Pirates of the Burning Sea Video Contest Rules and Regulations
Valid Entries
No profanity, discriminatory or sexually related content or other
obscenities within the video. Submitted video must be original and
created by the submitter. Any deviation from this must include written
authorization from the original content creator.
All assets used in the video must be from the game itself – this includes
the video and music. 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.
