Submission Requirements

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS:

Submissions must be a 120 second video or less and are due by the end of Thursday February 23rd. If you are running late: IMMEDIATELY contact admin@firstupdatesnow.com or Tyler on Discord at FirstUpdatesNow

Your Premiere Night Video should include and show off your robot no matter what stage you are in. Simple teasers will not be accepted and do not reflect the spirit of Premiere Night. We recommend a minimum of 30 seconds of your robots current state on screen (not including intro’s/outro’s and filler). This most likely would mean a video that is at minimum 45-60 seconds.

This video should be unique to Premiere Night. You can have other videos created but the video submitted should be entirely unique to help make the night special and create urgency for others to watch. You can release your video publicly after premiere night. Premiere Night videos may not have blurred out or redacted parts

Your Premiere Night Video needs to be uploaded to YouTube under UNLISTED (make sure it is not public or private) until after Premiere Night

Video quality needs to be filmed and uploaded at 720p or 1080p in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Video needs to fill the entire frame (do not film in a lower resolution and then upscale to 720p as your video will be rejected).

Audio: Your choice for what you want to use but note that unless it is copyright free most likely your video will be muted in the Twitch archive and could be removed from the YouTube archive. Do your research ahead of time and know what may be blocked on YouTube so we do not have to remove your video or put other music on your video.

FUN has white-listed Monstercat music for streaming and YouTube. Feel free to utilize music at monstercat.com in your reveal video to guarantee it is not muted in the stream archive or blocked on our archive. You can also find royalty free music on YouTube.

We’re starting to get submissions for Premiere Night! Reminder that submissions are due by end of Thursday. If you have any issues (midwest is getting pounded by a winter storm) and require an extensions please reach out to me for approval and how long you require. We will need a short clip to utilize by end of Thursday still.

Teams: If you need an extension especially those impacted by severe weather please DM me and let me know how long of an extension you are requesting. We will try out best to accommodate and can only grant so many as I still have to process, edit and EQ all videos coming in.

Maybe it didn’t work the first time?

I won’t speak for them but they were looking to submit and informed me they would not be able to make it.

There were some other teams that had the same situation this year. Even though we got more submissions we also had more drops. Overall we’re delighted to showcase the teams that were able to submit.

In their teasers, they show a censored robot scoring, and at the end someone shouts “IT WORKED THE FIRST TIME”
