OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[EorzeasNTM]

Hey everyone! Just a quick (my posts are never quick are they? xD) little howdy do before Episode 3 comes out! Still waiting on the eliminated model to send in her exit interview, and Full Judging video should be out tonight for all you die hard fans.

As for Youtube Edition Cycle 2, I will be once again using 7 Judges. I am hoping Tyriont and Nariko will both return, as the three of us are all -hosts- of different community events, as well as the other 4 judges being a model from previous cycles, Cycle 1, 2, 3, and YT1. I'll make a post about that later in more detail, but I -do- need another boy...one that needs to come from Cycle 2 or 3 since my cycles are girl only, so Adam if you don't judge for Tyriont, you can always judge for me if you are available for voice work! Eirwen! also interested in using you as a judge.

We will also have two TIM GUNN positions in the Youtube Cycle 2, so if anyone is interested in that.........you'll get to see the models entries before even I do and help them shape them into the perfect shot!

Cycle 1 was an experiment, and for Cycle 2 instead of skype conversations, I will just have the judges send in sound bites...because editing all these vids is tuff ya'll! xD But I am hoping that we will all chat in Skype to make the judging decisions because the conversations on skype were so fun. Just so much work and hard to meet up our timing. xD

As for the models, I am supppperrrrr influenced by Ru Paul's Drag Race, and as such, instead of a Montage like in Cycle 1, the pictures will pop up while the model says a tidbit about the shot, and then after the judging. I also have a new understanding for the Call out Orders and how I want to do those. Not only that, but because I think the BEST part of the YT Cycle is getting to hear the models personality (Fruity Tootie - "best vopice" Raquelle and Sylvie - the foreigners KORIANDER the performer!!! xD Sam has a potty mouth, Midge is squeaky mc squeak squeak! Brun Hilda is the perfect Roe voice, and Xyhr is..voiced by a dear friend who isnt the best actor xDDDDDDDDDD) so for Episode 0 of Cycle 2 I will have the model introductions, followed by word games and other things...just so we can see more personality! I am glad I thought of the Exit Interviews for cycle 1 at last minute, because its SO great hearing the personality of the models.

isnt it? xD I love it. Cycle 1 has taught me so much and I cant wait for Cycle 2!

Is anyone else on the edge of their seat waiting for Tyriont's Cycle 4 Voting System poll? Even I dont know how judging/voting will work in Cycle 4 yet! :O

I also don't know if...will...Will Rongi audition?! :O
Depends on how many rounds there will be and when the premier is. Cuz I dont get outta school until May 7. xD
But i'll either enter as Rongi Lalafel or Rongi Elezen if I do. :O

Hope everyone has/having/had a good spring break!!!

That would be fun! :O

This weekend counts as within this next week >.>

I'm sorry for the delay. Real Life kicked me in the jewels something horrible this week, but I will do my absolute best to get the poll up this weekend.

[Tyriont]

DoublePosting to bump it up.

The Eorzea's ENTM Cycle 4 poll is live!

The poll can be found here

A brief explanation of why I'm requiring character name and server. Obviously, we need a way to prevent people from voting multiple times - that's only common sense. I wanted to encourage as many people as possible to vote and while I assume most people have a Google account, I didn't want to require anyone to have to sign up for or in to anything they don't want. This way I can ensure we only get one response per person. I promise you, voting is completely confidential to anyone other than me. If there are any concerns about this then please, let me know and I'll do my best to address any problems - however this method will not be changed as I honestly feel it's the way that will turn least people away from voting.

The poll will be available until 11:59pm EST, Monday March 23rd. The results will be tallied and posted the following day.

Now, onto what you've all been waiting for. Auditions for both judges and models will be accepted starting Friday, April 3rd (because I know better than to launch it on April 1st) and will cut off at 11:59pm EST Sunday, April 12th. The shot list -will- be posted ahead of time though, so don't worry about that.

As for the launch date? Friday, May 1st! I plan on running a six round cycle, which will place the contest ending about a week and a half before Heavensward Early Access starts - I think that's quite good timing

POLL AWAY, ENTMers!

My suggestion for the shot display wasn't there. I'm a sad panda.

/snip!

I voted to the best of my ability I felt one or two of the questions were just a lil' too vague, but I hope my opinion helps you out Tyriont ^.^ I can't wait for this new cycle to begin Allows me to look forward to something in between 2.55/2 and 3.0!

[KaiKatzchen]

I'm sorry! D: I didn't feel like digging through the entire thread and I don't remember what it was. What was it? >.>

What were the questions you felt were too vague? I'd like to clarify them if I can.

It wasn't so much the actual question was vague, but the answers, like for the one about how judging went in cycle 3. I didn't think it was mean or harsh, but I didn't think it was fine either, there was no middle ground answer I could pick XD
