Anime USA Deadline Reminder

Postby Waldo » Fri Oct 10, 2003 8:28 pm

The deadline for the Anime USA AMV Contest is coming up in 3 weeks. Get those submissions in ASAP... all the cool kids are submitting.

Come on, give in to peer pressure. You know you want to, especially if you like to make upbeat and action videos. *hint hint*

I want to enter but seeing the rules I am a bit confused as to whether my video would be "legal" or not for exhibition.

Your video can not include subtitles, whether they be from fansubs or from an official release. Subtitles that you add yourself are acceptable.


Your video should not include audio from a commercial dub. Any sound effects or dubbing you do yourself however, is fine by us.


Do NOT include studio bumpers, credits or title cards with your video. Anime USA will be creating custom, uniform title cards based on the information that you give us. Including a bumper, credits, or title card of your own design may result in disqualification.


In my video Nabeshin's: No Escape (linked beloiw) i have a bumper which I feel is necessary to the video in and of itself. While I can crop out the studio name I would like to know if this would deem the video disqualified. I have the bumper to set up the audience for the cheezy b-movie styling, therefore it's almost completely ineffective without it. My other problem lies in the fact that I not only use the characters themselves, but direct audio rips from Mystery Science Theater 3000. This too has me concerned. Your site said “from a commercial dub,” is that referring just to anime, or would this also get me booted?
The only subtitles are in Japanese and are completely unavoidable due to the fact that it’s a hard-sub to meant to translate from eubonic-English to Japanese (not a rip from the domestic, but the original Japanese track.) This hasn’t me concerned so much, but I just want to clarify before I enter. I would really like to get this one shown

While text that was always part of the show is probably okay, using the dub from the show (and from MST3K) is probably not allowed. You can use the character's original japanese dub (which IS allowed, IIRC) and subtitle it yourself, and that's permitted.

I think your video will be fine. What we're looking for is for people to stick to the "spirit" of the rules. The reason we ask people not to include bumpers and title placards is because we will be creating uniform title placards for the contest, and ifyou show a title placard as well it will be redundant. When the bumper is part of the AMV itself, that's another story. Using direct audio rips from MST3k is fine as well. Espcially if you're submitting the video in the parody track seeing as how many parodies use spoken audio with editied footage.

Is a simple bumper w/ the studio logo permissable?

*semi-panicking as I didn't edit all during my fall break and the video I send has to be completed at school*

I'm going to submit, as soon as I finish up tweaking my video a bit. You say that bumpers/logos may the the cause for disqualification, what if these logs are part of the concept for the video?

Remember folks, the rules for the contest are as rigid as a boneless turkey in a blender.

Chew on that nugget of wisdom. Rinse. Repeat.

So what you're saying in the AnimeUSA deadline in soon? like November 1st, 2003?

I don't believe that.. is that true? Wow that's pretty close.. so that would mean it any contest entries would need to be in real soon right?

Huh. Interesting.
