Hi everyone,

This time we have a Mod in each area of the contest, and I'll be the Mod over-watching the whole thing, along with doing the writers and animation contests. I'll check on the file size for clarification. The main problem we had with videos during the Halloween contest was making sure they were H.264 encoded. I was using a free encoder found at http://www.h264encoder.com/ and using that to fix video submissions. If you have any problems, site mail me, we will get it fixed, whatever the problem is. Hiccups will happen, that's normal, just don't get frustrated. Contact the Mod of the contest area you are uploading to first, but if they don't have the answer, contact me.

Together we can make this the best contest ever.

Remember, no violence images or writing allowed in this contest. And of course it would be natural for your first thought to be of Charles Dickens stories. But, Renderosity has some of the best artists in the world, so think outside the box. My first thought when I saw the theme was - huh? ghosts?. But then my imagination kicked in and I realized the word ghost could be a synonym. And my imagination shot off like an arrow. Anyway, I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Oh, and please don't wait until the last minute.

Okay then, you all rock and are awesome. Go get it 'em, Team Rendo!

(P.S. I was told to be motivational. Was that good? Are you motivated? I can find myself some Pom Poms if you like. )
