What's the thoughts/policy on using copyrighted/commerical music? Would you rather it be royalty free music? How about images?

Official first place won't be awarded to a video using copyrighted music (unless you get permission to use it).

You're free to use the American or Ancient Lux music, which you can get here:

I guess this is technically more of a Lux commercial than a demonstration of gameplay, but...

YouTube version

Higher Quality Flash Version

Enjoy!

hey Dustin,
I should have my video submission done by the end of day. Hoping the deadline is later today rather than sooner. Very Happy

Excellent commercial, Mr. Truck!

Dude, you have to throw "Because Taking Over the World is Fun" @ the end of the commercial. I was waiting for it and it never came.

I eagerly await the MWHM submission! I laughed out loud watching the trailer. Smile

Ok, I finished my submission. I had some troubles with the YouTube upload so here is a link to the Flash file for now (it's 9.5 MB so it will probably load quite s-s-slow for all but hi-speed users):
Lux Education in Two Minutes

BTW - I like MB's better too!

Awesome work on the videos MB and sasquatch. One note, sasquatch, I kinda wish you had used footage of actual players playing and not bots. I think for the uninitiated, the board moving that fast may be a confusing demonstration of real Lux gameplay. Other than that, though, the video was absolutely spot-on.

I love the porn music. Awsome job you guys I would vote for either.

Success! Here's the YouTube link:

Very Happy

Errr, you probably want to hit "watch in high quality"... there's a link near the lower right corner of the video for that. YouTube's "normal quality" looks like I have my glasses on backwards.

Coolio!

Here's a direct link to the high quality version of Sas' video on YouTube:
