Brought to you by Stef

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Triangle Vids Challenge. This challenge is to make any type of vid that involves relationships between three people. Think along the lines of two separate and competing ships ie. Weir/Sheppard/Teyla. They can be any kind of triangle that you want - you don't have to limit yourself to the angsty, romantic type.

As usual, you may use footage from Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis.

You can post your entries in the Triangle Vids Challenge thread at any time.

Deadline for this challenge is August 2, 2009 at midnight GMT.

Feel free to spread the word that the challenge is on!

Just a reminder for any newbies to our lovely challenges:

yay...now to work out what to do and find a good song =D

YES! YES! *pumps fists in the air* OMG, I'm SO excited! *bounces* I've got the perfect song for this! *runs off to get started*

i know what umean jemo im also far too excited about this, i've got an idea for a dan/vala/adria one, i'll have to see how it works out.

Yay! I'm so excited for this challenge - I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

@jemo: Perfect song, eh? Now you've got me all intrigued

@perkin: Daniel/Vala/Adria? Interesting....I don't normally like Adria/Daniel together but I'm excited to see what you can do with them and Vala. If nothing else, it will be just a little bit twisted Although, now you've got me thinking about another triangle involving Adria....

-Stef

I can't do this challenge, I'm going out of town. Darn, I would have loved to try my hand at a Jack/Sam/Cam video. Boohoo!! I'm looking forward to enjoying what you all come up with.

hmmm.... so many triangles, so little time. and no song as of yet *ponders*

@Stef: another Adria triangle? this is sounding better all the time, I can't wait to see what everybody does!!

You can do it!! You have plenty of ships, I'm sure Yeah, the only triangle I can vid for Adria is one of evil...pure, sexy accented evil. Although I did see an Adria/Cam video once that oddly enough worked.

@Uhsir: Aw, I would have loved to have seen a Jack/Sam/Cam video...even if I'm probably rooting for the smaller pairing in that triangle

-Stef

@Nebulan: I hope you do find a song. As for the triangle choices, toss them into a hat and pick one!

@Stef: Me being as I am, I would want to angle more on the Sam/Cam side leaving poor Jack angsting his heart out. Am I cruel or what?

Not cool! You can't tease me like that and then not make the video!! *sigh* I actually did have a Jack/Sam/Cam video started from awhile ago...but I don't know I lot of J/S scenes so it didn't progress very far

-Stef

@Stef: Sorry Maybe if I get into a snarky mood I'll make that video. If you need any help with J/S scenes just do a post in the "Getting Started" section under "Clip Hunting" with the kinds of things you're looking for. I and I'm sure several others would be glad to help.

Unfortunately I can't participate, I'll be rather busy in the next couple of weeks. Additionally I'm not really a shipper, but maybe I'll start to make a shipper vid in the future. At least I already have a song.
But I'm looking forward what you shippers are coming up with, this challenge will be an interesting one!

these vids don't have to be shippy, afterThought says so at the first post I'm actually considering a 3-way friendship at the moment. it'll make sense when(if) I make it

well ive almost finished my dan/vala/adria vid but im not sure about it, its pretty complicated, but even if i dnt enter it ill post it for you guys

Yeah, it doesn't have to be hard-core shipping - any kind of threesome works Heck, you could just show Rodney jealous over John's new friendship with Ronon in S2 if that appeals to you.

@perkins: I say if you're gonna post it, might as well post it in the competition! I love any kind of triangle videos, doesn't matter how simple or complex...so don't let that deter you from entering it!

-Stef

@perkin127: Definitely post it for the competition!

ok seeing as i havent had any other great triangle ideas for the comp i am going to post it =D

I'm gonna post whatever I come up with... which will be last minute since I still don't have a song

Well, I'll be with you in that boat, Nebulan because I keep switching videos...ah, sweet fickleness

-Stef

I'm drawing a complete and utter blank for this challenge, which is kinda unfortunate as this time I actually have enough time, a spiffy computer, and access to all 15 seasons and 2 of the three movies.

Life is just unfair.

Do you need any help brainstorming? Granted, I'm at a loss at the moment myself...but that's only because I'm picky :p

-Stef

@Korat: I don't know if you'd be into it, but I've always loved the AU idea of Teyla/Michael with a very jealous Ronon looking on and angsting. Granted, it'd be hard to piece together, but I bet you could do it.

Just an idea.

oh dear, I give up, I need help finding a song! I have something in mind that needs a missing you or long distance, long time kinda theme. I was considering "Far longer than forever" from swan princess, but it talks about staying true and since this is a triangle challenge... I don't want to make my vid characters liars

Lemme see what's in mah iTunes...

Haha. "Dirty Little Secret" by the All-American Rejects could be promising for a triangle vid, though it's not much about long distance/missing you.

It's been done to death, but there's always "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne.

Hmm... maybe "Miss You More" by BB Mak could made to be triangle if you were creative with it. It's definitely got the missing you part.

"Thnks fr th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy, "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder, "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake, and especially "My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend" by Relient K are all great. Maybe even "What's Left of Me" by Nick Lachey.

Hope that's enough to give you some ideas.

Hm, I'm not sure how you'd make these into triangle videos...but here are some songs that have the 'long distance/missing' theme:

+"Best I Ever Had" by State of Shock
+"Nothing Good About Goodbye" by Hinder
+"Can We Go Back" or "Already Gone" by Kelly Clarkson
+"Lost" by Red
+"Everything We Had" by The Academy Is...
+"Like a Knife" by Secondhand Serenade
+"Home" by Daughtry

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the suggestions!! I'll need to youtube them since I don't have any of them to listen to ^^:

How about "Careless Whisper" by Wham! (George Michael) or the cover by Seether?

Hi this is my first time posting something here and I have a video to enter for this competition. How do i do this?

Welcome, Atlantis Rising!! Glad to see new faces participating in these challenges

To post, just go here: Challenge Folder and click on 'new topic' and then follow the instructions (copy the information template and fill in the blanks). Then post it and it should show up in the folder with the other entry(s). Can't wait to see what you've made!

-Stef

thank you for being so nice. I have looked at videos on this site for ages but i've just been able to start making them. =). I just looked at the page you were talking about it I just wasn't sure about where to upload my video. My website is http://www.shelly-denisof.webs.com is that an approved hosting website?

Files hosted at your site should be fine (provided you have enough bandwidth). YouTube isn't approved, namely because they like to audio swap things! I've been using http://www.4shared.com lately.

I too look forward to your entry and would watch your other videos if I wasn't already late for work ^^;

ARGH! I'm THIS close! Seriously, I have about 20 seconds left to vid, but Ronon is being so DIFFICULT! I'm about to beat him with one of Teyla's sticks.

LOL! Maybe you should...he needs a good beat-down, I think

I WISH I were that close. I've still got a lot of tweaking to do and a chorus. Looks like I'll be cutting this one pretty close, but hopefully I'll make it in time for Sunday!!

-Stef

lol, I've started. But by golly I'll have *something* by sunday! (even tho friday and saturday I won't be able to work on it cuz of my Dad's birthday and a wedding reception. I'm at that age where everyone I know is getting married... except me. hmm... maybe I shouldn't be spending my evenings vidding )

Y'all can do it! I can't wait to see what you two come up with.

Haha. On second thought...maybe we should ask aT for a one/two day extension?

Well, I'm not against an extension of like a day or so I should be able to get mine done by tomorrow but I always like a little buffer room, if possible.

Is one more day possible, aT? Pretty please?

No problem everyone - Deadline is extended until Tuesday at midnight GMT.

Muchas gracias, aT!

Hey sorry if this is common knowledge, but I was just wondering how the videos are voted on and how the winner is chosen?

Basically, anyone who wants to can vote. The number of places you vote for (1st, 2nd, 3rd) depends on how many entries are posted. As it stands right now, it may look like we'll only be voting for first and possibly second.

Hope that answers your question!

I MADE IT! *sits down in corner and passes out*

Ha! You and me both

Hee hee - alrighty folks. Well done - challenge closed.

wow dang, I totally missed that deadline how'd I do that? I got my vid about 3rd finished, it was a Jack/Sam/Teal'c Vid I'll post it when I finish, but without a deadline anymore, it'll be a while

Hey guys,

I'm leaving on vacation for a week in a few hours and with all the craziness, I'm still packing at 2am! I was hoping I'd get to the voting post before I leave. I still may. In the event that I can't, Nebulan - perhaps you could take advantage and use the week to finish up your vid?

In any case, the laptop is coming with me and I'm working on the banners so that I can get them posted when I get back for the winners.

aw, but that wouldn't be fair to those who DID make the deadline. I'll try to do that anyway, since I'm bad about needing a deadline ^^;

I'm back! Voting post will be up tonight!
