Can we upload anything other than an AMV? (details inside)

[ranmaman]

I tried searching for a similar subject but failed to find anything so if this exists in another manner please let me know and you can ignore this.

Waht i mean by "other than an amv" is like Funny clips - sorta in the way of AMVHELL with not music but still audio from movies or such but still anime related.

I did send one into submission for the AMVHELL but i have yet to here anything from there so figured I'd ask here first before uploading it and making a total ass of myself....if i haven't already.

As long as the video is anime, and not just solid video/audio clips of the show (i.e., no direct piracy), you're good to go. There are no rules regarding audio at all.

Yea, basically as kit says, it has to be 2 criteria.

1) MOST of whatever video you upload has to be anime.

2) MOST of whatever you upload has to be in some way edited/altered from the original, most notably with audio replaced. This audio does NOT have to be "music" - and what is "music" is debatable anyway.

Mashed-up collections of original footage with original audio in place are NOT appropriate and I would strongly advise against that. The .org's etiquette is to follow a "fair use" practice and one of the arguments we make for "fair use" is that we are not 'stealing' original material, but substantially altering it with some creative merit. Having unaltered collections of copyrighted material with original audio would hurt that argument for us, so we ask you that you don't. Things like fandubs which take extended amounts of unedited video but replace the audio are also generally not appropriate - if it's shorter bits and parodies with altered audio and limited editing, okay. If it's extended lengths of unedited copyrighted video with replaced audio, that's not good either.

But if what you're posting is altered - i.e. it's not necessarily music but still sets edited anime footage to some form of other audio, you're all good. Sometimes there's not a clear line, but as a rule MOST of the length of any video you upload should fall under that description.

all right from what I've read seems like I'm good - I'll upload it and you guys can let me know if you think its OK. Is it OK to link the video in here when its done as opposed to the announcement thread - i put a video up a couple days ago - but i figure if i put it here and you guys think its not acceptable then I'll remove it

It's fine to upload those here, but most people don't normally bother to upload a short, single clip like that. If you have a lot of those clips, most people would generally combine them into their own "amvhell-sort-of-thing"

So far that's the only one I've made and i know your busy Zarx so wasnt expecting an imidiate reply to see if this gets accepted or not but i just wanted to get some feedback from others on weather or not tehy found it funny - so i'm hoping this doesn't hurt my chances on getting accepted to a mini
