Video-Stealing from a-m-v.org to go to Cons

Postby RubyHatchet » Thu Feb 20, 2003 10:38 am

Hi! I was hoping to post my Hellsing amv, and get some feedback on it before I take the video to ACEN 2003, but I've heard horror stories of people taking their videos to a con and having it disqualified because some jerk downloaded the video from a-m-v.org and brought it as their own video.

But I guess it all depends on how much it happens... so... how much does this happen? Should I wait until after ACEN to post my video or can I safely post it without worrying *too* much?

Sankyu!

Haven't really heard of this happening. If you put a bumper on the begining or ending, there is even less of a chance as the fool who would do such a thing probably wouldn't know how to remove them.

Essentially a bumper is a title card placed at the start or end of a video which states who made it. Some are as simple as a bitmap image, while some are animated with swirling lights and such.

Theatrical Movies often start with bumpers introing the studios and production houses involved in the movies development.

ahh... well, I got a pretty good one at the end, but I just left four seconds of black at the beginning. Should I probably add something?

only if you want too :p


Really vid stealing is overrated. There have only been a couple actual cases. Though I haven't been to a Con, I've heard a *few* stories of people seeing vids that were on here advertised at the con as being done by someone else.

But it doesn't happen often.

Post an announcement in the Announcement forum when you get it up and running.

I am sure many will see it. If they leave a opinion is another matter :?


You can always try to pimp it off in the chat room as well :wink: Seems like everyone does it.

erm, one more thing--where do I send my PayPal payment for the site pledge? And once it has been received, ...where can I upload my video? Does it take a few days?

RubyHatchet: you wont be able to upload your video immediately, as the golden donut wont be able to start until phade has recieved enough donations to cover the cost for 3 months. It's about half way there right now.

eek! Poor Phade! I had thought he was going to have enough donations back in January! nyarr.. that sucks.

But still, is there a PayPal address to send it to, or am I just waiting for someone to tell me to pay?

It's not all that hard to remove frames but it'll keep some theives away.

Well... although I've never actaully seen it happen, you could wait till after the contest deadline for Acen (which is april 16th), then premiere your video on the org. That way, nobody will be able to turn yours in an claim it as thiers. Also, if you made the video using a high quality source, make sure to submit your video to the con with HQ compression such as MPEG2. That way, if someone happened to steal your video by downloading it, there will be a clear quality difference and people will know that you were the real editor. yep...
