It's more like the olympics where you signed up to run in the 100 meter sprint then find out you have to recite your national anthem backwards while hoping on one foot and your hands are tied behind your back the whole way.??
Ok, maybe a little bit over exaggerating but the themes thus far have been rather vague which makes the whole process difficult IMO. If you don't really know or understand what the specifications are (because they are vague and not really well written, sorry) you're supposed to make are, it makes it that much more difficult to come up with an idea not to mention your confidence in actually accurately being able to follow the said specs.
that's just what i think at least.
Well, if I saw that the competetors of the "100 meter sprint then find out you have to recite your national anthem backwards while hoping on one foot and your hands are tied behind your back the whole way" were giving it a solid effort, then I would be amused no matter how bad they fail. But seriously, that point is understandable. What I'm addressing, is more the editing quality of the videos I've seen versus the quality of the "theme" concept. Alot of the videos I've watched look more like "throw crap together, I don't really care" vids more than they look like "I'm struggling with the theme" vids.

Currently uploading my video now, I spent maybe 10 hours in all on it? That's just my reality.
Sorry if you don't like it, but whatever, I'm having fun trying to make new things.
If I make it to the next round then so be

Due to the major lack of effort that was previously demonstrated, I'm going to have to be a bit more serious now.
So, unless you can pull magic out of your ass and create Skittles in one day, I'd recommend putting a bit more time and effort into these videos.
Just thought you'd want to know![]()

I really don't get the deal with the high expectations, anyone who's paid attention at all to Project Editor can see that not every video is going to be the greatest thing to ever happen to AMVing. Telling someone "Make better videos! >:" doesn't really do anything at all. Really, all you do at that point is discourage editors and then they end up dropping.
Additionally, Nancy and Yue, I'm tired of seeing you guys post and complain and complain and complain. "This doesn't live up to my standards!" "These videos are all half-assed" In this thread, in the contest forums, everywhere. You guys are not the end all and be all of whether or not AMVs are good. Your cynicism is not required here. Move along. SOME people still enjoy the hobby without having to edit top 10%/VCA/yougetthepoint material.

Anywho, I thought I tried to sound as civil as possible with my first post on here. The comment posted by Yue was just a verbal reaction to some videos that was not "supposed" to be directly quoted and posted. But let me re-iterate before everyone begins sulking here. I don't expect the top 10% on every video, especially here. And I do understand the time constraints of editing a vid in one week, that's the reason that made me not enter this myself. But I'm mearly stating my concerns and views as a member of the viewing audience. I know everyone may have 40+ hours of work or school, but 7 days is a loooooong time to put together a little something. But I guess if everyone is totally satisfied with what they make and having fun I guess that's that.
Honestly though guys, I really didn't mean my short post to be taken negatively to put down the editors and if it did I'm sorry and I won't post again. I guess if everything is going to be taken as hostile no matter how I put it then I'll just cease to post like I have for the past 2 years. I just wanted to state one audience member's thoughts in order to maybe motivate some people to actually do their best rather than just "meet the deadline"? My bad.
