Ok, as for Manganate...you're fucking retarded and I'm not even going to reply to your long ass post :/
I've already said that the contest itself was fine, meaning that the staff pulled it off without a hitch, my gripe was with the quality of the videos that were entered.
Is it wrong to ask for action videos with ACTION in them?
And as for the rest, like I said, I'm not even going to reply.
I'm not saying that my opinion is the best or only one around. I'm giving my views and personal opinions of the contest. As for the videos I picked out to talk about, they were the least forgettable that I could actually make examples of :/
But damn it, if you don't like my opinion, than ignore it and stop raging :/
And machina21, I'm sorry, I didn't like your entry. You can't please everyone and the fact that it wasn't really an action video in an action category didn't help it for me. Sorry sweetie, you'll just have to learn to take the hate with the love in this world.

Guess I should've expected this from someone who would rather dismiss videos offhand because of an aspect ratio problem than pay attention and watch.

milkmandan wrote:Now if you are talking about Death Note Rhapsody, then yes i would agree with you. with obvious technical and/or editing sloppiness/errors.
but it seems you are just responding to Manganate's comment, if that is the case then you need to consider the following:
It may very well be that not many videos were submitted to that specific category...
With such a small selection sometimes, it may be difficult to chose one over the other.
milkmandan wrote:For example:
I am running an AMV contest, i have 1 category only and I can only take 4 finalists. But i get 6 entries. 3 of them are AWESOME and perfect in all ways. 2 of them are crap in terms of concept and editing (bad sound, bad video quality subs, but correct Aspect Ratio), the last one is great concept, great sound, great video quality, wrong aspect ratio. I have to choose 4 to fill up the programming time. What do i do?
I would choose the great concept..great sound...great video one.
milkmandan wrote:what manganate was trying to say was that Yue put technicality OVER concept. While both are equally important, a concept is always better to go with (first).
the amv "the internet is for porn" is a great example.. the aspect ratio is ALL MEssed up. but people still LOVE IT, none the less and it wins awards.
with limited selection sometimes, it is difficult to choose what deserves to be in as finalist.
milkmandan wrote:AX has been going through many changes, ever since the swap of AMV coordinators, i would give AX more credit and more time before questioning the hope for this AMV contest.
I would love to see your videos at AX, pwolf. No matter how the contest is run, it would be fun to see your videos on the big screen in LA.

However, by not entering, all prideful editors have opened the door for lesser editors to create crap and be rewarded with nominations and, in some cases, awards.
It's simple math. AX needs to pull 28 videos from a pool of all entries. If that pool is smaller because people aren't entering, then the quality suffers. It's not rocket science.
Stop complaining about the quality, step up to the plate, and submit kick-ass videos! The contest will be all the better for it.

the creators just already have their tickets from the AMV 101 panel, so they wait in the "omg we have our tickets already" line and thus getting in earlier.

Otherwise I like the contest the way it is done…
