While it's a really neat videoOfficial AX Rules wrote: A parody video is a video in which editing has been used to create something other then a music video, and the music involved acts only as a soundtrack or background element. Videos of this nature can look like music videos, such as Commercials, Trailers, opening/closing themes to TV shows, and more, but they focus on subjects other then the music and video relationship. Videos found to be edited in this format and not submitted to the “Fun” category will either not be accepted into the Anime Expo® Anime Music Video Contest or be re-categorized and moved into the “Fun” category at the discretion of the Special Judges in consultation with the Anime Expo® Anime Music Video Contest Directors. Any decisions by this body to re-categorize a video in this manner are final and not guaranteed. So if you want so submit a parody or original concept video to the contest, we strongly suggest you submit it to the “Fun” category. That’s what it is there for.
I mean, how does this video:
Majorly differ from the Big O video?
I'm really not trying to be a bitch, both videos are of great quality....but...Kevin got disqualified, and yet this video gets in with the same rule in place?
I'm not trying to get him DQ'd I'm just trying to point out the lack of categorization by judges and coordinators.
Not cool guys.

"I'm really not trying to be a bitch"[But]...you know anytime someone starts a sentence like that that means they actually are right?
The "Dial D" question was brought up at the judging. Put to the judges, they voted to keep it in the category it was entered in. That coupled with the previous cries of "Now they have a category to move a video they don't want to win best of show to." may have had some influence but I can't be sure.
Also, the year wedding rings was submitted was well before I was running the contest so I had nothing to do with that. I was not even involved in the contest at that time beyond pressing play on the dvd player.
In regards to Incepolis, please look at the video before you point fingers. Its an AMV in the traditional sense of the word. so yes. You are stirring things up needlessly in this case.
I'm just sayin...

Nikki and I have already been discussing the idea for scrapping the rules entirely and re-writing them from the ground up. There are alot of , what I consider, unnecessary rules and specifications from a time when linear tape was more the standard than digital submissions. The rules were written while the Dodd's ran the contest. We have tried to adjust to fit the changing time and technologies. It has gotten to the point where the rules just need to be scrapped and totally rewritten. So, we are very seriously considering doing just that.

I'm not trying to stir up shit. I could, but I'm not.
It would help you guys save face >.>
THIS IS ME TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.
Like I said, it's a good video and I don't want it DQ'd. It's just in the wrong category.

It is not my job to look at a video as someone enters it and say " Oh hey whoa there cochise...you don't have enough effects to enter this here AMTV-Pro category." That would be me exerting my opinion and bias into the contest. I very deliberately keep my fingers out of that pie in all but the most extreme of circumstances to prevent becoming that which I despise (the previous contest directors whom I relieved).
The calling video you refer to is a good video. Is it Pro? That's not for >ME< to decide. The editor entered it there. There were one or two that I looked at and thought "Ummm yeah why is this here?" but if someone thinks their video is "pro" and they want to enter then they are welcome to do so. It will be and is judged accordingly.

LOL yeah I had to go back and look at your form as well. You have Ryan Molina in the section of how you want your name listed...that's why it is listed that way. I thought maybe you had an extended dyslexia.
