There's not really much more I can add to what EK just said. I'll just add my affirmation by nodding profusely

What exacly do you consider a sellout concept? Just wondering what your definition is?OtakuOutpost wrote:What amazes me about competitions is that the same rehashed conversation comes out of the end of each one of them.
The same people preach the same morals over and over again and we hear the same arguments about what AMV competitions are really about. Meanwhile, competition after competition, the only videos that are recognized are sellout concepts.
I agree with the bickering, but that will NEVER go away since it exists in all walks of life. It's a human thing unfortunatly. I hear it in clubs, at cons, during competitions, at work, etc, etc... Sad but one just has to deal with it since escaping it is impossible...OtakuOutpost wrote:I'm bored with AMV watching now and pissed off at all the competitions, so why bother anymore?

To think that there's nothing left to do is lame. To say there's so many people making AMV's that it's impossible to come up with a new concept is really lame. The problem is the lack of creative thinking on peoples part.
Well, it is a hobbly so I think people can do what every they want and we should have to pressure them into anything. Yes, I agree with better quality videos for contests, but it's kind of like the film industry where there are so many lame films and only a handfull of gems each year. I myself try many different kinds of concepts that may or may not be accepted (Just watch my lastest video). Personally I agree in trying something new, but that does not mean the concept must be "revolutionary" or compleatly new. I think if the video is sound and well done it can be just as good (Your videos this year were good solid drama, but not "revolutionary"...)OtakuOutpost wrote:People make amv's by listening to music and going, "hmmm... ya know that sounds a lot like this anime! I'll make a music video to it" That's why you see nothing but the same rehashed crap over and over again.
Think outside the NORM.
I've got about 30 concepts I've got floating in my head right now for videos unlike anything anybody else has tried yet. If I had less of a life, I might be able to get them done. As it is I will have to continue working at the breakneck pace of 1 video a year.
Sorry Tong, I find that statement way too generalized. I would rather see 6 - 10 good videos from someone rather than 2 bad videos...OtakuOutpost wrote:People who pump out 6 to 10 videos a year should die (alone).

Yeah, but i would rather see 2 good videos over 1 good video and 5 crap videos.Vlad G Pohnert wrote:Sorry Tony, I find that statement way too generalized. I would rather see 6 - 10 good videos from someone rather than 2 bad videos...
Yes, I agree to take the time and do a good job, but some people do nothing but videos all year and can produce a large quantity... Yes, maybe 10 videos is too much, but where do you actually draw the line as to how many videos / year should be done in order to make good ones???

Yep, I know what you mean there... I just don't want to disscurage peaple from doing thier hobbies that all... I do realize the humor attempt!OtakuOutpost wrote:

=D
Yeah, it's generalized but was intended to be a bad attempt at humor.

If ya have time, would you mind pointing out which vids from AXNY you thought were good enough to get copies of? I have a slow connection so I can't really get EVERYTHING. I'm interested in which drama ones were good...Ashyukun wrote: As for music video creation... I've pretty much only seen the videos that were shown at AXNY this year, having been rather cut off from the anime world as of late, but if that was any indication, there just weren't as many that made me, well, want to watch them. Maybe there were always that many, well, mediocre videos entered but they didn't make the final cut, I don't know, but looking down the list there are only maybe a dozen or so that I really want to get copies of.
