Video Review Rumble II

Contributor: Carrie Ann Carrie Ann
Hello!

Are you ready for the next Video Review Rumble? We're changing things up a bit this time, making it more fun, more fair and a bit shorter so we don't have so many entries to weed thru at voting time.

The News

Not only are we making it a bit shorter but we're giving away not one, not two, but three prizes to three different winners in three different categories. Plus - get this! - a bonus prize for more "adult" videos. *

The Rules

Rules are super simple:

Every video turned in is eligible to win and automatically entered.

You can do up to FIVE videos per week. (Just don't upload them all in one day, please!)

As always, check with me (carrieann@edenfantasy s.com) for approval before you record your video so we don't get duplicates. Generally, only one video is allowed per product. Be sure you have the intro file!

Email me when you've uploaded a video, please. No email, no gift card, no entry!

That is all! Do make sure you take a look at the video guidelines as normal guidelines need to be followed.

Anyone that adds a video to a review - be it a new review or an old review - gets entered and at the end of the designated time frame we'll list them all, Rumble style, and let you guys vote for a winner in multiple categories.

When

Video Review Rumble II starts today, Friday, September 3rd and runs thru 11:59 PM EDT Saturday, September 18th. Voting will begin shortly thereafter (exact dates to be announced after the submission period is over) and will be open for one week.

The Prizes

As mentioned, we're doing multiple prizes this time in multiple categories.

Prize #1 for Most Entertaining/Creative Video will be The Cone! (Entertaining/Creative videos will first be determined/voted on by staff, then entered into the Rumble for the best to be voted on by the community)

Prize #2 for Best Video Review of a Vibrating Toy will be A Fairy Wand - winners choice of style (all videos of vibrating products will be automatically entered)

Prize #3 for Best Review of a Non Vibrating Product will be winners choice of either Lelo Luna Beads or The Lelo Bob (all video of non vibrating products will be automatically entered)

And Prize #4 for Best "Adult" Video will be a Liberator Wing (all adult videos will be automatically entered)

*Fine Print

I'm sure many of you are wondering just what we mean by "Adult" videos - and I'm going to explain and also welcome any questions you may have, since this is something brand new we're trying.

Basically, what we're looking for is not porn, not the toy in use, not penetration or intercourse or even the showing of genitals. Think sensual, erotic, not porn. Nudity is okay, sexy clothes and nudity are encouraged, but we want this to be a review, not a porn show.

Good examples of what we're looking for, visually, can be found on the Liberator site. Liberator Flip Ramp or Liberator Hipster or Liberator Equus Sexy, fun, tasteful stuff that is still a review. Or check out these on youtube Naughti Girl, Ohmibod or Sportsheets Chain Ball Tickler.

Interested? I know we have some cam girls and models, some clip sellers and some exibitionists in the community. Shoot me an email (carrieann@edenfantasy s.com) for more details on how to upload these types of videos as the directions are a bit different - we don't want to shock anyone by having them display without a warning or safety measures on the Community Page, you know?

Ready, Set, Go!

That is all! Get busy, folks! This is sure to be amazingly fun!

As always, feel free to ask any questions you may have either in comments or by emailing me.

Wow the adult video reviews should be interesting! I won't be making any, but I am definitely curious to see what others come up with!

Just as an fyi, since I'm sure it will come up, gift card payments for adult videos are also substantially higher. Deets if you email me!

I'm slightly confused. So you want it to be like those videos (the adult ones) or an actual review? Since those videos don't seem to be very review-like.

Visually like those. Many of them, if you look, are erotic pictures made into a video with voice over. Or, voice over can be done to regular video. If you watch some of Jaiya's, she talks as she's making the video.

They're just an example. We definitely want a review - though, again, video reviews do not,even normal ones, need to include specs, material guidelines, etc - just a review done in a tastefully erotic way.

It's an area we haven't worked with before, haven't really looked at but is appealing to a lot, lot, lot of internet users so there are no definites, just some fun experimentation for right now.

Also, basic guidelines are here in case you missed them in the initial post.

We've also updated the system so that, should any of you choose to upload "adult" videos you can add the tag "Nudity" and they will automatically have a warning placed upon them and screenshots will not be grabbed/shown on the main site.

I would be interested in making a sexy type video, I just don't know if I have the resources software-wise to make it interesting. Very cool idea though!

Most folks just use Windows Live Movie Maker or iMovie on a Mac - though, admittedly, they're both pretty basic and don't allow a lot of editing options.

We're actually looking into getting licensing codes for Adobe Premiere but I need to play with it more, see if it's user friendly enough. Argh! I need an extra day, a secret, special one, every week. Lol.

How cool that I stumbled on to this site three Hours ago!!! My husband and I are so looking forward to being a part of this on line community of like minded people.
Although we missed out on this Video Rumble, definitely looking forward to checking out submissions. Hopefully to submit some of our own next time.
