UPDATE: Our trailer for the ROBsessed Holiday Video Challenge :)
It's beginning to look a lot like ROBmas!
Robert Pattinson is so talented and so are his fans! It's the most wonderful time of the year and we want to let it snow, let it snow, let it snow with Robert Pattinson holiday videos! So fire up your computers and grab those amazing Rob pictures and/or video clips to put together a festive RobHoliday video to celebrate the season.
Entering the ROBsessed Holiday Video Challenge is a chance for you to share your gift with our readers but also win cash prizes! All you have to do is make a Robert Pattinson video capturing the RobHoliday Season spirit and you can win $100 from us! The runner up will win $50 and third place will get $25! The winner will be decided by your fellow ROBsessors.
Official Rules:
- The video must be about Robert Pattinson.
- The video should be 90 seconds at the minimum and 4 minutes at the maxium.
- The video must have a minimum 5 second banner at the beginning and end that says: www.robsessedpattinson.com RobHoliday Video Challenge Entry (VERY IMPORTANT that you do this or your video will be disqualified)
- The videos should be posted on YouTube and the link to video for the contest entry should be sent to robsessedgiveaway@gmail.com. If your video is restricted in some countries (which YouTube will tell you) then you can upload your video on Daily Motion.
- The prize for the contest ($100 for the winner, $50 for the runner up, $25 for the 3rd place) will be sent to the winner via Paypal. It's the winners' responsibility to get a Paypal account. ROBsessed will pay the transfer fee but any charges incurred on the winner's end will belong to the winner. The winner can also choose to receive a gift card from Amazon or Fandango. (All prizes are paid by ROBsessed, there are no sponsors.)
- The entries will be numbered in the order they are received. After Dec. 20th, a post will be made on www.robsessedpattinson.com . The order of the videos will be decided by a random number drawing. ROBsessed readers will vote on the video they like in the poll we'll post. The voting will be open for 24 hours. The video that receives the highest number of votes will proceed to the next round. (ROBsessed will screen the videos before putting them up and reserves the right to decline.)
- Last day to send in the video entries is December 20th 11:59pm PST. The winners will be chosen by ROBsessedPattinson.com visitors and will be announced on Dec 25th

Good luck everyone - I dont have any talent but certainly enjoy looking at those of you who do have so please share with us and best wishes to you all xx
I´m very much looking forward to see them all :) I tis so much more personal if you know who made it..... I won´t participate this year because of lack of technical knowledge and time but I might train myself over the next year ;)
Whoa! "Don't have any talent"?!?! You,my dear, have talent no doubt about it!:D Your 'strong suit" just might not be video production.
I'm with you whence, might need a little more time to sort it out...........It sounds like serious competition !!!
Ahhh Thanks Y Muri - you are very kind - I just admire those who do those vid productions so brilliantly xx
It really interests me to learn it, sounds like something I would like but with my actual busy RL it would be way too much....
I'm interested too but still looking for a programme that will do what I want that I can manage !!!
Do you have a pc or mac? There is a progrmme on my mac but I have yet to figure it out. I guess, I need a few hours in a row which I don´t have at the moment. I plan to ask my doughter, she probably can explain it to me.
I have a pc and sort of done one but just with photos !! wanted some video clips in it though, really that's what I need to learn
When You say 'holiday' video are you meaning specifically christmas? what about just winter holiday season? Does it have to specify a religious holiday or can it be holiday in the sense of a winter solstice/winter fun time?
Also--how does one get photos and gifs of Rob to download, to use on One True Media for making videos? Also--how does one get a video onto YouTube?
Thanks for any answers and help.
I made a short movie with movie maker on my pc a few years ago but without music.It was easy to figure out and you can download it for free.
you too? i might chicken out too. lol
OMG that sounds like real business. I'm already overwhelmed with the videos i want to choose. i have 100 minute. how should i manage 4? and my song is 5:50. so difficult but i didn't expect such a great price either. mmm, not sure. i'm kind of a chicken.
But you have mastered the hard bit lol !!! I was thinking of all the people who usually make these are so good and with cash prize......
Come on Mizz, make us proud, I know you can do it, you already proofed your talent :)))
The video challenge is holiday season in general. People tend to use Christmas songs but you can interpret "holiday season" the way you want to creatively. I'm not familiar enough with One True Media but to upload a video to YouTube, you would have to have an account - something you already have built into a gmail account. Once you're signed in to YouTube, you would click the upload button at the top of the page and select the video file on your computer. I'll research a little more on One True Media is I remember later this evening.
that's what i've been using !!
oh yeah? i thought you for a mac kind of girl...;)
with these small avis I sure need some glasses soon...;)
I've just noticed Mizz has added a hat to her Avi too !!!
That´s why I was confusing you two....:D
OK--Thank you very much:-) THis sounds very complicated--I would have to figure out how to get the photos so I can use them in a video (I managed to make a video for my own music, but cannot figure out how to get photos of Rob the same way I got photos for my video); make the video (match the pace of the photos to the music); figure out how to get the video as a file on my computer so I can get it onto YouTube...phew!! The last time I did a robsessed video, i finally gave up and sent it to Gozde who somehow got it on here! I am not going to depend on that again, so I will give it a try (I have a good idea, I feel) and if it doesn't work, I give up.
Solas, I would love to see the vid you made. is it still on youtube?
thank you Tink so much for helping and caring and putting so much love and energy into the blog. the competition is really exciting and a good way to show our love. for the blog and Rob. not sure if i mange to participate but i try. love you lady!
If you mean the one I made for RObsessed holiday contest, that Gozde saved, i have no idea where it is! I don't have it! If you mean the one I made for one of my own songs, I never put it on youtube. If you want to see it, please email me and I will try to send you the link to where it is.
No, you won't ... come on, we want to see something :-)
That's why I thought I change my Avi to something bigger... just Rob's beautiful eyes ....aber wem erzähl ich das :-)))

Wow!!! How did you find it??? :-D I'm grinning here. It was my first attempt at making a video; I know it isn't good, but it still makes me smile. :-D Thanks!
And this is a really beautiful snippet you got there! Love it, Olive :-)
Don't chicken out.....you did the hard bit....you let us see your first one :-) It was really good and now we are all eager for more. Go for it !!!!
So looking forward to everything that is coming up :D
Go for it Mizzz.. You were great the first time. I am eagerly awaiting your next video, my little Diva!!!
This is off-topic mostly, but connected in that holidays are coming and I think of those we haven't heard from in a while. Does anyone know how Lynn from Washington State is doing? She had been homeless, and then was diagnosed with cancer. I haven't seen her post in a very long time. Anyone know? Hope she is well and can come back here. Even though I am not posting much, I do lurk and post when I feel it is appropriate and safe, or at least out of politeness to most who comment or reply to me. And for the record, in case anyone is listening and perhaps wishes to give me a nice Chanukah present, I still hate and resent this format.
Would you believe me if I said that I stalk you, and had saved your video, as well as all of your comments? No? OK, then, I'll tell you. I went to the upper left corner of the blog, typed "holiday" in the search bar, and found it in the third post that showed up. I'd seen it there recently, so I knew what I was looking for. I think I saw it initially by clicking on one of those "You might also like" links that are under every post.
Considering I've been physically stalked and cyber-stalked, i would have believed it except that those who stalk generally do not admit to it... So you made the effort to help, out of the goodness of your heart, and I appreciate that so much. I didn't know my first attempt still existed. :-) thanks again for your kindness. :-)
C'mon Mizz get your finger out woman !!
hope you give it a go and thanks for the compliment :))
good luck solas and i know the feeling. i made a video for the 2009 competition and i didn't advance to the next round but it was so fun and felt good. Robdicted gave a hint on how to find Rob pics. if you use our search feature, you might find specific pics you want and can save.
sorry it took me so long but when Rob is involved it can take all day long.
LOL... doesn't it take all day and night usually ;-P
Don't tell me you've finished your vid already??
yep, but they wouldn't let me. you see Nuzz, can't let her hanging....mmm, don't know ;-)
Who's THEY?? LOL... so your vid is really finished because I had a look at my movie maker program and it will certainly take me a LONG time to get a video done though I'd REALLY like to try
Thanks--I did search (I was looking for the gif or at least photo of Rob 'dancing'--from one of the Twilight films, where he kind of shakes a bit with his fists--I think he was standing next to 'Emmett.') anyway-- I cannot do gifs on One True Media, only jpeg, but I cannot locate that even as a photo.
A suggestion Tink -Is it possible to put PPV Rob movies on this blog whereby we can login and watch with our friends here maybe chat while watching 'it will be one bigg drool fest '-but I also know it will be hard with the copyright issues and other legalities but something if achievable will be a real treat !!!I know this is not related to the post but its going to be hoildays and we can wish right !!!
Argh, so sorry, poor choice of joke on my part! I think you know it was a joke, but I'll reiterate just to be emphatic! That being the case, I wonder why you choose to use your own image as your avi? Mightn't it be safer to pick something that can't be connected to you personally?
Anyway, the dancing gif that you spoke about is on the blog:
http://www robsessedpattinson com/2010/12/caption-robert-pattinson-to-win-special_04.html
It's also on youtube http://www youtube com/watch?v=eVsC1UUf2o8
Presumably you've got a way to download videos from youtube if you want to use in that format.
If you want to save the gif as a regular jpeg, you'll lose the motion. To do this, go to the link on the blog, right click, Save Image As. Then open in Paint and simply save as file format jpg. Paint comes with Windows. Select All Programs, Accessories, Paint.
wow! thanks! I've heard of 'paint' but didn't realize I have it! I will have to look into it. WOuild it enable me to make snow come down on photos for my video? Or to place photos of Rob onto scenery? I can picture what I want to do but have no idea how to do it.
As for my avi-- the guy who stalked me stalked me before I came to robsessed, which was the first time I used an avi, so I felt it didn't make a difference. I also find it weird to have something else represent me, especially a photo of an actor; it makes me feel like I've lost my identity and have been absorbed into the borg. ;-) I like people to know at least a bit when they chat with me here that it is myself, a real person. But the bottom line is, I have been stalked and found even without the avi; it doesn't make a difference. People who are nasty and/or sick will find me (or any person) anyway.
YW, Solas. Paint is a very rudimentary drawing tool, does basic shapes and lines, so no, I don't think it would be too useful for your video effects. I'm guessing your best bet to easily make a video is Windows Movie Maker. It's free from Microsoft. It may be on your PC already. (Like most PC stuff, I've never tried it myself, I just know of it.) I found this for you - how to do a snow effect http://www youtube com/watch?v=unfpjkH_1mQ.
Thanks so much! You are so helpful and kind to look things up! I don't know when I will get a chance to look at these things, or even if I will master any of this stuff, or even if I will finish the video, but I appreciate your help in case I get the time to try it all!
