Scott Sigler isn’t shy.
He blazed his way into publishing, knocking down (not on) as many doors as he needed to along the way. It’s worked beautifully.
Take, for instance, his most recent book trailer. Scott put this together with the help of friends and fans. When you watch it, bear in mind this is a book trailer–it’s caused a little confusion with people thinking it’s for a film instead.
But now Scott needs your help. Or, more to the point, he’d like to have your eyes. Scott is hosting a user-generated video contest over on his site. Earlier he invited users to film one of five scripts and place their videos online for consideration. They have done so and so now it’s time to get to viewing.
That’s where your eyes (and ears) come in.
Scott lays it down this way:
HOW DOES A VIDEO WIN?
- Contestants promote their video URLs: They send it to friends, family, enemies, that dude from third-grade English class, whoever will watch and hopefully spread the word. Use social media, embed, link, whatever works (and the goal is to get folks watching, so artificially boosting the view count will not be viewed kindly.)
- On July 7 at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time, we note the view count for each film.
- The five movies with the most views at that time are the finalists.
- The finalist movies are judged by our esteemed panel of whoop-ass judges (see a list of judges on the left-hand side of this page). They all vote based on whatever parameters they like, whatever strikes their fancy.
- On July 14, we announce the grand prize winner.
- Then we send y’all your winnings!
