Okay, to get some things semi-back-on-track. So here's my take on all the entries submitted.
Just so you know, I tend to judge things on a more technical side for the majority of videos I see. Stuff like editing, video quality, I'll try my best to also convey stuff like mood or pacing if I can.
1. It had it's funny moments, made me feel some nostalgia for the series, but overall didn't stand out, 5/10
2. Obvious joke to the anime, overall I could see it coming, felt more like a character profile amv, but still couldn't get into it 3/10
3. Edited well, at least by my standards. Conveyed to me a sense of awkwardness and "I'm falling in love with this guy." 6/10
4. interesting to watch, obviously the person did a lot of work creating this animation. Sets an interesting mood. 6/10
5. Lots of dissolves and action scenes. Edited decently but really felt like a generic action amv Still that one knock doesn't hurt it too much. 6/10
6. A lot of quick cuts, but still sets a good pace. Good use of transistions, some effects used in the right spots. Entertaining to watch 7/10
7. Good use of dissovles and fades, I thought the editing was fairly good, video quality was good too. Had good pacing too. 6/10
8. Good use of hiding the mouths are certain parts for the lipsync. The joke was funny and to the point. Short but any longer would have killed it. 6/10
9. DBZ gets overused but in this case it was a good match. Matching of lyrics to scenes was pretty good and the end was great. 7/10
10. I liked Coraline, and this video kinda creeped me out. Good job setting the mood of the video, excellent editing. 7/10
11. This song almost made me fall in love with hinako while watching this video. Actually it was a combination I would never have thought of. 6/10
12. Decent editing, but it felt like an average romance video. 5/10
13. Nice use of scenes from this anime. Good matching of lyrics to the story as well a tiny bit depressing. 6/10
14. Many people made the crack about the similarities to this cartoon and that movie. Edited pretty well to fit the source audio. 6/10
15. I can see what the person was aiming for with this video, or at least I think I can, still video didn't do anything for me. 4/10
16. Felt like a generic action amv with fighting during the heavy bits of the song and and brooding emo guys during the lighter bits. 5/10
17. Use a matte to add a visual effect for the whole video, but other than that the editing was average. 5/10
18. This was definitely different. Dynamic use of effects throughout. Edited well, and uses a series that is known for its humor (and showing none) 6/10
19. a few spots that made me chuckle, lip syncing was off on some parts. (at least it seemed like that's what was going on) didn't appeal to me. 3/10
20. I never thought an amv that used so many dance clips would make me laugh so much. 7/10
21. Tightly edited, very fast paced and conveyed the story well, good use of music to the anime. 7/10
22. Wow, okay, good matching of music to source, slowed down footage was noticable at some parts but still one of my favorites. 8/10
23. I really thought this video was one of the best submitted. Very good at evoking emotions. 8/10
24. Editing was okay, but when I saw this amv but the joke was so obvious its probably why nobody's done it before. Still was above average. 6/10
25. What I like to call a chronological amv as that the scenes progress as they do in the anime. Still it was pretty good. 7/10
26. The song/scenes made me laugh, especially for an ova that was only 30 minutes long. Editing was decent 6/10
27. Very fast paced, decent editing, but didn't stand out as anything special to me. 5/10
28. OKay, I officially hate the creator of this. I have tinnitus and it drives me nuts when I'm in a silent room. THanks for reminding me how much it sucks. Bonus points for accuracy though. 6/10
29. Edits were okay, I laughed at the one use of lip synch, but nothing too special, plus the joke was too obvious. 5/10
30. Edits were good, but I think the message was conveyed well enough without the subtitles, but I won't penalize it for that. 6/10
31. Another of the top amvs in the contest. Excellent choice in music, anime and editing was on the dot for the pacing of the song. 9/10
32. A cute amv with a nice matching of anime and music. Fun to watch. 8/10
33. An okay video with a good mix of stuggle, romance and support. 6/10
34. I thought I developed schizophrenia while watching this amv, the jokes made me laugh and that's why I liked it. 7/10
35. My favorite video out of the contest. The song was perfect, catchy, good editing, good concept and slightly offensive. 9/10
36. The video was edited well, conveyed moods well, but felt like an average amv 5/10 (on a humorous note,when I saw the "press z to make your dreams come true" I exclaimed "WHY WON'T IT STOP PLAYING WHEN I PRESS Z") sorry didn't mean to be cruel, it just popped in my head when I read that bit and giggled. I think I channeled godix there for a moment.
37. A romance video that turned violent at some points. The male lead looks just like one of my friends, which was scary. Good editing, nice transitions still didn't stand apart from the similar videos 6/10
38. A video that used a lot of editing effects in the form of flying windows. Some parts reminded me of my first attempt at making effects in AE. Remained consistent throughout the video. But still needed more work. 5/10
39. Fast paced action video. Lots of action and gore. Good matching of lyrics to anime. 6/10
40. I wanted to fall asleep while watching this AMV. This video didn't exactly keep my interest. It was edited well but the concept was boring. 3/10
41. Somewhat humorous combination of music and movie. Entertaining to watch 6/10
42. Saw this at Acen when it was submitted to our contest. Though it was an okay amv then, still hasn't changed my opinion of it. 6/10
43. FUn video fit the music and anime, had its memorable moments 6/10
44. I felt like I was watching an old 60's anime while watching this. Reminded me of the original Cutey Honey. 5/10
45. WTF indeed 6/10
46. I nejoyed watching this AMV. Really conveyed the feelings of the anime well. 7/10
47. Not quite what I expected. But then I was spoiled on the "DBZ In a nutshell" flash. Still a good amv. 7/10
48. Flashy amv, editing was decent. Choice of scenery was okay but didn't set itself apart from the other karas amvs I've seen. 6/10
49. A nice upbeat amv with decent editing and effects. 7/10
50. Brought back memories of my youth in the 80's when WTTW 11 would show old godzilla, gamera and mothra flicks. Music was a change of pace and I really liked this amv. Aspect Ratio looked wrong though. 7/10
51. I can sum this video up with one word: SPASTIC. 5/10
52. If I could have sex with this amv I would. A fun song to use with the anime used. Fun to watch. 8/10
53. Reminded me of a "Schizo" simulation video I saw. Damn creepy 5/10
54. A funny vidoe that was edited well, Great pacing and the jokes were well timed. 7/10
55. The person had to go through a lo of movies for this video. They took all the good scenes from a billion movies and made one really well edited mish-mash of movies. 7/10
56. Interesting use of music for the series that was used. I always liked videos that focused on the mimaniac than the whole "I'm losing my mind" side of things. 7/10
57. Clipshow amv. Some parts were pretty funny but some parts had terrible quality too. 6/10
58. Another parody of euphoria but with hentai. Seems like it tries to be funny but is similar to the many hamvs I have already. 5/10
59. Fast paced hentai amv that, while has a few moments that made me cringe, really is similar to #58. 5/10
60.
MY EYES! THEY BLEED!!!!
10/10 - FOR THE HORROR!
Gimme a minute, I'll make a cool one....
