Get your freak on and win some Moog Gear.

Moog Music is sponsoring a Halloween Theremin Video Contest.

In addition to its more serious side, the Theremin has a long history of use in horror/sci-fi movies. In celebration of this history, we’re awarding prizes to the videographers who do the best job of re-creating this experience.


Rules & Regulations:

Videos must be at least one minute in length. Theremin(s) used must be manufactured by Moog Music.

Participating is easy:

1.Create your best Theremin video with a Halloween Theme.

2.Upload it to your YouTube channel.

3.Post the YouTube URL for your video on the Moog Music Forum (http://www.moogmusic.com/forum) in the Theremin Forum, under the Halloween Theremin Contest topic by Saturday, October 31 at 3:00 pm EST. If you are not already a Moog Music Forum member, you must register.

An online poll will be set up on the Forum On Monday, November 2 at 5:00 EST. Videos judged by Moog Music not to have significant Theremin or Halloween content will not be entered into the poll.

On Monday, November 30, at 12:00 pm EST, the video with the most votes in the poll will be the 1st prize winner. At that time, the judges will also check to see which video has the highest number

of views on YouTube. The video with the highest number will be the 2nd prize winner. If a video wins the poll and has the highest number of views, the lucky winner will receive both prizes! Winners will be contacted through their YouTube account.

Moog reserves the right to unilaterally remove any video which it, at its sole discretion, deems to be unsuitable.


Prizes:

1st prize – Best Video – MF-104Z Analog Delay

2nd prize – Most views – MF-102 Ring Modulator

All contestants whose videos make it to the poll will receive a Moog t-shirt. Limit one t-shirt per video.

Movie Question

Post by CaptRob » Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:40 pm

Thinking about shooting something for the contest and was just wondering if doing a quick still image with a first name would be in violation o f the "must contain no contact information" stipulation. Just wanted to do that as a quick credits/conclusion kinda thing.

Thanks,
Rob

That was a lot of fun. One of the things I liked was the "to be continued" at the end (brilliant). After a minute, I have not had enough, but a least there's hope for a sequel ;)

'I am... everything is... changed... they're calling... your face... interwoven... who is...' Patient mumbles inaudibly to a tune (sounds like 'Thanks for the memory).

Great work on the videos so far. If you're working on one, get it posted quickly so you can get your views count up there.

Suggestion: If you are not already one, become a fan of the Moog Facebook page and post a link to your YouTube there. We have over 9,000 fans there and it should help get your views going.

Good luck to all and keep up the good work.
