Garrys Mod Pony Video Event!

The Garrys Mod Ponies have been out for a while now, and I haven't really posted any of the videos. I've been receiving a flood of these things, so I'm pretty sure it's time for an event!

I've tried digging information out of people who are experienced in creating this stuff for a way to determine steam awards, but it seems like everyone has a different guesstimate on how long something like this would take/how difficult it is. So I'm rolling with an easy setup for this round.

Using whatever source engine software you deem necessary, craft a pony movie.  Feel free to use any Garry's Mod models you want, as long as it includes the pony ones in some way. 

THE RULES
1.) Due to the nature of Garry's mod, I'm assuming some explosions and pony pieces are inevitable, but try to keep the senseless gore and "cupcakes" crossovers to a minimum. 
2.) No blatant sexual themes, keep it R rated at the maximum.
3.) The Great and Powerful Trixie still needs a model!

THE REQUIREMENTS
1.) Must be at least 50 seconds long not including the credits
2.) Must include a pony model of some type.
3.) Must be uploaded to Youtube or some other Streaming spot (Don't send me download links!)

THE REWARDS
1.) I'll do a vote of all entries when the time comes.  The top 2 will each receive 10 dollar steam games of your choice (I'm assuming you all have Steam if you are using source)
2.) Channel views/subscriptions duh! 

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
All submissions should be sent to Sethisto@gmail.com, in this format:
1.) Subject line of email: GARRYS MOD
2.) Body of email:
  • Title of Video
  • Youtube Link
 All entries are due on August 21st at 11:59 PM (2 Weeks from now)

If you have any questions, feel free to toss me an email!

If you need Garys Mod pony models, hit up this thread!

I read that part as keep it R rated at a minimum....Whats wrong with me...

Octavia said...

Oooh, this could be fun. Not my thing exactly, but I'm sure there are some Bronies out there who will have a lot of fun doing this. Make'em epic!

"Hey Seth! Catch!" She tosses a hoof-written letter at the screen, but nothing happens. "Oh..."

Star Winged Brit said...

Sadly for me, I can't enter this contest at all because the earliest I can get myself a good laptop to use Gmod on is exactly one day after the deadline (my 18th birthday (mid-life crisis ahoy)) anyhoo, best of luck to everyone who enters. If you want some inspirations then I suggest looking up some famous Gmodders on youtube and watching a few of thier videos, I personally reccomend RubberFruit and Oulapplayer.

Im so tempted to start a gmod server in honor of this event

Skylark Torch said...

Seth, I am dissapoint.
It needs to be a PG-13 rating, Maximum.

Karuik said...

I foresee some seriously crazy stuff from this contest.

Brownd said...

THIS ISN'T LABELED AS "NO FANFICTION"!!! I ALMOST DIDN'T GET TO SEE THIS!!!
You should add that, y'know

>10 dollar steam games

Sure are generous, Seth.

Great, I can't even compete in this one. -_-

HungrymaN said...

I love gmod and am saddened by the lack of pony content. This will surely make some more pony mods and videos!

Anonymous said...

50 seconds? damn. I don't think I've seen a gmod pony video thats over 50 seconds yet. Also 10 dollar steam cards? I think the raffles have better prizes. lol. just as someone to do commisions or something for the winners. Your Sethisto damnit. I'm sure artists would love to do that. throw your weight around dude

sunburst said...

ummm how do you get the mod to do this...

Robo-Dale said...

You should totally put all of the best ones you can find into an idiots of Garrys mod esque video with a bunch of the pony vids combined into one video although that would be hard due to getting the rights from everybody but it would be awesome if it's possible And if the contributors don't mind

anzul said...

DERPY VS THIWLIGHT!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN BRONIES!!!

Sethisto said...

It's more of a test thing, I'll probably run a bigger one with better rewards in the future.

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

@Sethisto

Gah! Seth, you just folded like a pack of cards! Don't do that!

Gee, I'm sincerely sorry you don't like the FREE prizes that Seth is GIVING AWAY FOR FREE. I'm sure that he would get better FREE PRIZES HE IS GIVING TO YOU if he wasn't so busy SPENDING HIS PRECIOUS TIME RUNNING A SPECIAL EVENT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF YOU UNGRATEFUL LOUTS.

Some people's children, I tell ya...

Anonymous said...

Oh boy. I can't wait to try and get the game to properly render videos again. Hopefully it'll work this time.

@sunburst
There are various ways. Easiest way is to just record the stuff in FRAPs. Another way that won't cost you money or require third party programs is to record the stuff as a demo and convert the demos to videos, though it's a bit more complicated.

Are gifs okay? w/ gifs I presume you could do stuff similar to claymation.

D4SHTH3R4INB0W said...

@HungrymaN Dude I'm doing Reskins of the current pony models.

RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.NET
Never made a Gmod video though, will surely be fun though.

Namefag Anon said...

FINALLY Equestria Daily gets around to addressing Gmod.

after this contest is over, we still need standard Gmod video posts like with PMV's, Music's, YTP's, etc.

D4SHTH3R4INB0W said...

@Danne2 all you need is youtube VTFedit and a decent editing program...

Danne2 said...

@D4SHTH3R4INB0W

I mean, I know how to edit textures, I just suck at that kind of stuff. I have Gimp and everything I would need, it all comes down to how well I can do it.

Too bad 69Starmix96 isn't a brony. Otherwise, he'd win in 10 seconds flat.

Anonymous said...

Woohoo! Definately competing in this one.

Roxor said...

I'd consider trying my hand at this, were it not for the fact I know nothing about working with the Source engine.

Monketron said...

Oh man....i finally have a reason to make an epic video using the Pony models, rather than the random, pointless shit i always make. LOL

Bloodyartist123 said...

Been playing Garry's mod for 3 years and heck I'll give a shot to make a vid! :)

SSGTPaingod said...

Man, been too long since I've done GMod stuff... uhhh, quick completely unrelated question, anyone know of any downloadable muffin/cupcake models?

ShadowBX said...

Does it have to be 50 secs only or could you go under that time?

DoubleMallow said...

Rule #3 needs to GTFO. I hope they never make a Trixie model.

Danne2 said...

"1.) Must be at least 50 seconds long not including the credits"

I'm not even a third done with mine and it's already 4 minutes long :\

Danne2 said...

@ShadowBX

"at least 50 seconds long"

That means has to be 50 seconds or longer.

Danne2 said...

OH LOL

I don't follow fanfics so I don't know what's being written. My video is "My Little Pony Stargate is Magic" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2KZBXcEwPk) and I just discovered there's a fanfic "Stargate Equestria..." Ah well. From the plot description I read, it's 100% different, so I'm fine.

SSGTPaingod said...

@Danne2 Not bad, it seemed to drag on/meander a bit but full marks tech wise.

Also, yeah, what you've done has no resemblance to SGE aside from it involving a Stargate, so you're gold.

Danne2 said...

@SSGTPaingod

Yeah, I spent a good while deciding if I should only use one of the 2 flying segments.

I tried having other things go on while the gate was dialing, but it just wouldn't work out, filming wise.

I'm debating make a series out of this though. I have a whole script for a second one written, but I'm not working on it right now. I'm speedrunning Portal in (20 minutes) on livestream :D

CONFOUND THESE PONY RAGDOLLS.

... There... is NO amount of irony that could be condensed into this one post. If we were talking goldy, plutoniumy or tungsteny, but irony aint dense enough. Though you obviously are.

... I apologise, that was a low... like you IQ, DAMMIT BRAIN!

Argh! Wish i had found this earlier, i had already had an idea, but no reason to make it, or the time.

An update to TF2 made gmod unlaunchable :(

Garry said he's sent a fix to valve but steam isn't downloading it yet

Anonymous said...

Thank you Valve(for fucking it up yesterday night with that Source update) and Garry(for fixing Valve's fuck up... but fucking up the ragdolls in the process), you couldn't pick a better moment to fuck up GMod.

Anonymous said...

>:( half way thought making my video and suddenly gmod decides to go poo brains. i'll never finish the video now :'( i bet garry found out about this contest and decided to fake gmod breaking just to mess with us. i mean i don't even have tf2 (laptop too slow to play so i deleted it) and mine still broke! im getting suspicious now.

Anonymous said...

(same anonymous that posted at 8:13 that didn't have tf2.) he sent out the new, NEW patch to valve to fix everything... supposedly maybe if i can get it early enough i may possibly have enough time to make my video... i hope...

SSGTPaingod said...

Good luck, mate. What actually broke in GMod besides it not starting (saw that happen last night)

God damnit these ponies models are so hard to work with ¬¬ but i shall make a good video!
