THE VOTING ENDED AND I FINISHED AT 50TH PLACE. PLEASE COMMENT ON THE STEAM GROUP WHAT GAME YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE! YOU CAN CHOOSE IT UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY!

Thanks everyone! I couldn't have done this without your help!

Hi everyone! I figured we'd play a game, since this is steamgifts after all.

I'm a young filmmaker and I just finished my first HUGE project. It was a documentary about the everyday life on Schist villages in Portugal (you can see the trailers and whatsoever in here, here, here, and here). I produced, edited, filmed, and directed this 36 minute documentary all by myself (I apologize for not having subtitles, but all of my current work finishing the color correction on the documentary, plus writing my thesis, as you can imagine, takes all the time I have left).

Now I find myself looking forward a more "urbanish" project. I was thinking about making a new documentary about young artists, that such as myself, keep working on new ideas and projects. So far I've determined I'm going to follow the steps of a bboy/bgirl, a musician, and an illustrator. But for such a project, funding is always needed. For my last documentary, I managed to get 1600€ from a Crowdfunding campaign. This time I don't want to ask people for money again, I want to try something new.

So this is where you come in. I entered for the Benetton "Unemployee of the year" contest, which gives 5000€ to finance the winners project. The top 100 projects with more votes get the prize.

All you have to do is vote here: Our Artists Project (it's a temporary title, don't worry).

You have to click on "Connect with Facebook", and then there should be a button on the bottom of the page with "Aprecciate it" written on, and you can login with Facebook to register your vote, so it's a fairly simple process.

Everyone who votes for this project, please comment here. I'll do a group at the end of the contest, and everyone who voted for me will be invited to this group and get the chance to win a game of their choice (I'll make a poll and you'll vote for the game you want).

Seems fair enough?

Thanks everyone!

PS: I made a new promotional video in ENGLISH for you guys! Check the video out! Thank you!

PS2: If anyone has any doubts about how the contest works, what's the documentary about, what I've been working until now, etc., just ask me. I'll try to answer to every doubts you guys might have! Thanks for helping me so far!

I made this video to promote my entry for this contest. It's in portuguese, but all I'm saying is all that's written on the post, so you don't miss a thing. It might still be interesting to watch, if you like random and weird backgrounds. And for those wondering, yeah, I'm a part time grazier (don't know if this is the correct term in english), and those are my goats.

Saw a few of the trailers. I wonder why you haven't put them up on Youtube instead and implanted English subtitles? It would help you gain a wider audience. I would have offered to help, but I don't know Portuguese. . . .

I don't like the Youtube interface. Vimeo suits me better, and the encoding/compression is also better (but more problematic sometimes).

Some constructive criticism, if I may?
Aesthetics isn't important, you should not be thinking about what suits you but what suits everyone. There is a reason Youtube is such a strong entity in the internet world. It's backed up by Google. And Google is a perfectionist. YT won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Can't say the same about Vimeo; cute as it may be.

That is very true. But would you present your porfolio on a page with an ugly design? Or would you rather show your work on a well designed page? Aesthetics are somewhat important. I've been thinking about switching to Youtube for good, since I've been having some problems with Vimeo. I might just make the leap very soon, and even start making some content exclusivly in English.

Thanks for your input, I always appreciate listening to new ideas!

It took me a while to figure out that this was I wanted to do. But it's always better late than never! Just keep trying new things, and see what you enjoy doing. I won't allow myself to die before I write a book and a manga :D
