PSA: Calling All EVE Online Filmmakers, Show What Makes EVE Unique!

December 4, 2014

Here at CCP, we’ve been incredibly humbled to witness the reaction to the latest trailer for EVE Online, “This is EVE”. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, feel free to check out the uncensored version here!

Our goal with “This is EVE” was to show what it actually feels like to play EVE, and the action and reaction that goes on during gameplay by showcasing the recorded experiences of players during real events in game.

Now we’d like you guys to show us, and the rest of the word, what makes EVE unique, and what makes you keep coming back for more. We want you guys to make your own EVE trailers!

We’ve prepared some prizes for you, and we’d like to encourage you all to to take part. Prize packages include stacks of PLEX, signed copies of EVE: The Second Decade Collector’s Editon and twelve month subscriptions to Adobe Creative Cloud Complete.

A panel of CCP employees including Developers, members of the Community Team and members of the Cinematics Team will be selecting the best entries, which will be showcased at Fanfest 2015, in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The top three videos will be screened in front of a live audience at the CCP Presents keynote on Saturday, March 21st 2015 and their creators will win a fabulous set of prizes.

By now you’ve probably seen the “This is EVE (2014)” trailer that we published a couple weeks ago, but if not, go check out the uncensored version on our YouTube page. Our goal for “This is EVE” was to show what it actually feels like to play EVE Online, by showcasing real players doing real things in the game. Judging by the number of views the trailer has received on YouTube, the reaction has been amazing.
