle 1 Models, and as such, Cycle 2 will try to play that up a little bit more in the first episode with word games, maybe a talent section, and of course the model introductions! I am also trying to come up with the best -flow- for the videos, so if you guys have any suggestions for that, let me know!

I really want to take myself out of it, and only have me explaining the round, and reading the call out orders. Would everyone be horribly offended if Cycle 2 has more words on the screen, like the Exit Interviews? "Round 1" Flashes on screen, the models pictures display, a panning image of the judges at the judging table, judging critiques (which will be sound bites this time -vs- conversations.), screen goes black "Calculating Scores..." flashes along the bottom of the screen.



Something along those lines, maybe. Let me know guys!

Oh!! The biggest change for Cycle 2 will be the fan voting! it will take place between the videos, instead of before the cycle starts! This will also help with keeping the posts on the main page. hehe. Rounds 1-6(or7) will be the fan voting rounds though, not all rounds since we have more models this time around.

Selfish Request!!! Whenever you run Crystal Tower or Cloud of Darkness, at the very end of the run please /shout about the ENTM Auditions

[Terrini]

Ahhhhh! You just had to make me have to think of all my alts... But only my Duskwight male is darkskinned... And I would have to play with Audacity voice change options to play my own guys... Here i was only considering My female Lala and Female Roe... But the Roe is only level 18...

I don't mind you taking a step back on voice acting, but if you could swap in sound effects instead?

And Question... Could I "audition" as multiple characters if I wanted...?

[EorzeasNTM]

Ahhhhh! sound effects! multiple characters?

Haha, don't worry if you cant be dark skinned! I just really want our cast to vary a bit more than previous cycles! xD

Midge is actually a guy, using a high voice to voice his Lalafel female. And Fruity Tootie had her vocal cords ripped out by a bear while fighting in the amazon at the age of 4, so she used a computer to voice her model! I think that is half the fun! It would be hilarious if you were a big highlander male and had a high pitched girl voice. xDDDDDD

More Sound Effects!!! You got it!!!

Of course you can audition multiple characters! (only one will make it in though!) Sam from Cycle 1 auditioned as 2 characters, and it was a good thing she did too, because Raquelle and Sam's alt were IDENTICAL TWINS! So, I was able to cast Sam's Hyur instead of her Miqote, AND Raquelle! It was perfect.

[TheRogueX]

Haha, to audition or not to audition... that is the question.

I hilariously made several friends on Sargatanas just from being in Cycle 2. Even one who was all 'I'm grouped with a forum celebrity! This is awesome!'

I was all 'haha! I'm not a celeb! I'm definitely no Reinheart!'

[Darlan_Ashwood]

This is quite entertaining

[EorzeasNTM]

Thanks Jayo! Gonna apply?

Haha Arias! You were a celebrity even before Cycle 2 hittin on all the models if I remember right! Man! Its almost been a year since ENTM started!!! XD

So..I am thinking about allowing the 12 models selected determine the order of the photoshoots this cycle! I will list the 12 photoshoots, and they will list them in order from 1-12th, and much like the models are being eliminated in the Cycle 1, that is how we will determine the order for the photoshoots. BUT WHY??? you may be asking. Because only the first 6 rounds will be used to determine the fan favorite, and I want the models to help choose which 6 shots will be seen.

[TheRogueX]

Haha Arias! You were a celebrity even before Cycle 2 hittin on all the models if I remember right! Man! Its almost been a year since ENTM started!!! XD

Hey now, you were there, you know full well how hot all those models were. :P

[Rikkustrife]

I have a question for second youtube cycle, in the first cycle models had to enter lost city of Amdapor, will there be high level dungeons in this cycle? I have 8 characters, only 3 are level 50, at the moment, so if I entered with one that was not those 3, they could not do the level 50 dungeon screenshots
