Information and Rules

Hey there everyone! If you're reading this, then you must be
interested in what the Once Upon a Time... section is and how
you can get involved.
WELL!!!
Once Upon a Time is dedicated to expanding personal taste. Every
video is done in a "commercial" style (30 seconds-1.30 minutes
long) using the title "Once Upon a Time" followed by an
introduction to the movie or show that has been used as clips.
For example::
If I were to do a video for The Little Mermaid, I would use
clips from ONLY The Little Mermaid (no crossovers allowed!) with
a fancy opening title that reads: "Once Upon a Time....There
lived the Little Mermaid" and would devote the rest of the video
to portray The Little Mermaid in a way that, if others were to
see it on TV, they would go 'Wooow! I wanna see that movie!"
Be sure to include a short opening for each video. The opening
for this section are done a little differently. Using the Beauty
and the Beast as an example, the opening would look like this:
Brought to you by CrystaBlade
In Association with Luna Star Pictures
Once Upon a Time...
There lived the Beauty and the Beast
Also, like commercials, you are allowed to use any song that you
wish ( ;D ;D THATS RIGHT! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A SONG USED IN
THE MOVIE/SHOW YOU ARE PROMOTING! ;D ;D )
How do you become eligible to do this? Go to the audition board
of this section and in the topic reply with what movie or show
you would like to promote and the song(s) you will be using. If
your movie or show has not had a video created for it already,
and the movie/show hasn't been claimed yet, then after it has
been approved by me or an Admin, you're free to make your video.
However, you will be given only 1 week to complete this video
before it will be taken off the list and become available again,
so be aware of you're deadline (when approved, you will be given
you deadline right away. I find it easier to remember when I use
sticky notes on my computer.)
Now I know that there are going to be times where someone has
taken an idea or video that you would have liked to do; never
fear! There will be times where the OUaT (Once Upon a Time)
series will be "refreshed". This means that all the videos that
are currently done will be put into one collection album, and
put back into the "Available" section (This refresh will happen
every ten videos).
When making your video, make sure you download the Luna Star
Pictures Once Upon a Time logo video to use at the start of your
video. This will NOT be included in your original time (like if
your video was exactly 1.30 and got bumped over due to the
opening, don't panic! The time from the opening will not be
included when you submit it.)
Why the time rule?
Commercials are short for a reason: in the little amount of time
it is on, it's job is to get you to do what it wants. In this
case, in a short amount of time, the commercial must convince
the viewer to see this movie or show. Because of this, the
commercial must be interesting and well put together. In a way,
this is editing practice for beginners as well as brush up
practice for advanced editors. If you can make an awesome video
in less than 2 minutes, than you can make your own AMAZING video
that's 2 minutes or more.
So have fun! Try to get as many people as you can to want to
watch your movie or show!
:o :o BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE?!?!? :o :o
For those who have participated in more than 10 Once Upon a
Times, you will be eligible to become an Admin for LSP! How do
you do this? Well: message Me, CrystaBlade, asking to become an
Admin for Luna Star Pictures, and with this message include a
video which addresses the theme "Guide and Cherish".
