The Miyako challenge :
For 2011, our mascot Miyako wants to celebrate the opening of Cape & Kimono to other genres in addition to the comic and anime. She invites you to show your talent for mixing genres. Using scenes from anime, comics and video games, Miyako invites you to submit a ACSFHFMV (Anime-Comic-Sci-Fi-Horror-Fantasy Music Video). Who will be brave enough to attempt an assembly comprising all these genres together?
Submitting:
The FTP server is now available!
here is the method to do if you use filezilla (I recommend it because it has been validated in this way, and sorry if i explain it bad):
host address: ftp.hyberia.ca
[fast connection]
in the "remote site" section on the right, add "amv" after the root "/". (except the quotes), this will lead you to the amv folder.
transfer in this folder, a file (preferably zipped) containing these following :
your amv-no identification (no outro, intro, name of studio, etc ... for the judging)
your amv-complete (the one who will be braodcasted)

name or artist of the soundtrack:
name / the sound / music:
names of the video sources used (if more than 3, write "various")
If you have problems with the FTP, ask in Private Message or via the forum post but the methods shown above should be more than sufficient. in the worst case, you can send me your zipped file from a download link(megaupload,rapidshare,mediafire,etc...), sent in my org private message box, or to my e-mail: barcode_error@hotmail.com ( don't be shy, it's not a bot X) )
Thank you for your understanding and I hope for your participation.Hope my english was ok, i'm not used to write such long and technical speeches.
