Look at the adverts from last year. Do they really feel too long? 15s just doesn't reflect anything from eve. I guess we'r gonna see rushy stuff this year. |

Its too easy to make 30 seconds really drag on and I could give you some good examples from previous years. 15 seconds is a nice amount of time to punch your message through before loosing peoples attention. Also from a bigger view point this is about cutting down the advert breaks so we can get into the action quicker when going from studio to a match. Video Producer |

15 seconds may not seem like a long time but when your watching it or looking at the watch it seems to last longer. I make some vids for my youtube chan sometimes and when putting in the edits its amazing how much you can get into those few seconds. |

15 seconds is way to short, a bad 30 second advert may drag a bit, making a bad 30 second advert in to a bad 15 sec advert will be less annoying. But making all potentially good 30 sec adverts in to guaranteed rushed 15 sec adverts douse not seem a good move.
Many people like to see these adverts, and rushing that is not wise. It would be better if you examine the ads ahead of time and tell the makers of the boring ones to shorten it up or make it more interesting.

Ok lets make a compromise as I do see the points some people are bringing up.
After submitting your 15 second ad, based on the quality of the video you may be invited to make a 30 second cut.
- This is by invitation only, you must first prepare an acceptable 15 second advert.
- Pointing me to previous videos you have done will not count.
- This will only be for the very best adverts, around the top 20%.
- I do realize turning 15 seconds into 30 is not ideal and you may have to start from scratch, it's your choice if you want to go for it.
- The 30 second cut will be rarely shown and most likely kept for the final Sunday as a "special" advert, your 15 second ad will play as normal.
- Its even more important that you send your 15 second ad in early so there is time to review it and for you to work on the extended version.
- There is no guarantee after excepting your 15 second ad that your 30 second ad will be accepted.
Most importantly I need to stress that any invitation will be based purely on the quality of the video, your alliance or service will have no effect on any decision, nor will your previous work. Video Producer |

Very nice, but it's 2 seconds over the max.
Can I submit a "FREE HYDRA" advert? |

You can submit anything you like. Remember, it has to be respectable, whereas CCP do not. |

Keeping it to bang on 15 seconds, interesting and identifying what/who it is about is still very challenging - are adverts that creep over that going to be immediately dismissed, or would they at least be given consideration?

CCP; if there are 30 second adds running please use the 15 second adds as well, as the variation helps keep it interesting. What is the point if every race has an Jam/Damp/Disruptor/ ship etc? Not every race has to be a fluffy little mirror of each other, it's seriously not needed. Things like Gallente having the only drone BS and Caldari having the only ECM BS are incredibly cool distinctions that only add to EVE in both game play value and flavour. |

Welp.
This guy is proof that you can make some real magic in 15 seconds, and if you suck to much to do it, maybe you're not of a high enough caliber to be entering videos. |

those ads are way to short and rushed, therefor very boring, and after getting rushed threw 5 ads in the time of 1 tv spot we have to wait 10min looking at a wallpaper or jita cam .... pleas for next year allow much longer spots and feel free to reject some if they are to long or boring. |

I liked the "There once was a pirate in space" one and the Rote Kapelle one, since they were A. somewhat funny, B. somewhat original and C. not accompanied by too-freaking-loud dubstep. I have nothing at all against dub, but one or two of the ads were quite a bit louder than the rest of the broadcast, which was annoying. I know it's a "thing" with TV ads, but since these don't generate tons of revenue (well, not directly at least), there's really no need for it here.
It'd be marvellous if CCP added a rule for new ads ("don't be obnoxiously loud") or managed to normalise the sound a bit more (caveat: I'm not a sound engineer or video producer, so I have no idea if/how feasible the latter is).
Other than that, not bad. Not bad. I hope we get to see some more vids. Shooting people in the face for fun and profit. Well, for fun, mostly. |
