The rules are definitely kind of strange. Though a lot of the wording has been used for years, they edited it a lot to make no mention of specific categories that will be awarded and they included a file type that has not always been accepted in the past (I forget which one). As far as credits are concerned, I'd hope most serious AMV makers would include most of them as part of the video, whether entered when the AMV is submitted or not. AMVs with superfluous subtitles used to be rejected but now they may be accepted. I'm sure the judging will be impeccable, but the rules need to be much more specific, IMO.Ijexis wrote:It's just not the usual way I've gone about uploading stuff to cons. The MyConsOnline site is pretty nifty and the uploading process was nice and straight forward. It's just the rules for the actual contest were not as fleshed out as I was expecting. No indication if credits were allowed as part of the video and I didn't see any indication of being asked for information such as the song, anime, editor name, etc. Maybe I was missing something but you weren't kidding about them not caring much.
I'll be sure to pass on your comments about the site and the upload process to my friend--I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
