So Much More… Competition Winners

SMM VIDEO COMPETITION: Important Update

Please see www.bentleyjones.com for full details.

You have spoken and we have listened!! (^^)

Admittedly, the original rules were a little restricted. The reason you weren’t allowed to use GAME CHARACTERS in your entries was because of the legal complications of them appearing in the official music video.

But there have been SO MANY of you who have protested over this that we have come up with a simple solution…

YOU CAN NOW USE GAME CHARACTERS IN YOUR ENTRIES!! To make this happen we’ve had to cancel production of the official music video so that MORE of you can enter. It’s a small price to pay BUT you can still win the same INCREDIBLE PRIZE BUNDLES! Plus there is an extended deadline to Midnight (GMT) March 5th 2010 for anyone who wants to work on a new entry.

YOU CAN:
Sing / Lip-sync
Dance
Act
Play / Air an instrument
Animate
Be as CREATIVE as you can!

YOU CANNOT:
You cannot excessively use official artwork
You cannot use game footage
You cannot use official animations (cutscenes, cartoons, anime etc.)

WINNERS will still receive the original prize bundles. Even better in fact… the concept art has been upgraded to a SIGNED CONCEPT ART BOOK from SONIC & SEGA ALL-STARS RACING.

Entries that have already been accepted WILL NOT BE AFFECTED and the original terms and conditions still apply. However, if you want to SUBMIT A NEW ENTRY you can do that too!

YOU HAVE 2 WEEKS LEFT – get creative!!

SO MUCH MORE…: Ballad Version MV Breakdown

Now that the shop is open and you can pre-order the limited edition of “So Much More…” it’s time to take a closer look at this…

As you’re all aware, here in sunny England we’ve been recently blessed with a slight sprinkle of snow. And I thought this would a great opportunity to get out there and muck about a bit with a video camera. The result was a short music video for the Ballad Version of “So Much More…” and in celebration of it going live on YouTube, here is an analytical breakdown so that you will never be able to take it seriously… (^______^)

ZOMG!!!!1111!!!!1! Itz snowing!!

Nibbles teh Fluffeh Bunneh… ALMOST MOVING IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC!! (@____@!!)

Treeeez!

Walking pensively into the distance…

…only to realise I’ve forgotton my keys.

Gah!! A floating head!! (@____@!!)

Underpants alert!

Forgetting to pay the electricity bill.

Air-grabbing. Just be thankful I didn’t stand up for the key change.

The definitive highlight of the video?

Nibbles… naturally… as usual… (¬_______¬)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! So so so so so much more… (13 days to go!)

Happy New Year everyone!! Things haven’t really stopped here. I managed to take some time off over Christmas, but I’ve been working hard getting SMM ready for you. One of things I’m toiling over right now is the new website… which I know a few Facebookers are going to be very pleased with! (~^)

Opening in the next week or so will be the brand new official shop where you can buy CDs and download MP3s and will also be the home of the illusive limited edition CD version of SMM.

Finally, details of the video competition will also be revealed within the next week (hopefully). I hope you’re all ready to strut your stuff! (^^)

Right… no rest for the wicked. Back to work!

DOWNLOAD: “They Call Me Sonic” studio version + DEVIANTART: contest results!

I got a serious telling off from my publisher in Japan yesterday – for working too hard!! (@@”) This was a big deal in itself since I don’t get told off too often… but coming from the world’s hardest working country I figured I should take their opinion seriously. I was given strict instructions to take today off… but I figured I could still sneak in a lil’ blog before I go back to sitting on my ass.

The results of the art contest over at my fanclub on DeviantArt are in!! A huge thanks to everyone who took part and the good folks who organised it, and congratulations to the winning entry (left) by Shadra! Check out the results and other entries right here.

Anyone catch the parody of “They Call Me Sonic” at SOS09? Everyone’s been asking for a studio version of this masterpiece so Sonic Wrecks are kindly hosting a free download!! You can grab the complimentary MP3 right here. I’ll be uploading the studio version to my YouTube over the weekend when I’m allowed access to my PC again!! In the meantime, here’s the live rendition again in its full glory!!
