Hey everyone,

Don't forget that I am running the same video contest as before, and the winner will get our next release....the Gladiator Pearl.  Keep in mind the same rules are in effect for this contest.

Any videos that were entered into the previous contest will not be eligible in this contest.

Well, next try.

Even though it will not win a flower pot (but I am keen on the GP ): here's a current comparison video of my urethane all stars, with the SBG as a benchmark.

Should I assume this one ends at the end of the month?

Hi Rock,

Didn't see the question here.  The video contest will end on April 15th.

Below is the info quoted from the original post about videos and a link to it.

 
quote:
Okay ladies and gents,

I am very interested in seeing as many of you using our equipment as possible, so I am putting out a challenge to you. Make a video of yourself using our equipment, and I will pick out the best 2 videos and those people will get some free goodies. The first place winner will get our next release, and the runner up will get a tote bag and shirt.

Post a link to your video under this thread so I know where to look. There is no limit to the number of videos you can make, so the more you make, the better your chances. Please keep in mind, that if you choose to use copyrighted music to use a disclaimer at the end of the video that states: "The contents of this video are the sole responsibility of YOUR NAME, and Visionary Bowling Products has neither endorsed or been involved in the production of this video".

More info/guidelines.

 
quote:
Lets go ahead and say any visionary ball. I prefer current line stuff, but discontinued stuff will work as well. You are welcome.....Let the videos roll in.


 
quote:
So, I rated these videos based on 5 categories, and gave each category different point values based on importance. I never told anyone how I was going to rate them before now, because I wanted original videos, and didn't want to affect anyones creativity.

1) 5 pts. Ball appearance - includes the angle of camera view to see reaction on the lane, showing image of the ball and it's layout, explaining what the ball was designed for or showing some sort of comparison so that people know what the ball does and/or what it is supposed to do.

2) 4 pts. Professional look - simply how good does the video look. Does it have appeal to the average bowler.

3) 4 pts. Creativity - was the video creative. Did it show multiple angles, did it have any special effects, use of music etc.

4) 3 pts. Following directions - Did you use the proper disclaimer if music was used. This was the only instructions I gave for the contest.

5) 2 pts. Effort - How much effort does it look like the person put into the video. Did they create more than one video (I did say to make multiple videos for a better chance of winning).

Still no G-3 here, so the SBG side roll must still suffice...

I'm going to get mine done this weekend.  It's going to be a lot of fun, we have a Regional at our house this weekend.  So Sunday, when I shoot it, the Chameleon pattern will still be on the lanes, we'll see what happens

Here is my submission for this month's video contest.  It is an AMB Bronze Centaur  designed to go extremely long to combat shorter patterns. The pin is above the ring finger between the AMB drill sheet's "B" and "C" position, with the VMB located in the "4" position.  A balance hole was added to load the ball with positive side (5/8 oz)and finger weight (1/4oz).
