I think we've all felt a similar way about our being "snubbed" at some time. It's happened to all of us. I went three years before inspiration brought about "Go Ask Haruhi" and I finally started appearing in the contests. I think it was then I finally understood the importance of hitting the right combination of song and scenery. Of course, "White Rabbit" was the obvious choice for the anime I used. It was a "Why didn't I think of this before?" revelation. Even more to the point, "why hasn't anyone else done it?"
I can give you a true opinion if you want it. Just don't force a concept into being if you are low on the proper scenery. Drama, in addition to being the most populated category in any AMV contest, is extremely dependent on mood, balance, timing, and the story. It's tougher than it looks to do right by this category. It reminds me of the fangirl who complains that her character profile video didn't make the finals for Romance. It may not be intentional, but it happens. Upbeat and Action are also similarly confused. The only definite we have is comedy, and THAT'S tough to master.
Anyway, just keep cranking out ideas. Sometimes it's all anyone can do to find inspiration...
Thanks man, I'll keep cranking them out.
