..and I didn't submit anything. After changing plans few times, in the end I didn't have much time left. I think they should change their stupid release rules next time, I'll make a forum post at tek9 later.
Looking at their ftp server I see at least 3 quake movies coming up:
- O.M.G._2_by_DisSidenT.rar
- The_Gate_Keepers_by_zeroql.rar
- Rebirth_by_grzesiek.rar (not 100% sure about this one)
Looking forward to these, especially zeroql's one. According to the contest schedule the video release period starts on September the 3rd and ends on the 17th.

afterspray - summary
Five days after releasing the movie, now that things calmed down, I'd like to sum everything up.
As I previously posted, the release exceeded my expectations by far. Which was a nice surprise =) Also, the majority of the comments were positive. At ESR the rating reached 8.3 with 175 votes (you can rate it from 0 to 10). On youtube it received 126 'likes' and only 3 'dislikes', also it was favourited 89 times. With all this said, I think it's safe to say that the video was received rather well.
Time for some stats, at the moment the video has 1034 downloads, over 10.000 views on YouTube and over 4.000 views on own3d.tv. 14.000 views is really a lot in such a short period of time and it's not all because I'm not counting views from different streams uploaded by other people.
It wouldn't get so much attention if it wouldn't be spread by people all over the world. It was posted on a lot of sites, initially I wanted to post links to all of them here but I realized it would take a lot of work :)
A nice thing is that my movie got to
the featured movie page on own3d.tv (notice the most common typo that ppl do in my nickname)
Really nice to see something like that, although I'm not sure if it really increases the number of views significantly.
My movie also got some honours on YouTube, they're constantly changing and I'll probably make a post later when they'll improve
(if they will :) ) Apart from that my profile got an award too "#85 - Most Viewed (This Week) - Poland". It will surely also change. We'll if it can get any higher. Also, if my memory works fine, a few days ago the profile award said something like #17 -most viewed (Today) - Poland, pretty cool. :)
I hope my future project will match the success of afterspray. We'll see about that. :)

Few words for clarification
Hah, I couldn't imagine a better release of afterspray, not even in my wildest dreams. It's a huge success and it only motivates me to work on further projects. I won't be going into details just yet, gonna release some numbers and charts tomorrow.
What I wanted to write in this post is a response to a couple of comments.
First of all, the title. I had a hard time with finding a good name for the movie. Some of you might heard the ESR's "I'm spraying cum everywhere!" (when for example a tourney is announced, or is drawing near). Later on Carmac, a well known ESL employee, used a modified version of the sentance in his ESR columns, for example "IEM European Championship - sprayworthy?" or "IEM World Championship - let's (s)pray". I thought it would be nice to name the movie in a similar fashion.
Next, fox name tag. Everyone thinks it's a dinosaur skeleton,
when in fact it is supposed to be a upright fox skeleton. I found the original image with google, I was looking for a fox skeleton / skull. I really like the image and as I mentioned in the previous post - this name tag is my favourite.
Calipt, heh. That's a funny story as I already explained at ESR
I didn't have an idea what to use as calipt's name tag, so I had a little chat with him on irc. He said that he likes wearing caps so a cap would be nice. So I googled it and a bunch of different caps showed up, I found this outstanding image and showed it to him as I found it funny, but I didn't thought about actually using it. He said he loves it and asked if I could photoshop his face into it and use it. And so I did ;)

The Afterspray - my newest quakelive movie
Finally, over almost 6 months of work it's finished. Making this movie took A LOT of my free time, but it was fun, and it was worth it. I hope you'll enjoy it.
For now just a direct download link, I will update this post with streams and mirrors.
maverickservers.com
YouTube
As for additional content, I will upload all the demos from both events, downloading them from ESL site was really a pain and took a couple of hours to click every demo one by one.
Here's a slideshow of the screenshots of the editor shot, I think it looks quite interesting.
Here we have some rejected name tags, most of them look pretty hilarious.
Here's a preview of my favourite name tag I made, which belongs to fox.
More stuff to come later.
