The Directors CUT contest of Creative Movies started around 3 months ago, and after a long waited finish it's just over! Near to 8000 public votes helped the judges to select the three best movies in both categories, although it was a very hard work because of the unexpected level of the competition:
Around 2 months ago Creative Movies - in partnership with Sennheiser Communications, Razer, Fragbet, Qpad, ICY BOX and Spawnpoint - started an international movie contest called Director’s CUT in two categories (Counter-Strike and Open Games) and with great prizes, like $ 2000 in hardware and cash. Every movie need consist a 30 second long sponsor adverstisement, only movies with a minimum lenght of 5 and maximum of 15 minutes can take part, and the movie size cannot be more than 500 MB. Also the main rule is that movie submission must be an original, not previously published.

QPAD product line $94:
• 1x QPAD® CT™ Large 4mm

Today the competition reached the next step, the deadline for accepting movies was on Monday. In the last days the CM judge team selected the best movies and then they put them online for public voting. The final winner will be decided by 30% of the audience (community) votes and 70% of the CM judges' opinion. Voting just started and it ends on 10th March 2007.

Only twelve great creations can compete, and there are movies from the biggest games: Counter Strike (6), Quake 3 (1), QuakeWorld (1), Half Life 2 (1), UT2004 (1) and finally in our lovely game, Enemy Territory (2) too.
Enemy Territory is represented by two movies, one of them is the new movie of the Nonix Moviemaker Studio, here is the next episode of the successful Winghaven : Out of the Way movie with a sonorous title: Out of the Way 2: Expect the Unexpected !

When we created underscore like 15 months ago, we never thought it will be so succesful than it was, and after we quit, we never thought we'll be back again. But now, it seems things changed, and formerly Thunder Force - underscore is back after a half year. We had several good results in the past, and it seems we could show that we haven't forgotten all yet.
Our goal is to play in the ClanBase EuroCup XIII, and that could help us a lot in reaching our main goal: take part in one of the biggest LAN events on the world, called QuakeCon 2006 (if there will be ET). Currently we are looking for a multigaming clan, which has interesest in this situation, so feels enough desperation to help us finding sponsors for QuakeCon (if there will be ET).
