Dazzling new talent in Habbowood trailer recreation competition!
Last week has been buzzing around the 2011 Academy Awards, and to celebrate the best films of
2010 we launched
Habbowood, a
movie trailer reproduction competition in
Habbo! To help our users create as creative
films as possible, we launched a Habbowood furni line, which includes e.g. theater curtains, a
movie projector, a popcorn machine, and, off course, a black limo. And that was all the help we
gave them, and quite frankly, the quality of the trailers we’ve received has totally blown us away!
The
competition
idea was to recreate a trailer of ones favorite movie of 2010 in Habbo. Throughout the
competition we’ve seen astounding ‘Habbonized’ productions including for instance a trailer of the
movie
Inception,
Black Swan and
Paranormal
Activity, to mention just a few. As the competition was launched in all Habbo countries, we saw
various different versions of the trailers in many countries.
Besides fame, the winning directors have received a full set of the Habbowood furni as a
prize, and all the actors got a badge for their input in the trailer. Huge congratulations to all
the winners of the competition around the world!
This is not the first time we’ve searched for new director talent in Habbo –
the
last Habbowood was held in 2007. In that campaign users were asked to produce movie scripts
from ready-made building blocks, and boy they did: Habbos created over 700,000 animated short
films!
Habbowood 2011 continues with different activities taking place in the countries, ranging
from a film poster creation competition to movie scene recreation competitions.
Here are a few top trailers from the latest competition:
