So it seems that based on submissions from the previous one, it looks as if having a voiceover/dub is acceptable, as well as laying over text and basic artwork over the video. Would this be fine?

I'm considering having our FC's logo persistently over the video, and having some basic narration for our recruitment like a commercial.

Hi Teppie,

Your understanding is correct. Just like the previous recruitment contest, you're free to edit the video with personal voice-overs, text overlays, and Final Fantasy XIV-related artworks.

Can images and/or music from the FFXIV Heavensward benchmark be used in this contest?

Look at all those 0s on each forum created, suppose no ones really interested in Recruiting via video?

Well it does take a lot of time to get an idea, get your group together and coordinated, then edit the final footage. It's only been a couple days, I'm pumped and excited but gotta plan this out first.

First video submitted!

Question: If there's anything in my video that doesn't meet the criteria of this contest, will I be notified? I'd hate to have spent days on this and something disqualifies the video, or something needs to be added.

Much appreciated on the feedback, beloved forum mods!

Question 2:

The other contest allows you to choose one of three necklaces, and it's only a screenshot. This one requires quite a bit more work and time and energy. Would the judges consider possibly allowing us to choose which bracelet the Free Company can have? (Honestly I think I would never wear the Mandragora choker and the Ahriman choker looks significantly better for all of the new jobs coming.)

Typically, we don't go through and confirm entries until it comes time to vote. We would prefer that users read over the rules and follow the instructions closely. As an aside, we would urge you to double check the rules and see if you're missing something...
