AWA new event thread

There has been recent talk of modification of a couple of the AMV contests running at AWA. I was revising the rules with Matt for this years, and as I overlook mostly the Dance Video Challenge, I was revamping the rules and considering a music theme. When I asked about people's opinion I got interesting reports which made me want to probe the community further.

So I asked about the interest in another AMV contest, and I got a mixed bag response. A good chunk of them, however, were interested in some type of non-competetive event.

What is your take on this?

Dew it!

Non-competitive would be nice to see, even though I haven't been to many contests. |:

Sounds like a good idea to me, especially since I'm actually going to AWA this year ^_^

I was looking for a little more input, if anybody had some. . .

More or less opinions on non-competetive situations.

'Non-competitive situations' would pretty much be anything where people make videos along a certain theme/style/etc or the likes and they're just played, not judged, right? This to me would evoke thoughts of the DDR/M:I projects, the SW trailer project, or (far more ambitiously) the Matrix project there have been rumblings about.

Here's my suggestion: Pick something domestic (a movie if you're being really ambitious, a tv episode (of something fairly well-known and good) if being a bit less, or a musical (Les Mis, Phantom, etc.) if you want to be -really- insane) and split it up into nice, say, 4 or 5-minute segments (maybe 2-3 minute for a TV ep.) and have people sign up for it, and hand out the segments at random and have the editors do whatever they feel like with it (well, maybe not whatever , it should somewhat try and follow the audio) and put them all together to have an AMV 'movie' or 'TV episode'.

Probably not the best of suggestions I admit, but maybe it'll prompt better ones...

An idea I pitched to quu a while back because I thought it was amusing:

AMV Karaoke Challenge!

AMV creators are challenged to sing the songs to their own amvs in an awesome display of vocal talent and intoxication.

Just so long as it didn't end up in an awesome display of regurgitation.

I could deal with that. I'll just do Karaoke to 'Dark Metropolis'. Or maybe I'll be be ambitious, and use 'Eden 12/24'. 8)

hmm. . well, i was hoping for a more significant response, to be honest. the people i was talking to off-board led me to believe that there would be big interest in an event like this. . .

but if you are, please speak up here and do it soon! We're about to begin drawing up scheduling plans for the AWA VAT soon.

. . . first of all it wouldn't be a project like DDR or any other number of project out there. It would definetly be more like a screening session opportunity, details still variable, tho
