Hobbit Yule Video, 2nd meetup
By Lina Willowwood
Jingle jangle!
Yule is getting near, and what better thing to do than to make a large drawing to greet yer friends a very merry yuletide? Not much! So here we go!
Date: Tuesday December 10
Time: 7:30PM ((UK, 2:30PM servertime))
Location: Outside the Ivy Bush inn, Hobbiton, The Shire
This is the second meetup for the Laurelin hobbit Yule video this year.
What will happen this year? Will there be ballets with purple snow beasts or surprise parties for old lonely hobbits? Will Shire animals fight in the fields, or will them youngsters sigh over a lack of snow in the Shire? Take part to find out!
((OOC
Once again, I’d like to make a yule video with as many hobbit players on Laurelin as possible. The video will be released December 24th, in the Hobbity Yule Calendar.
Preparations
This second video shoot may have a little more action than the first, but it should be a pleasant evening still. Please remember:
Bring a pig mask and a hobby horse (or a Yule-themed hobby horse, or similar) if you have them. We’ll use those for a couple of scenes
Be on time! We need to start shooting straight away, and we can’t really wait long for people to find their way.
Dress up for a cold, festive day out.
DISABLE ALL SPEED BUFFS! Hunters, I am especially looking at you and the “Find the path” skill, please disable it.
Disable all pets.
Be prepared to follow orders.
Try to avoid speaking in /say, use the raid (/ra) or the custom chat channel announced on the night instead
Screenshots
In addition to the video shoots, I’d also love it if all hobbits sent me an individual screenshot of themselves in-game, in a festive/merry/yule motive. I can use those in the end credits of the video.
Please follow these guidelines for the screenshots:
The higher resolution, the better!
Use widescreen format (16×9 or similar), don’t cut out just a small picture of yourself.
Don’t add any effects or text to the images. Turn off UI elements, NPC names, etc.
Make sure the screenshots aren’t too dark.
Don’t send pictures you have sent to previous Yule videos
Send the screenshots to me before end of December 19th, at the very latest! Use this email: lina.willow[at]yahoo.com
For inspiration, here is a playlist of all the previous yule videos. ))
