Anime North Music Video Competition Rules 2012

Post by Kieop » Fri Jan 13, 2012 7:41 pm

Hi rules are finally up!

The AN website has been moved and redesigned, so your old bookmarks may no longer work. However, the address is still www.animenorth.com

http://www.animenorth.com/live/index.ph ... &Itemid=72

This year's Challenge is to make a video using a song with non-English and non-Japanese lyrics.

Good luck!

Given this plus a lack of age restriction (unless I seriously missed something reading over the rules), I just hope we don't get a flood of "Caramelldansen" videos.

Now a flood of "Dragostea Din Tei" videos, now, THAT could be amusing. :idea:

I'm going to try Momiji's Challenge again this year. I've got two song ideas in mind, but one I'll probably have to cut one of them down should I choose that one.
Are we allowed to type out English translated lyrics by any chance?

You don't need to provide translations, but you can if you want. Subtitles can be a visual distraction and may adversely affect your cinematography mark, but if you feel that they are important to your artistic integrity then you may supply them. If you think they'd help your artistic vision mark more than they'd detract from your cinematography mark, then you can justify including them. It's a subjective call.

In the aftermath of Megaupload being shut down, some other file sharing sites have either ceased operation or cut back on services. Hopefully, this will blow over by the time the submission deadline rolls around (Apr 2). For now, most of the other sites that have traditionally been used for submitting to AN have been unaffected, but this may change.

When uploading your video, please check to make sure that your video can be downloaded by other parties. Some sites have now restricted download access to the original uploader.

For now, there appear to be enough options available to continue submitting electronically under our current system. However, if this changes, we may have to explore other electronic submission options (like FTP).

Hey Everyone!

This is a friendly reminder that the submission deadline is Monday April 2 at 11:59pm DST (officially). This is a firm deadline, but not a rigid one; we will accept videos that arrive shortly after midnight if it is obvious that a sincere effort was made to meet the deadline.

Good luck. There is only one week left!!
