Contest Idea

Now I have an idea for a contest, and I was wondering what you guys think.

Well I need a video intro for my video tutorials on my YouTube Channel, obviously having the intro describe what my tutorials are about, and if you watch my videos you'll see what their about and it's about free software, customization, tips, tricks, how to's, video production, designing, etc: etc: and I'd like to have it something like that.

I also am debating on having it either like that or having it say Speed (via my nickname) and my website, made in some sort of 3d video, of some nice visual effects for a good looking tutorial, and Andrew Cramer has great tutorials using After Effects on making some pretty dope looking intros, and effects, to show you what I'm looking into/for, however I want the intro to be made ENTIRELY in Free Open Source Software (Even though Wax 2.0 isn't open source, I will accept that being used) Additionally I want something COMPLETELY UNIQUE, meaning nothing that has already been made like the 20th Century Fox Intro for example, just something completely unique and different, yet great visual effects, and very appealing to the eye.

Now I have an old (and when I say old I mean really old) Gateway 2000 Solo laptop here preloaded with Windows 98, (specs are terrible, but were great back then) I have a spare internal IDE hard drive for it, so if you wanna use lets say TinyCore Linux with it you could, but keep in mind the most recent, and popular operating systems now like Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, etc: won't run on this, cause of the old hardware inside it, but for thoughs that may really really need a computer this would be a great help for them.

Also I'll findout if you downloaded a project and edited it or recreated a result on a tutorial for this.

Anyway do you guys think that's a good idea for a contest??? (NOTE: It's still an idea)

Yeah, I also like the idea of gaining personal benefit by simply giving credits lol. Yes, it's a good idea, and don't forget to add a badge.

The contest will be for my YouTube users, but as for here all the winner would be able to get is credits at this point, unless I can find a prize for a runner up.
