Oh come on I'm not trying to get on you Pwolf, or anyone else, I'm just trying to exemplify a better contest. I hope you can understand where I'm trying to come from. Of course Michael and the judges aren't perfect but many of us were hoping that judging wouldn't come as a issue this year with the videos. Sorry if I sound a little blunt, I know part of that has something to do with me not getting in (I'll admit) :P. There were some amazing entries that I was surprised in not seeing, so I'll be upset if I'm not blown away by the contest this year.

GAHHHH!!! no DBZ AGAIN this year :cry: i blame you troy :evil:

and no Mad World? and no Glorious Dawn?? ok nic, those are gonna need some serious air time during your show.


Haha, I hear you. Out of my entries, I was pretty sure "Hurricane" would have been the least likely to make it. But either way, I'm totally psyched to be in the contest!! :D Congratulations on your entry making it to the finals!! :awesome:

DigitalPanther wrote:To clarify on the whole trailer belonging in fun/ova idea.
The way I personally view the amended rule.
If you take the complete soundtrack from a trailer...sayyyyy the star trek movie trailer, then use that as your audio bed and edit your video to fit it. To fun/ova it goes.


If you edit your video in such a way that it looks like a trailer/promotion for the series in question but isn't using an actual trailer track...well, isn't that one of the points of an AMV? To promote the piece you are editing around? Using the argument that if it looks like a trailer it must belong in fun/ova then any video which drops the name of the anime being used during it qualifies potentially as a trailer and should be shuffled. It wasn't the intent to be that draconian about it.


Not necessarily :P

"If if looks like a trailer/promotion..."
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.
If a video has no substance other than saying "these are the characters...and this is the name of the show?" then isn't that a trailer?

If you take this video for example:


It's one of my much older videos >.> but none the less, it's audio that isn't from a trailer, but I made it to be a trailer.

Here is another example of a parody.



While it is a direct parody from the original op, it is a stylized piece of work with no point other than showing the characters and the "title." Just like the Big O video that had a couple quotes thrown in too >.>

DigitalPanther wrote:
In my mind the whole point of an amv was to promote interest in the title being used. If you can make something look like it actually belonged in the series, be it an opener or trailer, especially with just music? You have done exactly what a majority of amvs are supposed to do. In my opinion anyway.


AMVs can be a great means of discovery for new anime and music... but they're not solely about advertising for a specific show or artist. It would make me incredibly sad if they were. :< There goes all the creativity in the world....


DigitalPanther wrote:Yue,
I try very hard not to take your comments as personal attacks. It isn't the method more the delivery that gets my ire. Its a difference in personalities. While I can respect being direct with minimal fluff. There are ways to get your point across and be direct while not making it sound like a personal attack. And no, I am not saying become a sycophant. BTW fyi, your video got the highest score in it's category.

-DP


Sorry, but I've always just felt that unless someone specifically says "Hey, *insert name here* stop being stupid. You've done this wrong and this, etc..." then it's kinda hard to confuse someone saying "Oh, hey...I think there might be a problem considering this rule appears to be ignored. What's up with this guys?" >.> I dunno, I guess I just think that personal attacks would look a bit more personal and not so much, "Hey, WTF?"...

And yay for scores? >.> I don't really see the need to include that, but neat to know I guess?

If people are reading my posts as "personal assaults," then I recommend to do what our parents told us growing up and "be the bigger person." If you'll read past the "horrible assault," then you may see that I really do have something to say >.>
