Re: Fanime Music Video Contest 2009 Rules.... AMV's Due May 5th

Postby eaglemech_45 » Tue May 05, 2009 8:38 pm

Straight off the Fanime front page. Not written by me but does a great job of getting the point across.

FMV contest deadline extended!

If you're rushing through last-second changes and are realizing you won't make it, you're in luck! The FMV deadline has been moved to midnight on May 11! However, you'll still get a bonus extra two points if you make the original May 5th soft deadline and submit today. Midnight of May 11th is a hard deadline, so please get it in before then. Also, if you didn't like the mash-up theme, it's OK. Those who use the theme will only receive three bonus points, so feel free to submit your AMVs anyways. So, turn in those music videos; you're still in the running!


Sorry to do this to everyone, please submit what you have/want/willing to submit and good luck!

Mental note *Don’t F&*@ up a good thing, a.k.a don’t change AMV's the formula worked before I got here and I'm pretty sure I’m just F$#%ing it up with my insane ideas. Next year it will be a straight forward AMV contest no hijinks.

Now what one convention I go to does is have an award for the video that best fits the theme. So a theme can be used but people don't have to actually use it.

Ouch thats a harsh blow. but I think that isnt even considered a mash up video


I wasn't really talking about mash-up videos, and AMV HELL certainly isn't one. I actually think mash-up videos as defined in the rules can be good. I was once blown away by a video to a Foo Fighters song where the creator composited footage from the original video into the anime. Very impressive.

I sent mine back in April, I resent them earlier this week due to not getting a confirmation.
This is how I see things:
A bad AMV makes it look easy
A good AMV makes it look fun
A great AMV makes it look hard
However, the best AMVs make it look impossible

Doesn't matter if its caps. :P
Also if we submitted before the deadline and want to do a quick resubmission for frame fixes in a video would that negate the 2 extra points?

Aw, really!? :o :( It doesn't have to be theme anymore? I found out last month before the original deadline that entries had to follow the theme of mash-up and decided that I wouldn't have time to finish up a good enough video that would be mash-up themed. I was planning on sending a couple that weren't theme but when I saw this:

eaglemech_45 wrote:Yes, The videos submitted must follow the mashup theme.


I didn't send my entries. I was pretty disappointed. And today I find out I could have broken the rules, not have been disqualified and gotten bonus points for sending when I had originally planned? :lol: This will probably be the only time I wish I had broken a rule! :P

Oooh well. Thank you for extending the deadline for us anyway. :D Running a AMV contest is difficult and it's hard to please everyone especially when trying out something new like this, so don't feel bad. It's nice that something original was tried. :up: I'm sure a lot of people came up with great ideas because of it.

I might still be sending an entry or two in before the new deadline.

Yeah, I can see how such a long wait can breed resentment.
