Telarapedia:VIP Beta Contest 1

Welcome to the first contest on the Telarapedia to win a Rift: Planes of Telara VIP beta key and other prizes!

This is a chance to create your own fan-made video trailer for the game and share it with the world. Everyone has seen movie and game trailers in the past, and this is your opportunity to do something similar. We won't place any limits on what you can do, creatively, in the video - show us your talent and passion for the game.

When you create the video, try to think of the main features of the game and what you think would attract people who know very little about Rift.

Instructions
Maximum of one video per entrant.


 * Before you send us a link to your video, please make it unlisted on Youtube or Vimeo until asked to make it public.
 * Add a frame at the end which says, "This video submitted to the Telarapedia's VIP Beta Contest".
