KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Hey guys! We're down to the last events for our Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Celebration -- Giveaways!
That's right, we've got physical prizes in store for you guys, which we're giving away for free.

Entering is simple! A thread will be posted for each item, and the winners will be chosen in a guessing game. To enter, please pick a number between 1 and 1000 and post it here. You may enter once per giveaway (so you can post a number once in every thread). The giveaway will run for two weeks, after which the thread will be closed and the closest two posters to the secret number will win! In the event that multiple people post the same number, winners will be decided on a first-come-first-serve basis.

If you win more than one giveaway, you must pick one prize and the next closest guesser will receive the other.



IMPORTANT: You MUST be able to provide a valid shipping address and name to ship to. It can be your name (first name and last initial are okay), your legal guardian’s name, or even a friend that can give it to you, but usernames will NOT be accepted as a ship-to name. Winners will be contacted via PM for this information and it will all stay strictly confidential with the individual member that is shipping the item to you. Contests are open to all registered KH-Vids.net members except current staff members.
The owner and staff members of KH-Vids will not be held responsible if the shipment is lost, damaged, delivered late, or anything that is beyond our control once it is postmarked, nor can we replace it if that is the case. This is not an official promotion by or associated with Square-Enix, Ltd.

Gamestop (Or EBGames depending on where you're from) has released a small piece of new Kingdom Hearts 2 Merchandise to the collectibles section. A Kingdom Hearts throw has been made available depicting Sora in his Final Form attire, accompanied by a horde of shadow Heartless. This lovely new addition is made available for $24.99 US.

So here we are again! After almost a year the top 5 has returned! This is the first time I've ever judged one of these so I was very excited and what a come back, the entries were brilliant which gave me one hell of a job picking the top 5. I enjoyed judging this and you've all helped inspire me to pick up my video editting again so thank you everyone who entered. Anyway, without further ado:

This Week's Judge(s): Ienzo (Vashta Nerada)

1. [KH] - Be My Escape


Submitted by: FurySp4rk
Song: Be my escape by Relient K
Details: I thought the editting was exceptional in this one, I liked your use of effects and making them superbly fit with the beats of the music. Not only that but you picked fitting video clips for the pace of the music and even the lyrics.

2. [KH 10th Anniversary] LIGHT UP THE SKY
Submitted by: lillovedoctor
Song: Light Up the Sky (Solomon Olds Remix) by Thousand Foot Krutch
Details: I loved the use of text and your timeline way of presenting the sesries as a whole. I thought you pitched the video well with the song and you kept it interesting throughout.

3. Lights;
Submitted by: Knightshade
Song: Lights by Joel Faviere
Details: Not many people can do text well but this is one of the few I've seen which does. I quite liked the yellow effect over the top of the entire video as it made it flow better. The song was calm and so were the clips you used which was done very well. I thought it fit Sora and Kairi as well and you portrayed their relationship nicely.

4. [Look me in the eyes-]
Submitted by: Anzu_100
Song: Wild heart by Sabi
Details: This also uses text well to the most part and I like the sobre effects you've given over the top. You incorporated the beats nicely into your video editting but the one bit which I thought could have been a bit better was 0:30-0:35 where the crackly texture over the top just didn't seem to fit. However, that is me being picky because I loved this video.

5. Kingdom Hearts tribute- Awake and alive
Submitted by: Sonicfan23
Song: Awake and Alive by Skillet
Details: I thought this was very different because they aren't effects I've seen a lot which is why this one stood out to me. I liked your use of clips overall and voices over the top although I thought it may have been better to put them in the instrumental parts of the song but that's just my opinion. Brilliantly done!

Congratulations to all who placed this week!
Haven't placed yet? Don't give up! Your video certainly was not bad, and you may place in a future week.

If you guys recall, for the 10th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts we put together a video highlighting the staff's experiences with the series. We asked you guys to submit your own videos--I'm just putting up a reminder that the due date is Thursday, November 1st, which is one week from today. If you still want to submit, you do have time, but please get them in as soon as possible!

If you're unsure what to talk about, here's some food for thought:

1. Describe your first experience playing a game in the Kingdom Hearts series.
2. What effects has the Kingdom Hearts series had upon your life?
3. Who or what got you interested in the series?
4. In your opinion, what is the most memorable part in the Kingdom Hearts series?

But you're really free to move beyond these. And here's some general submission information:
Hope to see some submissions--remember, all the submissions will be edited together into one big video, and you'll be showcased on the KH-Vids homepage and YouTube channel!

Back in early August, we announced the opening of our radio station, which plays music from Kingdom Hearts, Square-Enix, and Disney 24/7. Since then, we've worked hard to set up a number of events that will keep the radio exciting. A schedule for events is also up on our radio page, but we've got a lot going in the next few days so we thought we'd give you guys a heads up!
