Final Words Regarding Project NeoEditor I

I'd like to personally thank each and every person involved with the contest. The entires were amazing, the finals were ASTOUNDING, and the support I received was amazing. I'm glad to say the main contest is now over, and that I look forward to all of you joining up next year.

Ileia and Lantis, please send me your shipping information through pm, and I'll get your prizes to you as soon as humanly possible. Also, if you three are interesting in taking the judging positions for next year, please also include that information in the pm.

I don't have ALL the changes ready and waiting, but there is a great deal of changes planned. I will include them at the conclusion of Project NeoEditor's little "experiment".

With that in mind...

:bzz: :bzz: :bzz: :bzz: Project NeoEditor Bonus Round :bzz2: :bzz2: :bzz2: :bzz2:

Welcome to the BONUS ROUND! Here at ProjectNeoEditor, we're all about improving ourselves to higher standards of competition. I understand that many things have gone wrong with this first installment of NeoEditor, so I plan on fixing some of these things. But in order to improve upon things, one must TEST things out first.

With that in mind, here is Round 7 a bonus round for Project NeoEditor. ANYONE is able to enter, regardless of if they were in the original contest or not.

Changes from the Previous 6 Rounds
1) Different Judging Criteria
2) New Experiments
3) Less specific guidelines involving anime selections

Anyway, here we go!

__________________________________

The Theme:

School is a boring an often snooze-inducing environment. We've all been there at some point or another in our lives. The point where the boredom of our very lives seems to envelop and overtake us, and we become gelatenous blobs of a human being, mistaking sparkling bottle caps as a form of entertainment.

Well, here at NeoEditor, we're all about livening up your world!

So for this round, create a video that begins with a "slice of life" beginning[1], showing ordinary circumstances anyone would find themselves in. However, break up this boredom with something wild and outrageous that happens! Show us what you'd like to happen to you in your boring normal life, should you be given the chance to choose.

______________________________________

The WildCard:

However, we also wish to foster creativity in NeoEditor. Therefore, it's time for Project NeoEditor's very first "WILDCARD".[2]

You must follow one additional guideline:

1) Use at least 2 sources.
2) Cannot use any fades of any kind. This includes fades that are in the anime, and not necessarily as an action of the editor.
3) Include a mudkip in your video. Must be an intergral part of the AMV.

The Prizes!:

1) 1st Place will win a small grab-bag of goodies AND will be able to pick a theme for next year's NeoEditor's opening theme.
2) 2nd & 3rd Place Winners will win the chance to judge for Project NeoEditor II.


__________________________

Subnotes

[1] [It is not necessary to JUST use a slice of life anime. You can use the calmer and non-action oriented parts of Bleach, for example, and I would consider that "Slice of Life". Bleach is just an example, you can use any anime.]

[2] [Wildcard is a new feature, which I wanted to test out, instead of limiting editors on their guidelines, I instead will offer 3 alternative rules that you may choose to follow. You must choose ONE at the very least, or be penalized in your overall score. Wildcard will generally add the same three restrictions, but with different actual elementents. For example, #1 will usually involve anime/audio restrictions, #2 will involve restrictions upon editing and #3 will involve somethimg completely random.]

_______________

Judging Criteria

Each video will be judged on these three separate Judging Criteria.

1) 20 Points for each of the following [Sync, Video/Audio Quality, Concept/Theme Execution, Originality, Editing]
2) 20 Points Originality / 50 Points Editing/Sync / 10 Points Quality / 20 Points Execution of Theme
3) A rating of 0 to 10 points based on the judge's overall experience.

_______________

Special Instructions:

1) Please name your file VideoX.extension
2) Videos are due by August 18, 2010 11:59 CST PM.
3) Each additional wildcard will increase your average % by 3.

Hmm... Since we're experimenting, then yes. For each additional wildcard used, I'll increase the average by 3%.

No, any source footage is completely acceptable. Live action footage or footage from different animation styles is fine.

Here I was watching the main P:E thread for the results and last round...I was wondering why it was so quiet over there.

Congratulations, Ileia!

thanks Nya and Angelyco <3

Winning is of course nice and everything, but I like the videos that came out of doing this more than anything else. I don't often do videos with a concept other than SONG + ANIME = AMV so it was nice to have some motivation to do otherwise. I hope that this is what everyone else took away from this as well, not that you were eliminated or dropped and what have you, but the videos that you made. Now I am off to make bumpers for these vids. *awaaaaaay*

No, beacuse you'll be far too busy judging all these videos 3 times. In triplicate. And in German, but only by translating it through a French Dictionary.
