Kumoricon 2011 AMV Contest - Preliminary Rules Page UP!

[Geirr]

The preliminary (let's say, semi-final) rules page is up for the Kumoricon 2011 Contest!
Questions, comments, & suggestions welcome!


Full rules page here: http://www.opusnet.com/guy1656/k2011-amv.htm

Here are SIX categories:

1. INTENSITY: Similar to an 'Action' category. A strong and solid audio and visual story engaging the audience with impact, high suspense, and gripping scenes throughout.

2. INSTRUMENTAL: This category is an open format, using any anime and any style of AMV, with the only criterion being that the music does not contain any discernible lyrics and scat or nonsense syllables either. Music may use the human voice as a wordless instrument.
Two examples:
Music Sample 1
Music Sample 2

3.RETRO: Each submission must satisfy BOTH of these conditions below:
a. All music and sources must be at least five (5) years old, and
b. The sum, in years, of the latest (youngest) video source and audio source must equal AT LEAST 30.

4. RANDOM AMUSEMENT: This is a broader category than Comedy / Parody; it also includes bizarre or off-beat works that con-fuse as well as a-muse.

5. TRAILERS: Includes fake commercials, TV spots, and movie and game trailers. May use actual advertising audio or a fictitious creation in the style of a commercial, trailer, or fake episode opening credits. Serious and intriguing dual-openers will also show in this category. Comedy trailers may get redirected to RANDOM AMUSEMENT.

6. EFFECTS This is where the high-speed music and flashy stuff meet. Take your Bonine(R) and buckle in!

Content is PG-13 (one 'illicit exposure' up to 0.2 sec duration,) with ONE explicit word allowed in the lyrics (My add.)

PM me for typos to fix.

We intend to make the rules final by 1-Mar-11.

And a cookie to the first person who guesses where Music Sample 2 came from...

It's from the Rick Wakeman album, "Journey to the Centre of the Earth."

I would prefer Girl Scout Tagalongs for my cookie, thank you very much...

Yes - On vinyl from 1974! - PERFECT SCORE!

Now, I don't know if I can find any Girl Scouts in the Philippines.
How about a picture of the group "AKB48:"
