The AWA 2013 Video Review Thread -- Final Voting RIGHT NOW!

[JaddziaDax]

for the nomination stage I voted very generally/broadly for parody... for all categories actually... I already knew which videos I'd be voting for in finals...

The other two, I kind of see as parodies of parodies.. but I didn't vote for either in finals >.>

What is the audio from 9 a parody of? I wasn't aware the audio was a parody of anything, as it seemed to me to just be an original sketch.

I haven't watched Bashar's video yet (on my phone atm), but it's not the song use that will make a parody recognizable, (You could make a parody using an entirely different song even >_>) it's styling the footage after the original. That's the advantage shin's video has in that respect. Mine is too simple.

I agree with the fact that the song doesn't make it a parody, but it helps if the audio is relatively unused because people will tend to associate it with one video. In my post I was simply pointing out a few reasons why people didn't make the connection, not pointing out that it WASN'T a parody.

.... which is what I'm adding to. :p

The "freshness" of a song can add to a parody's chance of being recognized, but, really, what designates something as a parody and not as just another video to the same song?

Scene matching? (can't say I went as far as last year, though - lol)

ish...Yeah I donno, that's the phone text one isn't it? I don't remember each video by numbers... sorry. Heck if I know... maybe it's people mixing up parody with comedy again? But i guess I kinda saw it as a parody of an original sketch? ish?

I donno I voted for several in that category... but as I said, I didn't vote for either of the two that are getting complaints for the final... but now there's a 50/50 guess as to what I did vote for

Well with how poorly edited 97 was, I hope it wasn't that one....

i got one in! not a snowball's chance in winning considering the competition but hey

132 - Rescue Me
Video footage was way overfiltered and ugly as sin, but other than that all my complaints are very, very minor. One of the most emotional videos in the contest that I've watched so far and one of my favorites. Just really, really great editing choices all around. 4.5/5

BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVAR!

(that was mine btw)

I nominated your video for a couple categories as well...

I read this as "I decided to only use half of my ass this year."
