OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Kaelah]

Can I be a judge on both? If so count me in. Regarding the banners, when Rongi asked me to make them, he gave me this image as an example:


Sooo, if we want an image that actually looks more like that one, a guide would be to take a shot in daylight, zoomed as close as possible, looking right at the camera. Backgrounds that contrast the models will make them easier to cut out, so like they are not the same colour as their backdrop lol.

I'm honestly torn on it. My original intention was to not make my judging panel anonymous, based on the fact that half of the reason people seem to enjoy these types of reality show is for the personalities of the judges anyway But Rongi raised a good point about potentially making enemies that way...and while I for one don't care, I don't want to force that viewpoint on anyone or make them less comfortable. So once a panel was selected, I intended to ask all the judges what their views were and only do that if everyone was comfortable with it. I definitely like the idea of having an image for the judges panel too, if everyone's willing!

To that end, if anyone wants to apply anonymously the e-mail I've set up is EorzeasNTMTyriont@gmail.com.

Ronberku, if you decide to become a judge then just let me know and I'll consider you in the running!


Kaelah, if I don't get anyone else interested then I'm quite happy to have you serve on my panel too - that's a lot of work though! I would like to give others the opportunity to get involved, but if a slot remains open then I'm happy to offer it to you. Also, that image link in your last post is broken for me ;-;

Whoops, how about this?

[Kaiyoko]

Rongi can you give some more details on the shots needed for the casting call so we can start taking them?

Battle shots and scenic shots are pretty self explanatory unless you have some hidden details :X.

But for outfit coordinating could you explain more what you're looking for? Is that with an NPC or another player?

Thanks ;3!

I'm struggling as well. Juggling the primary stipulation of the theme while making an interesting shot/expression/story is pushing my multi-tasking to the limit. @_@ A fun challenge, though.

[Tyriont]

Oh, awesome. Yeah, something like that would be perfect I'll make it a requirement to send a shot like that in for my lot at least, to make it easier for you.

[YunieAura]

That's so cool. Jelly of future Cycles~!

Edit1: Oh, was that answered? Can judges be on both male and female teams?
Wasn't it ladies vs gentlemen? =o Derp, gotta go back and read~

Edit2: Oh okay, when each competition gets down to 3 models, the
women and men battle!

There are two contests, one for men and one for women. There's nothing stating that the judges for each have to be those genders themselves. I for one am shooting for an even gender balance in my judges. Once we reach the last rounds, both panels will be combined to make MEGA-JUDGEZORD.

As to judges being on both teams, the only real reason against doing so is that's a -lot- of critiques to have to do. Plus, separate judge crews gives more opportunity for people to get involved. That latter part is just my opinion though, Rongi's may differ.

Awesomesauce. Max zoom and bright shot will be perfect. Trouble I had with this cycle was everyone had different zooms so some are smaller/bigger than others. I tried to resize them but they would have all been tiny if I made them all the same size. xD The variants in pose made it harder too.
