The Online AMV Iron Chef Tournament v4.0 - ROUND FOUR!
THE ONLINE AMV IRON CHEF TOURNAMENT v4.0
Hosted by: Brad - Co-coordinated by: Nessephanie
Judged by: Aerialesque, Zarxrax, MimS, Prodigi, Godix & Pwolf
ROUND FOUR
Well it may have taken us a ridiculous amount of time, but we're finally at Round 4. 96 people began and now only 12 remain... As you may have guessed from the two previous rounds, this round will also have a theme.
The theme for Round 4 is Mash-Ups.
If you're not familiar with what a mash-up is, it's when somebody takes two or more different songs, and mixes them together to create something unique. There've been several great examples of these used in AMV's, but the two that spring to mind first would be Dueling Videos: Under Ice and Blame It On 2009: A Good, Good Year.
Now aside from just giving you guys a specific type of song to edit with, this round will also have some pretty interesting changes to the rules, so PLEASE READ THEM!
(At the end of Episode 5, I do explain these rule changes with audio and explainer graphics, if that might help)
1. SONG SELECTION
Rather than pick 6 specific mash-ups to give you guys, I've accumulated 18 mash-ups. Before each match, I will randomly select three of them. I will give both editors links to all 3 songs. They will download and listen to them, then RANK them 1-3 based on how much they liked them (1 being lowest, 3 being highest). I will then add the scores together and whichever song has the highest score, will be the one that gets used. In the case of a tie, I will roll a virtual dice to select the winner.
2. SOURCE SELECTION
In previous rounds, you gave me a list of 5 sources, and you ended up with 1 of them. In this round, you will give me 4 list items, each one containing 3 sources.
Confusing?
Here's how a list from previous rounds may have looked:
1. Eva 2.22
2. Read or Die OVA
3. A Certain Scientific Railgun 3-7
4. Air Movie
5. The Animatrix
Here's how a list for Round 4 will look:
1. Freedom, Pale Cocoon, Moonlight Mile 1-5
2. Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, Appleseed: Ex Machina, Amazing Nuts
3. Girls Bravo 1-5, Infinite Stratos 1-5, Maria+Holic 1-5
4. Bakemonogatari 9-13, Black Rock Shooter, Angel Beat 1-5
The idea here is that you want a nice variety of sources that will still mesh well together. Not unlike the core idea behind mash-ups themselves. One thing to keep in mind is that each list item needs to include 3 DIFFERENT series/movies/etc. So you can't just do Cowboy Bebop 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, or whatever.
Because you will have considerably more source to prepare, you will choose sources 48 hours ahead of time rather than 24.
One more thing to keep in mind. You MUST USE AT LEAST TWO OF YOUR THREE sources in your video. Obviously I'd prefer you to try and work in all 3, but two is the minimum.
3. EDITING TIME
From this point on in the tournament, editors will have the choice between editing for either 2 or 3 hours. However, both editors must agree on the duration, otherwise it will default down to 2 hours.
Sooo yeah. I think that pretty much explains it. If anybody has any questions, please feel free to let me know. Considering that we only have 6 matches remaining, I can't imagine this being too complicated to work out. You should all know who your opponents are. Go talk to them, figure out when you wanna do your match, and get back to me!

Re: The Online AMV Iron Chef Tournament v4.0 - ROUND FOUR!
Just occurred to me while watching Ep 5...so, if both editors have to vote on which songs they like/hate and then you total it up and such.... this basically means that the editors MUST edit at the same time, otherwise it's not possible...
This'll be....interesting

Re: The Online AMV Iron Chef Tournament v4.0 - ROUND FOUR!
Can we have different groups of episodes in different lists?
Example:
1. Eureka Seven 1-5, X-Men 7-12, Advent Children
2. Hellsing 1-2, Eureka Seven 25-30, Gurren Lagaan 10-15

Awww damn why did I have to lose, this sounds really interesting.
I'm glad that you didn't re-use the same rules from last tournament, especially the one that enabled the two competitors from selecting different songs. Sure it made it alot easier for the editors, but it inevitabely brought musical taste into the judging. Both videos being to the same song is a requirement for maximum fairness in judging imo
On that note, all in all, I really want to get out of my system that I was really dissapointed with the juding of Round 3. I would've decided on another winner on over half of the matches I've seen. And no, in many cases it wasn't just that both videos were really good and my personal taste prefered one over the other. And no, my own match not included. I won't say which matches, since I don't want to discourage those who made it this far.
Also, I want to see a final between 3 different Nationalities! Gogogo, remaining non-Americans in Bracket 1 or 2

You know what would make that even more fair? Both editors use the same source footage too.JCD wrote:Sure it made it alot easier for the editors, but it inevitabely brought musical taste into the judging. Both videos being to the same song is a requirement for maximum fairness in judging imo
