Did you know that “RuneScape” is one of the top five terms searched for on YouTube? As such, we like to check out the latest films made by the many RuneScape movie boffins out there. They’re so good, in fact, that we’ve teamed up with one of RuneScape’s most talented machinima (films made with game engines) masterminds, TehNoobShow, to launch a competition to seek out the most entertaining player-made RuneScape video known to humankind. The rules are simple: create an original video short (around two minutes) that’s both entertaining and creative, in the RuneScape game.
The competition launches today, and you have until the closing date of 25th August to submit your videos on the YouTube website. When the entries are in, Andrew, Mark Gerhard and some video-hungry members of the Community Management team will then shortlist five finalists. Those five videos will then feature in a RuneScape weekly poll, allowing the community to choose their favourite.
The video with the most votes will be declared the winner and will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Jagex Games Studio, from wherever they are in the world, and, once here, they will get to meet the developers and creative types that bring RuneScape to life. We’ll then send them off with an armful of signed Jagex goodies. The four runners-up will bag some membership, autographed t-shirts, mugs, mouse mats, mice and other stuff.
Please note that all videos must be made within RuneScape (live action isn’t machinima), and must be submitted via YouTube. We cannot accept entries sent to the Postbag or Gallery email. For a full list of rules and conditions, and to see an example video from TehNoobShow, subscribe to our YouTube page at www.youtube.com/runescape. If you’ve a question about the competition or are looking for some tips on making your own video, check out this forum thread. We can’t wait to start checking out the contents of your creative brains.

Hi guys,
If you've come here from the main news posts, then you'll already know all about this thread. If you've just wandered in here by accident, then here's a forum friendly version of the news post for your reading pleasure:
Community Management spend a huge amount of time talking to players, getting feedback on the community’s likes and dislikes, organising events and following the achievements of some of RuneScape’s greatest heroes.

We've created this thread to help you share ideas and hopefully answer each others video making based questions. We'll be tracking down some helpful guides and may even grab a couple of pros for a bit of Q&A at some point.
As time goes on, we'll then create an FAQ which we'll paste into one of these J-mod posts that Hohbein has so thoughtfully reserved.
In the meantime, thanks for reading and the best of luck to you!

EDIT:
Just seen a good question so let me clarify right from the off, please don't post URLs here! All comp stuff will be on the channel itself!
Q: Does this mean I can name Youtube videos on the forums now?
A: I’m afraid not. The forum rules haven’t changed and you still shouldn’t point anybody to specific videos on Youtube. This is because it’s very difficult for players to know what a video will contain until it’s too late, and we’d hate for people to be sent to videos containing rule breaking or cheating.
Q: Is Tehnoobshow entering the competition?
A: No, Tehnoobshow has been helping us arrange the competition and created the awesome launch video you’ll see by visiting the RuneScape channel on Youtube. Don’t worry, though, he’ll be rewarded for helping us!
Q: What if me and a group of friends submit a video? Can we all come to Jagex if we win?
A: We’ll only be able to bring one winner over to Jagex – we’d love to have more, but we’d have to draw the line somewhere and I have a feeling we’d always end up having people feeling ‘left out’. It’ll be up to you to decide who comes.
Q: Can I make an RSMV? (RuneScape Music Video)
A: As long as you're sticking to the Youtube terms of service, then feel free to make your video any way you want to.
More to come later...
