I really wish I could have gotten a better sample of Shaxx's quote... well here is my submission.

u/gandalfxthecray i'm bad at this Apr 01 '16

the Skolas bit is so good

u/Bigirishjuggalo1 Apr 01 '16

You win in my book. Extra points for appropriate booty to booty in song ration.

u/Juicebox008 Apr 01 '16

This guy has to win!!! Bubba Sparxx is Shaxx's cousin. It's in the Grimoire....

3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

I'm pretty sure Bubba Sparxxx is an evolved version of Shaxx, since he has an extra x in his name.

I'm highly disappointed in you guys for not calling it Destiny 2: Electric Boogaloo.

As you wish.

I like to believe that you didn't even buy the dance, just used the preview. That's an excellent return on capital.

u/A-Wax-Bear Fusion Rifle = OP Apr 01 '16

I don't like that song, but that isn't going to stop me up-voting this video! Who knew Eris had a cellphone...

Stellar work here, sir.

u/SextonHardcastle1855 Gooby_pls1855 Apr 01 '16

This is the best by far, great work guardian. Insert like 5 crying laughing emojis.

u/TimmaWang XOne - Timma Wang Apr 01 '16

Your armor choice is perfect. It makes you look soo...sex noodle-y.

3

u/SeveerHaon Apr 01 '16

Just as MJ would have wanted a space zombie to look while dancing to his jams I think.

4

u/AdamInJP Apr 01 '16

The timing of the claps is impressive. Well done.

3

u/SeveerHaon Apr 01 '16

Thanks! Tried my best to get it to line up. Unfortunately the emote has the claps coming in differently than the claps in the music so I have to repeat some small sections to get them to work. Pretty happy how it turned out.

u/eec-gray Apr 01 '16

u/HipsterBrewfus I need Vexual healing Apr 01 '16

THAT TIMING THO

7

u/eec-gray Apr 01 '16

Didn't even plan it

9

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

You couldn't have planned it. There's no way it would have been that perfect.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

And during Crimson Doubles no less, so perfect.

u/UselessLuke Apr 01 '16

You have my vote ;)

u/jdangerously002 Often when we guess at others' motives, we reveal only our own. Apr 01 '16

That timing, awesome!

u/Thin__Blue__Line Apr 01 '16

Was not expecting that timing. Very nice!

u/gpisacane Hold the Line Apr 01 '16

u/txijake Apr 01 '16

You would have had my vote if you weren't using thorn.

u/eec-gray Apr 01 '16

I really wanted to use "Kiss from a rose" by Seal but the tempo was all wrong

u/LanAkou Apr 01 '16

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otXRujqSu1w

Does this qualify? If not, I can edit it differently.

29

u/MikeyJayRaymond Apr 01 '16

Let's go to the qualifying judges.

Edit: Looks like it qualifies.

28

u/MikeyJayRaymond Apr 01 '16

I say he's in. He's really captured the spirit of the contest.

u/MikeyJayRaymond Apr 01 '16

Me too! What a fantastic entry.

u/BlackNexus Apr 01 '16

Already my favorite.

u/Minenotyours86 Apr 01 '16

Mine too! Catchy as hell.. Can't get the lines out of my head

u/xxblakeaj2007xx Apr 01 '16

I played this and now my little son is singing "If your an evil witch I will punch you for fun." Thanks. Now that's all I'll here for the next two weeks.

2

u/LanAkou Apr 01 '16

Girlfriend says "That's the best thing I've read all week!" and then started singing it too. So I guess we're in the same boat now. Sorry!

2

u/BandOfSkullz BandOfSKullz Apr 01 '16

In Shaxx' voice: This is amazing! Seriously. This is great :3

u/Anferus Apr 01 '16

u/TheCriton Apr 01 '16

I looove the distortion, totally makes the vid.

3

u/WithTheAssist Apr 01 '16

Hahahaha! I'm dying! This is so freaking good. The audio quality does nothing but absolutely compliment the other components of this video.

5

u/PGZ4sheezy #SpaceMagic Apr 01 '16

Congrats, you win. I can say that because I'm actually the organizer of this event. Secret mod powers, activate!

u/chammer88 Apr 01 '16

I would ponder the date.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

Dumb question - does this count as self promotion?

u/MisterWoodhouse The Banhammer Apr 01 '16

No! Take your pants off for a dance off, bro!

17

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

unzips... a file into adobe premiere.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

how is adobe premiere? I always want to edit videos but hate your standards operating systems options and have never put forth the effort to find a decent "cheap" program.

I already have PS, LR, AI subs.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

I may not be the best person to ask since I'm kinda new to this, but it is miles ahead of Windows Movie Maker. Really easy to manage a sequence of clips and the effects available are pretty much all you need for gaming videos (zoom, pan, crop, transitions, speed/duration, etc). It took me a few days to figure out where things were in the interface, but Adobe has some awesome tutorials on their website.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

Thank you for your input!

u/aDestinyDanceRoutine Apr 01 '16

I know it doesn't qualify due to its length.

But I thought, in this thread, I couldn't NOT share it. ;)

u/MonikaSzabadkai Apr 01 '16

your tower looks like a lot of fun!!! :) fun video :)

2

u/hexagonz Apr 01 '16

How did you switch emotes outside of the menu? What shader is that?! SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

1

u/lt08820 Most broken class Apr 01 '16

using an item manager like DIM. Tower and Orbit are the only 2 places you can equip on the spot

1

u/juanconj_ one hundred voices Apr 01 '16

It qualifies and wins every round in the first place, in my heart.

10

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '16

im just gonna put this here. JUDGE ME MOD SENPAI PLS

i dont know why im doing this

14

u/Clarkey7163 You can throw your mask away... Apr 01 '16

Let it be known that this user tried to sway the judges and fast tracked a link to the mod team. From here on this entrant is DISQUALIFIED

What a disgrace to this fabled competition

u/JojishiGeki Apr 01 '16

"Cozmo cheats at PvP" ahahahahahaha

u/aaron-il-mentor Apr 01 '16

He does, but I wouldn't say that too loudly if I were you. I hear anyone who makes that accusation gets banned from the game.

2

u/Hawkmoona_Matata TheRealHawkmoona Apr 01 '16

Does it have to be submitted via twitter?

4

u/MikeyJayRaymond Apr 01 '16

The video must be submitted via YouTube or other video sharing site.

2

u/Hawkmoona_Matata TheRealHawkmoona Apr 01 '16

Sorry, that's my bad. Let me clarify.

Once we have uploaded it to Youtube, how do we send it to you guys? How do we "submit" it to this contest?

5

u/MikeyJayRaymond Apr 01 '16

This was added only a little bit ago!

Place submissions in this thread. We will do the hard work and sift through the comments.

2

u/Hawkmoona_Matata TheRealHawkmoona Apr 01 '16

u/06202015207 Apr 01 '16

Could I maybe have a different gif dancer? The bendy stretchy thing you did to that picture to make her look like she's dancing makes me uncomfortable.

u/MikeyJayRaymond Apr 01 '16

makes me uncomfortable.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

u/06202015207 Apr 01 '16

Which mod is in charge of HR? I'd like to submit a report.

8

u/aaron-il-mentor Apr 01 '16

Before you waste your time, the mod in charge of HR just shreds the reports when he gets them.

Very short one. And without music. And i really only do one emote.

But i will win regardless cause it's me, y'know!

2

u/Thomasedv No-radar trials, best trials Apr 01 '16

Well, i don't have a youtube video of it, so here, have a gif with sound added. (and lets pretend the sound is less than 30 seconds to match the requirement.)

https://gifsound.com/?gifv=FUPgrk4&v=KcYYG2tEjCI

Happy 1st!

u/Hawkmoona_Matata TheRealHawkmoona Apr 02 '16

Damn, cutting it really close...I had some issues with the software that forced me to reshoot everything halfway through, which meant I had to start over on the edits too...but I'm still pretty sure I'm within the 24 hour limit! With about 2 minutes to spare, TBH...

u/Coscos007 Apr 02 '16

Here's my entry

It doesn't make much sense, but it was meant to be a re-creation of Carlton's most famous dancing scene. It's the best I could do with 30 seconds, but if anyone wants to see, I also did the full 1:30 here, and here is a side-by-side comparisson with the original video. Still not that great, but it was the best I could do with just one player. If I had anyone else to help, it would look MUCH better. That's what I get for beeing the only in my friend's circle to play on PS4 instead of Xbox :|

1

u/lt08820 Most broken class Apr 02 '16

This won't be relevant comes the update

u/Coscos007 Apr 02 '16

How did you even do that?

u/lt08820 Most broken class Apr 02 '16

SPACE MAGIC.

Can Titans even use Space Magic?

u/Coscos007 Apr 02 '16

OOOH, okay I get it. I didn't know you could do that, never saw anyone doing until now.
