IC Source tiering?

[JaddziaDax]

but the problem with that Pwolf is that not everyone has the same sources..

However I do agree with your statement that's how it should be done... often times they are done with "whatever is sitting on my hd" at the time.

I'm just saying, if you're that worried about your source being your handicap then only do an IC with the same video sources. Otherwise, make sure your judges are good and aren't going to judge your video based on animation quality.

Completely agreed. I was playing devil's advocate.

I was mostly trying to argue his ability to like anything based on quality of editing alone. LIKE it, not appreciate.

I don't have to entirely like every single thing about a video for it to win a vote from me. As I said, most of weather or not I "like" a video is not based on sources but weather or not I like the concept and execution. In other words: the EDITING. You must be getting some pretty bad judges if they can't see past the sources. IC in my opinion is rarely about the sources, but more so about the editor's ability.

Ah yes, and since your "god tier" is so easy to edit with it's sweeping camera movements and intentional music sync, and your "shit tier" is so hard with all its duplicate animation and still frames, shouldn't it be named the other way around? Cause the way you make it sound, it's as though you need to be a "god editor" to be able to work with and win with a "shit tier" anime.

*Anyway as someone already mentioned the "quality tiering" would all be subjective... if you really wanted to make an IC completely fair you would use the same exact sources as your opponent.

I GET IT! you can see past liking a video, he said he could like anything that was "well edited"

Nobody consciously takes sources into account, how many times do i have to say this. It's easier to build a comfortable chair when you have cushions already made as opposed to having wood and some cotton. that's all i was getting at.

...srsly? the tier labels have to do with the sources involved, and i just stole those names from 4chan so you don't have to attack the structure, it doesn't matter, this would never happen anyway.

Good idea, good different idea, i'm sure a lot of people already do that, or should do that.

If editors are on the "same (exact) skill level" then the IC is to prove who can make a better presentation in a short amount of time.

Is a presenter not going to make a better presentation if he has an electronic whiteboard w/internet and a pen tablet as opposed to the presenter using a traditional blackboard and chalk? It's possible, but these are presenters on the exact same skill level, most likely the whiteboard-wielding clone will do better as he has more tools and more resources available to him, and unless the blackboard clone is good at drawing, he's going to have a rougher time getting his audience to visualize his idea or message or w/e the hell he's presenting.

Herpderp sources being easy to edit with are subjective, again. To you perhaps .hack is a cushion, to somebody else it may be the wood and cotton.

Herpderp the video source doesn't matter contumaciously or unconsciously.

In the end, most people ALREADY choose a list of source they enjoy editing with anyway. That's why you're allowed to list your 5 sources, whatever they may be.

This topic is retarded.

This thread is an example of what happens when AMV creators come from a visual/effects mindset instead of a fan video mindset. The footage isn't any easier to edit with because editing will be dictated by your concept. It's only as hard as you make it.

The strongest point of IC/IE was that it was a way to present AMVs to an audience in a unique venue besides a straight up AMV contest. There is a vast difference between doing one of these online competitions and one that is actually at a convention before a large audience of strangers. I would like to point out that if you're a pro you just show up and edit. Fuck watching any shows you hadn't seen already; it's more fun to pull shit out of your ass under pressure.
