Online Video Contest,
The same overall format in parts 2 and 3 will be utilized for the
most part by recording one's 8 best figures of his or her choice. Some items
already tabled have been repeated in this section for clarity. A announcement
will be posted on RCGroups.com and this blog
detailing the video contest opening and close-off dates. After this time,
judges will be chosen and given 72 hours to submit their final results.
1. The scorecard rule in Part 2, line 6, is to be
determined before the event begins.
2. One video per entrant is
required.
3. The video needs to be
well focused with good lighting and be recorded in such a manner so that the
judges can clearly see the glider without obstructions. The glider should
clearly stand out in the viewing screen, while reviewing the performances, so
as to provide clarity for fair and proper judging.
4. The
footage containing the figures are to be edited into one continuous
string, recording just the entry, the actual figure and the exit.
Time constraints and fly-box boundaries are not a strict factor. See sample
videos.
Sample contest videos that you
can judge and score. Give it a try considering criteria in Part 3.
5. At the beginning of each figure, video clips are to display the figure number, figure name, and maximum points allowed per the published figure selection list in part 3.
6. Any monoplane glider of choice may
be flown using any figures of choice in
the contest video.
7. Duplicate figures are not
allowed.
8. You must be the sole pilot of the plane
in the video to be awarded points. Substitute pilots are not allowed.
9. You may use your past unpublished
or published video material to choose your best performances according to the
parameters and criteria in this format. See part 2, item 8, and part 3. If it is found that
any material in the video is not yours, the entrant/s
will be disqualitfied.
10. Flight order of figures in the
video is open to your editing choice.
11. You may edit video clips in from
different flying sessions.
12. Background music is optional but it should not affect score.
13. Video affects are optional but this should not affect the score unless the figure is
shown with a distracting or visibly distorted presentation.
14. A slow motion clip may be used
after the real-time video clip in the string to help judges clearly see
complicated and dangerously close to the ground figures. For instance this will
help if the speed of the figure is too great to see a tip or tail drag per say.
You may not in full, substitute a real time video clip for a slow motion clip.
If you are going to utilize the slow motion effect for a particular figure,
both the real time and slow motion clips must be shown back to back in the
string in order to receive a proper score. Both proper and improper versions
are shown in the videos above for your review. Video ‘1’ shows a SONIC performing a Tail and Tip
drag that are properly submitted with real time and slow motion clips.
