Well grats to everyone on some great vids and I'm looking forward to the final round.

But on the judging topic (and be mindful I'm not telling anyone how to do their jobs or complaining, just voicing observations), but I'm just as shocked as some others about animated not making it to the finals, his video was very solid, even if it wasn't to my personal liking. But if I was a judge I couldn't fault it for that and it would be definitely in my top 3 vids.

Also, it's not as big of a deal as the TTT judging, but it did hurt my feelings a bit that some judges commented on their thoughts of the original videos negatively when it really didn't need to be mentioned. Since they are our favorite videos, I can't help but feel a little sad when reading something like "the effects look cheesy or ugly" on a video that I've held in such high esteem for years, and still do to this day. Not to call anyone out, just know that you made me sad for a few seconds. :(

See, whenever I see comments like that about old videos all I can compare them to are the moronic mouth breathers who do things like watch the original Star Wars (before Lucas raped it in the ear several times) and say the effects look old/cheesy and could have been better. My respect-o-meter drops a bit for them and I find myself making this face:

Star Wars?

*storms in*


There's nothing wrong with acknowledging something as cheesy. I grew up watching Star Wars, I'm a huge fan, and I'm well-aware of the cheesy-ness of the effects. I've accepted it as part of the charm. Same goes for AMVs. You can say "Yeah, this was cheesy" and still like it despite that fact. It's not that detrimental of a thing to say.

It is when you calculate it into your judging |:>
Spoiler :
Or when you base your judging off of disliking or liking the original video instead of just judging the damn remake unbiased.

Either way, it's a pet peeve of mine~ AGREE TO DISAGREE OR WE CAN ARM WRESTLE.

Actually I was thinking the same. This is the situation: 'I see what you did here, but then the video X did better'

I just imagine your arm like, the size of a muscly sailor with a pink anchor tattoo or something.

Spoiler :
Seems that I shouldn't have made a parody video to begin with: Most of the judges were biased against it, while they showed more love towards the happy/romantic ones. Let's say, Jaddziadax. Last round she gave me perfect 20s everywhere for my cute video, and now the lowest score, without even downloading the uncensored video (and another video got the perfect 20s again). Also: Theme points. 20s were supposed to be given to the videos with the most unique "creative spin" on the original video, while most of the judges gave me the lowest score of all 6 contestants. If what I did is not considered a "creative spin", then what is? Should I have gone with "cute scenes" formula to follow siny's and Lopez's example? All of the other 5 videos sticked to the original video's concept (except from Kisanzi's), but still I had to take the lowest theme points because of... black humour? Why? Ok then, let's block NSFW parodies then from the contest!

I believe I got low points for my intention to "destroy" such a beautiful video that everyone loves. No, I didn't do it for the lols, and I was creative. If i wasn't, i would just throw a bunch of gore and porn clips et voila. Also, to get a 6/20 rating for overall from a judge... No. That's not even subjectively a truthful rating. I'm not the one to talk, but hey... 6/20? No.

I feel like TwilightChrono now, well done.

I like how I mentioned by name for this, especially when I actually felt I scored your video rather high despite my personal taste. Insulting the judges in your comments probably didn't help. However I didn't read the comments until I scored 4 of the videos, and I still didn't change my mind.

I have actually never seen the original video until this contest, so I can't say I have any personal feelings for it. However I could only see your video as a fairly weak attempt at trolling, so I didn't feel the need to score highly overall (15) and why this is the lowest of the scores I gave you.

Your spin, while the antithesis of the original video, didn't seem all that creative because it just felt as though it was only made for shock value. As you say "just a bunch of porn and gore thrown on the timeline" is pretty much what I got out of this.

I didn't watch the uncensored video because 1. it was not entered into the contest and 2. I didn't feel like being trolled a second time. However I don't think that viewing the uncensored version will change my mind much because it was nothing but shock imagery for "black humor" aka "the lulz". You said so yourself in your comments.

This is video that was begging for a reaction and well you got one. I'm surprised that you seem so surprised about that.
