[Dn@]

Hey there !

After more than a year, Soul's Team Iron Chef is back for it's 8th edition.
Remember last year's winning team was the H.B.F.S team : Oro$hi, Creed, Nyala et Angelface and now they are organising the contest !

Since we're not gonna change rules that made their proves, we're keeping the last contest's concept... But we're going to add something to it...
Because this year you're not going to be able to hide behind your team-mates anymore...


◄ TECHNICAL RULES :

DATES :

24/02/2012 (7pm GMT) au 27/02/2012 (00h00am GMT).
Like last year, you have 3 days to edit your video and the music pack will be given by the judges on day D.

◄ GENERAL CONCEPT :


The rules of the iron chef is to edit a video personnaly in 3 days following the rules below.
This year we're mostly keeping the same concept as in iron chef 7 with some minor changes so :

Everything is by 3 : You made a team of 3 amv makers, They are 3 different rankings (solo, team and category ranking), they are 3x2 category and the contest will be organised & judged by 3 judges (Creed, Nyala and Angelface)

But this year only 1 person will be the iron master, the winner of the SOLO RANKING !!
The iron-master gains the right to organise the Soul's Team Iron Chef 9 by it's rules.


PROCEDURE AND REGISTRATION :

The editors will have to register as a team of 3 person and only this way which mean that you CANNOT register alone.
Each of these 3 editors must choose one category within the 6 category that they want to edit.
Once they choosent their category they'll have 3 days from the time the music are give to edit an amv...


RANKING MODE :

- SOLO RANKING : Basicely the ranking for solo warriors who will make the best amv from all of the videos in each categories mixed ?
The winner of this category is the IRON MASTER !

- TEAM RANKING : Who will be the best team of 3 ?
This ranking is the average of each editors results from the team they are in, and maybe the iron master could be in the worst team ?

- CATEGORY RANKING : Action, Romance, Upbeat etc...
You think you're the best in your style ? Prove it on the pitch !

THE CONTEST'S CATEGORIES :

- Action : Dynamic clips, fight scenes, hard style, Shonens.. You know what i'm talking about
- Fun : Funny clips, Cute stuff, Parody ... Make us laugh !!
- Dance/Upbeat : Disco, techno, nostromo style various... Dancing time !!
- Psychedelic/Horror : Scary clips, Weirdo stuff... Artistic maybe ?
- Romance : It can be either good or bad but it must be made with love :3... Fuck it kill this bitch !
- Atmosphere : Amv's about the world, nature, Amv's that makes you wanna fly and feel the atmosphere ... It's new so i'll give some example : (Hello world- Oro$hi, Earth Guardian- Ation, Solex - West...)

[-angelface-]

Here we are finally !

So, this is the first contest where i'm a coordinator and juge, and i really hope that there will be lot of international people joing us
That will be fun, beside the rules are quiet simple, and can be appropriated for everyone

If you need anything, or ask any question, you can PM me, Nyala or Creed

I remember angelface mentioning the Iron Chef event. But here are some questions:

Duration of the clip: This will be set by the organizers or the participants choose the duration?

Also: WHat if in the case an author chooses a category, f.example Fun, but by judging the clip, it's more for a Drama. The clip will be judged as the category chosen? or will it be changed to the category it fits?

[Diegao]

Well well, just a question: in case of a drop, will be allowed a substitute in the team? (obviously respecting the deadline)
And will be allowed a change of the genre choice, among the team's members?

[-angelface-]

Duration of the clip: This will be set by the organizers or the participants choose the duration?

Minimum : 2mn

Also: WHat if in the case an author chooses a category, f.example Fun, but by judging the clip, it's more for a Drama. The clip will be judged as the category chosen? or will it be changed to the category it fits?

If an authos chooses a fun categorie, he must choose a music from the "Fun pack", and his clip will be judges as a "Fun clip" ...So it depends on the music that he chooses
Note that, you can change your initial categorie once you listen to the musics proposed...maybe at first you wanted to be on the Action category, but you find an interesting music on the Dramatic category ...etc

Well well, just a question: in case of a drop, will be allowed a substitute in the team? (obviously respecting the deadline)

Yep the rules allowed this ( even if it's one day before the deadline ...or even the day of deadline)
And if there won't be a substitue, than the score of your third "missing" person's team will be 0 ( and of course you'll lose lot of points )
Be careful ! Always have a "plan B" xD

And will be allowed a change of the genre choice, among the team's members?

Yep it's allowed too, as i explained to TritioAFB, once you listen to the musics you can made your definitive choice
