Announcement & discussion of Anime Music Video contests
Forum rules
Coordinators who fail to maintain necessary communication with entrants, or provide timely updates on results may be barred from announcing future events.
FYI I made some changes in how ballots are tallied for the balloting screen.
Hopefully this will solve some problems.
Things were being calculated 3 times, when they should have been calculated once.
As always, bug reports -> jingoro@jingoro.net. You're welcome to post them here, too, but I respond faster from my email.
#1 - Wasn't crazy about the lip sync. Kind of an average trailer otherwise.
#2 - Not crazy about the combo.
#3 - The visuals didn't really match up to what was going on in the lyrics, particularly in the verses.
#4 - I rather liked this, though the lip sync felt wonky at times.
#5 - Reminds me of Nya-chan Production's "Just Passing By", but a whole heck of a lot less dynamic.
#6 - Not even literal mammary cannons can save this one.
#7 - I liked the horror elements in this, but the constant switching back and forth between overcoat/no-overcoat on Keifer irked me. Visual continuity anyone?
#8 - Good all around video. Nice story.
#9 - What'd any of the different footage have to do with each other. Just felt like you ran out of footage from one source and abruptly switched to another.
#10 - Interesting concept and mix of sources. However, a large chunk of time it just feels like too much is going on visually; this combined with the short cuts don't give enough time to fully register what you're looking at.
#11 - The text effects gave me a headache.
#12 - Not exactly the most original song/source combo ever...
#13 - Odd, but amusing concept. Horizontally stretched footage was really obvious.
#14 - Nice video, but the romantic connotations of the song kind of make the video a bit eyebrow raising.
#15 - Had to rewatch the original just to see how much the two actually lined up.
#16 - This was enjoyable.
#17 - Cute video, but the zoom transitions seemed unnecessary.
#18 - I fell out of my chair laughing at this one.
#19 - The fast transitions during the instrumental parts felt kind of jarring.
#20 - Beautiful effect. Too bad the edges are so rough and aliased looking.
#21 - Video keeps pace with the song's tempo quite well.
#22 - Extremely positive vibe.
#23 - The nose-wiggling during the lip sync was super noticeable.
#24 - Kind of ho-hum comedy. Really badly aliased. The men chant lip sync seemed kind of off to me.
#25 - I like the reactions to this video more than the video itself.
#26 - Umm... bumpers? Suitably goofy.
#27 - Hard to take the Rick Astley vocals seriously; I couldn't get past that.
#28 - Amusing idea but it drags really hard by the end. Though I imagine that's the point.
#29 - No real sync going on here.
#30 - The cuts/transitions feel too fast for the pace of the song.
#31 - Picking a girl to represent Hawking felt awkward.
#32 - REALLY abrupt ending. Having random items in the background glow in sync with the music felt silly.
#33 - Another abrupt ending. The chroma keying was really rough around the edges (pun intended). Kind of confused as to what Dream Eater Merry had to do with the rest of the video.
#34 - Funny, but the constantly changing AR wasn't handled too well.
#35 - Umm... credits? The image borders were poorly cut out. I'm not much on MMV's anyhow.
#36 - Cute video, but a lot of the transitions seemed rather unnecessary.
#37 - Good to see a video game music video in the mix.
#38 - Appropriate lyrics for Hell Girl, but the visuals don't keep pace with the song's tempo.
#39 - Umm...
#40 - Amusing concept, but it wasn't all that interesting to watch.
#41 - Decent romantic comedy. The lip sync feels more like lip flap though.
#42 - Short and pointless. Shouldn't it have been Luffy speaking at the end?
#43 - Despite my lack of interest in sports, I enjoyed this.
#44 - Very amusing, but HOLY LIP FLAP BATMAN!
#45 - Well done, but doesn't feel like a complete amv.
#46 - Nice!
#47 - Visual quality issues generally don't phase me, except for interlacing (and it was here in spades).
#48 - Weird, but interesting. Way too much Spiderman footage.
#49 - I'm kind of neutral on this one.
#50 - Moves along quite well for its length.
#51 - Way too much sped up footage and the character cutout transitions were cheesy.
#52 - What the hell was this??
#53 - Can I have those seven minutes back?
#54 - Ok I guess...
#55 - Really nice video. The text felt out of place though.
#56 - Very well done.
#57 - A nice enough upbeat video.
#58 - Didn't leave much of an impression on me.
