I think I'd rather have edited to Carameldansen than the song we got for E. :shock:

Its such a lovely song. Mood sync FTW.
I can't wait till group H (my group) come up to bat.

oh come on. Just after listening to this song once, I've already thought of 2 different anime that fit absolutely perfectly to the lyrics of this song. You just gotta be creative. Since this is a competition, I won't post any of my ideas though.

Edit:
God dammit I wish I could have gotten this. The pace of the song matches my editing style perfectly, and I already have all the DVDs I'd need for it.

I know, nothing wrong with a little challenge. :) Though I have yet to find a series I've seen that actually works with the song, completely abusing myanimelist. :rofl:

First thing that comes to mind is Code Geass/TTGL/FMA, but that's not really a fresh idea. Gotta put on my thinking cap for this one! :jester:

Coldplay - Viva la vida 101 millions of views on YT :uhoh:
...

Well, editors taking part in this contest, explain me something :
How did you choose your songs to send?

I'll answer 1st to question :
I tried to select song that I probably won't edit but that I hoped to see edited someday. Then I tried to eliminate "uninteresting" songs, by "uninteresting" songs I mean the ones that are so much famous that they don't need me to "promote" them to be edited (Coldplay is one of that kind -even though I don't like it myself, you see what I mean), the ones that will only lead every member of a group to do the same fucking shit aka basic "romance" or "action" musics.
In the final selection, I also wanted to have different genres so that everyone in the contest has a opportunity to have something that suits as much as possible his own taste 'cause I'm not stupid, people have their tastes and I'm completely sure there is at least one of my songs that they won't like if it's released but still, I considered the "interesting" value, the one opening ways editors have probably never reached, was stronger than the taste issue.

I mean, one of my favourite own vid was made during Quickening and it used a song that I really hate but god, without that song, I would never have edited Giant Killing.
So I didn't like it, but it was not one of this song we can hear all day long + it has a fucking interesting value (and it wasn't a troll song like caramel danser /o/)

Also, I don't mean I didn't send pop music but hey, there are remixes for famous pop music you like!
Like this one for Shake it Out!

Same here, one of my song meet that statement.
Another 1 is a song I already have an idea for.
The rest 3 songs match my style, so that I won't have many problems with the editing if I meet one of them :bear:
But well, I guess Coldplay are a good choice for editing, and it's one of my favorite band. You're lucky group E.

Two of the songs I chose don't have any edits to them so I chose them to see what the editors would come up with. They all have an interesting concept and one of them would be pretty easy to edit with. My only regret is that I'm afraid that they both might be pop songs :uhoh:

One of those songs is the ending song for one of my favorite anime shows, so it already has an awesome ending to it. However, the song sounded so interesting that I just had to have it for myself ^_^ Then, I wanted to see what this would end up being edited like if I sent it out. :3 Safe to say it won't get chosen but I always hope because I love that song for its interesting sound and style. (I'm still looking for a song that sounds like this song too. . . Still haven't found one yet)

The other two we're chosen at random. . . but I really didn't want those to be chosen. However, I was in a sullen mood when I sent those songs so if either of those two get picked, I might regret it. :uhoh: At the very least, they aren't troll songs.

>.> I can assure you I like the original better.
I chose pretty okay songs, all of them can have a cool story if done well. Though this would be the worse song of my 5.

I chose my songs on a single basis: I hoped to edit to them someday because I have not seen a serious attempt at them, or that were really low on my priority queue to edit to, or that I plan on starting someday but am just really procrastinating on. If another group gets them, we will see 8 good honest attempts, or if I get them, it will give me incentive to edit a video I planned on editing later. Also, I picked 5 slower songs because I figured most of the songs would be really fast dancey/dubstep type shit. This would hopefully encourage editors to give a little more thought to the story they were trying to tell I am a VERY story-based editor, while I love watching a good action video, its not something I would edit often. Seeing the song selection so far, there's a good chance that's what I'm getting for my group anyway, so I have no regrets about choosing 5 slower songs.

I was just looking on my hard drive for songs that I like and I would like to edit to but I don't have any particular idea for it. I've found exactly 36 songs like that and I just picked 5, that, in my opinion, are the most universal (my taste in music is... specific and very various which means i included 2 dubstep-like songs and now I kinda regret it ^^).

I picked songs that I personally would like to edit to. And I always choose things that I feel are awesome, yet unexplored territory. Highly dynamic and "out there" fits the bill. My one concession to submitting "popular" music was including a song by Celldweller. But Celldweller doesn't have 101 million views on YT :roll:
