Includes two photos-Magnustra(left)&Seph.

MMOSITE: Did you think you¡®ll win the contest before you get the prize?
Magnustra: Nope, because I was getting only a few votes compared to the others...It was a big surprise when tuesday, primo, sandy1, Cryztal voted for me as Best Boss Movie in the forum. Thanks a lot, guys!
Darrick: Yes, based on the previously submitted videos of some players.. frankly, we know that our entry (Imagine me without you/ CO-maker of Lonely Hearts Club/Co-Maker of Mages 101 ) will land on a certain spot. and it did thank god. and thanks for those who support.
Seph: Nope i wasnt expecting to win the contest because there are a lot of good movies in the contest.Im happy that i won again in your contest.

MMOSITE: How did you make such a nice movie?
Magnustra: What motivated you to make it,or where/how did I was in a GP with my guildmates in Exile killing Bongbos when it just struck me to take some footage of our party...since we were four and each of us have unique skills, I was thinking of the Justice League sort of story, 4 super heroes out to fight monsters!
Darrick: Actually this is my first try to create such movies. without an existing knowledge in movie creation. so you can easily find mistakes and some errors by means of topography and subtitling >.< the one who motivated me is my evil hun <3 LOL
Seph: I created a lot of movies for this contest cause i find it fun and interesting it helps me draw out my creativity in terms of movie making.I conceptualizes different things and tried to experiment in creating my movies ,what motivated me was the fullfilment to see my own movie after i finish creating it.

MMOSITE: Have you met any difficulty when you making the movie?
Magnustra: It was hard directing other people since sometimes you have lags and DC. And you really have to take a lot of footage and do a lot of takes...whewww, I never thought it was going to be like a real movie...but unlike the movies there were no stunt doubles so when a monster attack when worst my actors gets killed (hope they were insured ;) that¡®s really bad, but overall it was fun.
Darrick: Directing.. hmm major problem here is the process of ommanding the other actor what to do >.< it takes time specially if youre on a different location. Imagine me without you video creation takes on a computer shop so a hassle free directing.
another problem of mine is subtitling and topography. oops i forgot did you know that sometimes im having a hard time uploading videos to mmosite server >.<
Seph: I encountered a lot of difficulties of course theres no doubt about it from taking shots of your own and cooperation of your actors in game and in editing the movie.etc

MMOSITE: Any suggestion for our future contest?
Magnustra: For prizes I have lots to suggest, like lvl 80 armors that are fully upgraded, crystal weapons...rups lots of it. As for a contest...an amazing race, 24 hours playathon might be great but the mechanics and how to do it ...I¡®ll leave it up to you...if you like the idea. Sort of searchnig for an item plus giving clues and direction where to go next.
Darrick: How about a Tantra Movie Contest but a real-life footage not in-game footage :P Or a tantra fan-art competition...
Seph: Something came up to my mind when i read this question an artwork contest something like drawing contest with different categories and no more voting process let the judges be the one to decide on the winners.

MMOSITE: Any new ideas about the contest, and any more things you wanna say??
Magnustra: New ideas, I just mentioned above...things to say...hmmm just want tothank the contest organizers especially Adam for being patient to all us contestants re our complaints, to ABS CBN thanks for the prizes...that¡®s about it...well just one more, special thanks to Leelominai/Susu, my online Tantra friend, whom I really miss seeing her in the game.
By the way, I¡®m magnustra, lvl 70+ druka, of the Blades of Destruction, hello to my loyal guildmates DarkZygo, SabreEdge, Cyberwis, and too Lord/Dongkoy, and to all of the players from Kriya...see you guys OL.
Darrick: Btw thanks to all those who support our videos.. to Cryztal the one who i put into stardome :P?I promise you¡®ll still be the star of my next movie if ever.. to ABS-CBN i hope next time youll be on time... that¡®s it :P
Seph: Poster making contest something that gives chance to players to express themselves in creating artworks and the winner`s entry will be used by tantra in promoting the game=). I would like to thank all the people who supported me in creating the movie their cooperation my frends online and of course my guildmates in diyana Hale Seraphim and Dragoons.To my family too lol.
