Here’s how it works…

Watch the videos in each category, then fill out the form that needs to be sent directly to me!!

What I'm looking for…

Each category has several videos, and you are picking your favorite 3 in each category. You will also be giving the videos a rating of 1 through 10 in six different aspects. These aspects are: Originality; Quality; Effects; Action/Editing Sync; Effort; and Overall. I would also like a brief summery of why you gave the scores you did.

Example…

Originality- This is pretty straightforward, you are looking for videos that have music and clips that aren’t used very often. The concept of the video is original. (I gave this video a 9 because I don’t really see the clips from this anime used very often, and I've never heard this song before. OR I gave this video a 4 because I did a simple search on the org with this song to the anime used in the video, and put it this way… its been done)

Quality- This is both visual and audio quality. Obviously you want to watch videos that don’t have logos or subtitles, and everything should be crystal clear. (I gave this video an 8 because the sound quality was amazing, but the visual quality could have been a little better.)

Effects- There doesn’t have to be a ton of fancy effects for the video to be great. Something as simple as a fade or an overlay is enough… as long as it’s used properly. (I gave this video an 8 since there were a few different effects, and they where all used perfectly with the music)

Action/ Editing Sync- Make sure that the clips used match up with the beats and words of the music. If it’s a slower song the clips should be slow, and if the song is faster the clips should also be faster. The clips actually fit the words, and if there is any lip-syncing it should also fit pretty good. (I gave this video a 7 because the clips used seemed to fit the words well, but the timing was a little off.)

Effort- Most people put a lot of effort into their videos, and it usually shows. (I could really tell that a lot of work went into this video, so I gave it a 9.)

Overall- This should be an overall score on the video. Since these are the videos you thought were the best in each category, this score should be pretty high. (I really enjoyed watching this video, everything was put together very nice and I could tell the creator is very proud of what they did… so I gave this video an overall rating of a 9.)

Remember I want all votes turned in to me either through a PM or an email. That way your votes don’t sway the votes of everyone else. After I have collected all the votes, I will put them all together to choose the winners. Any questions please post it here or send me a PM!!

Happy Voting!

Sounds like some kind of cheese

I think along with not voting for your video, we should not be able to vote for our entire category. That seems fair right?

Scoob · Post by **Scoob** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 8:36 pm

Oh wow if we did that then I wouldn't be able to vote at all.

lol

Your right you cant vote for your own videos, simply because i think its kinda a cheap vote... and if i had the option to vote for myself i wouldnt, cause i want to know my video did good because thats what people think (not what i think!).

I dont see any problem with voting for your entry catagory, cause like Scoob said... some people wont be able to vote at all! I want as many votes as possible, so that i can make a fair decision on the winners...

So far Ive got votes from Kristyrat, thank you, and myself... so place your votes!! If its too much trouble to fill out the whole form, at least put the video choices (and not the detailed points), though it would be really helpful if you put some kind of imput into it!!
