Pirates of the Burning Sea launched in late January and to celebrate
this massively multiplayer online title, GameZone is holding a
video-story contest.

Tell us your best pirate story in video, using in-game assets from
PotBS.

The videos should be:

  • 5-8 minutes in length, in NTSC 4:3 format with video
    settings of 420x315 and a frame rate of 30
  • Three files should be submitted – an FLV file (Flash
    Video), html file and Shockwave Flash Object (we
    recommend using Sothink Video Encoder to
    process the files)
  • Zip files down into one file to submit
  • You can narrate the stories, use music, but the
    key here is to tell a story of high adventure in
    the PotBS world.
  • All assets used in the video must be from the game
    itself – this includes the video and music.

Contest entries should be sent to webmaster@gamezone.com.

Think you have what it takes?

The contest will start on March 3 and run til April 1, 2008.

  • One free month’s subscription to the game

2nd Place Prize:

3rd Place Prize:

  • Some "cool schwag" from Flying Labs, the game’s creator

Judging will be done by selected members of the GameZone.com staff. All appropriate submissions will be featured on GameZone.com.

So put together that script, capture that video and get to work mateys – there’s treasure to be won!
