I thought only 2 were allowed to make the cut! Lucky!

Not cool guys.

Follow your own rules

The way I read (and rechecked the rules) is you could techinically get all 4 of your submissions in up to a max of 2 per category. 4 being the max number of submissions and rule 3b stating 2 per creator per category will be allowed in the finals. So even if you sent in 4 really awesome action ones you couldn't get more than 2 into action (But theoretically if they were really awesome the other 2 could both be placed into pro.) At least I hope that was the actual meaning of that rule and not just some kind of error :/ I really would hate to wake up tommorow and find I'm not in Drama or Pro anymore or something

You're comparing apples and oranges...
because....Kevin got DQ'ed when James and Katy were still running the contest.
With Michael and Nikki running the contest is it COMPLETELY different. Not only is this a different year but the contest is run by different people.
Any questions or reasoning you might have or want to ask about why Kevin's video didn't make it way back in the day, but others did/vice versa, needs to directed towards James and Katy.
Micahel and Nikki weren't running the AMV show at that point in time.

In defense of my own video...
I believe I edited my video in such a way that the focus is the relation between the music and video.
Keep in mind, the whole point of the 'parody' video rules section is to stop from 'parodies'. Meaning, slapping "The Hangover 2" Trailer track to Golden Boy should NOT be submitted to Comedy, but Fun category. The rules are not there to discourage creation of original work that might fall on the fine lines. It is there to discourage blatant parody videos from being in Comedy. (not even removal from contest, just re-category shuffling).
Here is a great example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tS-gd9eT30
Lord of the Rings Trailer music to Totoro. The video was made not to MOCK the original but to make something NEW.
You have to try to understand the semantics of the rule.
===
And of course, as Michael said, the rules are pretty old.

@techninja did you get a chance to add ep 11 or 12 in there? or was it too close to the deadline?

Radical_Yue wrote:But regardless of how you feel you edited your video, would you call it a trailer in any way, shape or form? The rule specifically states that trailers should go into the Fun/OVA category. It's what it was made for.
Radical_Yue wrote:Hell, I'd say that's where the Totoro video should go :/ Regardless of what it was trying to do, audio from a trailer was used!
Radical_Yue wrote:As far as I'm concerned, unless they're syncing to the music IN the trailer and ignoring the spoken dialogue completely, it's still a trailer/parody.
Radical_Yue wrote:I understand that the rules are old. That's pretty damn obvious. My beef is the fact that the rules weren't just left alone, they were altered. Attention was brought to these specific set of rules and then they were changed to suit the new category and give a place for these videos.
And then the rule was ignored.
