Vids with "unnecessary text" are heavily scrutinized, by me especially. However, because I'm so militant against text, I have my staff confirm my DQs to keep me in check.kutiekittykandykorn wrote:I was there at the AMV contest and I noticed that one of the AMVs used subtitles. Isn't that against the rules?
I was overruled on Rider's vid.

Wow, I can't believe it had to be overruled...I've seen some poor use of purposed subtitling text and that was not it.

There was a lot in this contest that surprised me, but the reaction to Special Eyes (which was made forever ago, and never intended for contests) *really* caught me off guard. *Really.*
I wanted to take the time to say "Thank you" for creating a bonus award for it based on audience reaction; it really wasn't necessary, but it definitely was appreciated.

I know I was dying. And when he was setting up that there was going to be another winner I know I muttered 'Special eyes!!' And I literally just posted it as a comment to someone who couldn't make an eye appointment today.Warlike Swans wrote:There was a lot in this contest that surprised me, but the reaction to Special Eyes (which was made forever ago, and never intended for contests) *really* caught me off guard. *Really.*

So in other words, even if I hadn't screwed up the AVISynth script and had managed to properly replace my video's subliminal message "OBEY JINGORO" with "OBEY TROY" like I had tried to, it still wouldn't have saved it? Oddly comforting if true.Pwolf wrote:Troy hates anything with text in it.
