MERRY TEMPMAS EVERYONE!
It's that time of the year again!

We are excited to begin our 2016 tempmas competition! This year we've got an amazing prize for you: a brand new Nintendo Switch console up for grabs! Of course we haven't got our hands on a console yet so it'll actually be a preorder, but still!

So what will you have to do to enter this year? The theme is wide and leaves a lot of room for imagination: Create a short Tempmas-themed video (up to 1 minute long)

Now please carefully read the rules below if you wish to enter:
Who can enter: any registered GBAtemp user, new or old. One entry per user. No geographical restrictions.
Enter before: the 31st at 12PM (noon) UTC
Video format restrictions: video must be up to 1 minute long. Shorter is OK. Longer will be rejected. How to enter: upload your video to YouTube, DailyMotion or Filetrip and post the link in this thread.
Content restrictions: no nudity, violence, pornography, anything illegal, or against regular forum rules.

There will be a public vote (only open to certain member groups though! if you register now just to vote it's already too). Make sure to log on to GBAtemp on the first week of January to cast your vote.

Now, use your imagination to come up with something that will put a smile on everyone's face! The video can be digitally edited, created from scratch on a computer, or simply recorded with a camera (ie. record yourself singing a Tempmas song... record yourself baking a Tempmas cake... etc.).

Have fun making your video and have a very merry Tempmas!
The GBAtemp Team

Spoiler: Lyrics

On the first day of Tempmas.
Costello sent to me.
One Nintendo Switch underneath the tree.

On the second day of Tempmas.
Costello sent to me.
Two banned 3DS'.
And a Nintendo Switch underneath the tree.

On the third day of Tempmas.
Costello sent to me.
Three DCMA notices.
Two banned 3DS'.
And a Nintendo Switch underneath the tree.

On the fourth day of Tempmas.
Costello sent to me.
Four Filetrip files.
Three DCMA notices.
Two banned 3DS'.
And a Nintendo Switch underneath the tree.

On the fifth day of Tempmas.
Costello sent to me.
Five Pokemon rom hacks.
Four Filetrip files.
Three DCMA notices.
Two banned 3DS'.
And a Nintendo Switch underneath the tree.

I would've done all twelve days but I'm already over the limit by 15 seconds. (Even if it doesn't qualify, it still goes to show that anyone can take an hour to make something to enter with.) Trimmed down to one minute exactly. Cheers!

When you say no violence, does that also mean no funny cartoony violence as well?

What's Tempmas?

if you ask about the signification : GBAtemp Christmas.
So the theme is about Christmas related to this forum (video games, console, hacking, etc.) (at best, it would be a switch themed video to win a switch, but it's not a requirement, just christmas spirit with video games)
if you ask in general, it's the events we are doing on gbatemp during Xmas period, usually with gifts and prizes to win.

 

[ketal]

Oh, vid making.
I think I have an idea.

 

[PRAGMA]

Is it Tempmas already?

Well, here's something I have been working on for a week or so for no other reason than I wanted to. So for GBATempmas I present: The Futile Pursuit of Wealth.

Jesus is that running 3DeSmuME lmao?

 

[BurningDesire]

Time to film my self saying the gbatemp prayer cuz I have no actual video editing skilz.

 

[DeslotlCL]

If i get enough motivation i could work on a short flipnote animation featuring a few users...

of course if i can get enough motivation...

 

[pikatsu]

Aside from celebrations and gifts I think that the real Christmas is to care for others. So this is my participation

Hello everybody! I am working on a mini NSMB. 2 romhack for this (Possibly called The Profiles That Stole Tempmas), because why not? I know it says video, but i'll make a video of it, and even possibly release it. What is it? It is a texture hack and possibly level hack that will change the textures to the GBATemp dark theme. As you can see, these are not completed, and are in Alpha. I would record a video, but sadly all my 3DSes are out of charge. I will record one if someone offers to create a video or I find my charger, but for now, this will do.

Spoiler: Pics of what I am working on.

These are low quality because of the editor, but will show better in-game.

Oh, and Bortz gets his own block

*CREATE A VIDEO TO WIN A SWITCH!*
Woah cool!

*CONTEST ENDS IN FOUR DAYS*
Woah fuck

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Is there a second or third place prize or just one winning prize?

A 1 minute christmas themed video about gba temp....

Not really a talented video producer.

Thanks @smileyhead for creating a video! Weirdly, the BORTZ music blocks and the Wii U & PC icons didn't want to show, I'll try to find a fix but for now, this will do.

Check this post if you want to know how it would look like if it worked.
Goodluck everyone!

 

[Pluupy]

Good luck to all the people will skills and personality.

 

[Deleted User]

Hmm well I might make a little thing in AE for this. Sounds cool and I like making videos.

 

[bowser]

Is this your entry?

 

[gnmmarechal]

All right. Going to try my hand at this. Will post back when I'm done

 

[the_randomizer]

Will make a video for sure, I think, as long as I can find my webcam lying around, that, and I shave first

 

[Deleted User]

So, does the video have to be made from scratch or can it include other assets and videos?
