The competition deadline will end on May 11th at 11:59 UTC, since the exact time zone was not previously announced.

We remind you that it is still possible to submit videos after the deadline, but before the end of the demonstration phase, under the following conditions:

1) They will not be eligible for prizes; if such a video places in a prize position, the prize will be passed to the next contestant by score. However, they will still be judged and included in the final results.

2) They will be published immediately so as not to prolong the demonstration phase.

Videos that did not pass the technical check and were resubmitted more than 48 hours after the deadline will also fall under these conditions.

Author's comment: Descriptions are a social construct.

I finished Sekiro for the first time in 2024 and it became one of my favorite games ever. When I heard this song, I immediately thought that it would be very fun to combine it with Sekiro. I hope that this little tribute entertains you and inspires some of you to give this awesome game a try. It may look and act tough, but beneath the stoic demeanor it hides an endearingly goofy personality and an incredibly cool – and sometimes even hilarious – experience. Hope you enjoy, and remember: "Hesitation is defeat."

В 2024-ом году впервые прошла Секиро, которая стала одной из моих любимых игр. Когда услышала эту песню, сразу же подумала, что может выйти веселая штука. В итоге получился такой вот трибьют. Несмотря на суровый вид игры, а так же всеобщие завывания о ее сложности, это на самом деле очень крутое, динамичное и, местами, весьма комичное путешествие. Так что надеюсь, что клип сумеет развлечь и вызвать интерес к первоисточнику. Приятного просмотра и помните: "Колебаться — значит проиграть".

I had the chance to participate in the Battle Arena organized by Soul's Team this year, so for the occasion, we're bringing out the cars, some serious tuning, and a VHS overlay for a JDM-style edit!
It was a great chance to experiment with Blender —this is the first time I’ve put out anime/3D hybrid footage, and it was pretty fun to make (less so to render…).

Hope you enjoy it, and see you next time!
