You ever notice that most AMVs use music from the same few genres? This is a contest designed to focus on other sorts of audio. There aren't any really strange audio in here, these are all common musical genres in some part of the world. They just aren't used in AMVs often. Expand yourself, do something that isn't the same damned rock songs as always.
To join just send me a PM or post you're joining in this thread. I will then send you a link to download the songs.
There are six songs provided, one by each judge then three more by me. Let me be upfront and spare you from joining to find out the audio. These are the six bits of audio:
Bette Midler - Otto Titsling
Dead Kennedys - Pull My Strings
JERO - Umiyuki
Neil Gaiman - Crazy Hair
Robert Fripp & The League Of The Crafty Guitarists - An Easy Way
The Dubliners - Whiskey In The Jar
The basic rules:
- There are 3 judges. I'll say who they were at the end of the contest. I am not one of the judges, unless there is a need for a tiebreaker.
- There is a two week deadline. All videos must be completed and gotten to me by Sept 6th 12:01AM CST.
- Audio may be edited. Keep in mind, the judges will know what the original songs sounded like and, I assume, will reward someone who edits it down to 30 seconds with the score they deserve.
- Because this is the org which loves misinterpreting very basic ideas, I suppose I should mention it's expected for you to do only one of the songs. If you wanna do all six, or edit the six into one AMV, then feel free, but no one expects that.
- There is no prize other than bragging rights. Sorry, I'm a cheap bastard.
