Re: How to win AMV contests and alienate people
Thread is clearly written from the perspective of an AMV creator that has been making AMVs longer than 5 years ago and may be on the verge of retirement. Cntrl-f "swag" and I found no occurrences. Clearly the OP is not aligned with the new breed. =p
New breed methodology:
Dubstep + popular source + swag = win !

I'll agree to the use of memes. That's what I used to vote for when I was a younger. -_- Humor almost always wins. The Romance video that got me to laugh was the one I voted for then lol

That's because Avatar videos are usually nothing but Avatar.
If you read just about any contest rules, as long as a video is a certain percentage of anime then it's allowed. My Little Pony is the hot thing right now so it makes sense for it be used quite often.
However, a shitty video with ponies just thrown in for the lulz will more than likely not do well in a contest. It's up to the editor to do a good job integrating the two obviously different sources. And if it's a good video that follows the rules, by all means, let it in.

Re: How to win AMV contests and alienate people
I get that percent rules there, but at a certain point it's just an FMV and not an AMV. I figure you'll disagree, and neither of us will budge so it's pointless to continue exchange of words on this, but I feel it strays from the point of being an ANIME Music Video at a certain point. There are FMV contests for that reason.Radical_Yue wrote:l33tmeatwad wrote:Yeah, despite Avatar being taboo years ago, Ponies is somehow exempt from the same criticism/rules by coordinators...double standards goooooo......Mr Pilkington wrote:When in doubt: Ponies
