For this year it could run in 'Intensity' for its pacing and solid, driving, music. Your competition in 'Intensity' would be other works that are just as intense, but may tell a more clear, engaging, and cogent storyline: such as where the viewer gets to really meet an 'A' then a 'B' in opposition to 'A' and we understand why 'A' and 'B' are out there kicking ass or wrecking half of Tokyo in their mecha, and we really WANT one of them to WIN, and we want to feel GOOD when the other guy FAILS. Add a countdown timer to save the world ....
And there are also other strategies for making an AMV intense and you would competing against those other formats and story structures as well...
We can easily handle some blood splatters here and there; while I do not participate in the judges' panel, and they are a different gang each year, the last time the blood-n-gore questions came up they either (a) drew the line at when identifiable bits of organs or guts are clearly depicted, (what, Elfin Lied?) and some members were a bit squeamish about eye trauma (darts, daggers, syringes, etc,) but also (b) blades are as culturally significant to Japan as are firearms in the US, and the long history of chanbara, jidaigekki, and general martial arts flicks have had some previous panels make allowance for dismemberment and decapitations, especially in matters of justice or corporal or capital sentences. You can lop a traitor's head off, especially if your AMV story sets things up so that the audience loves it because he or she damn well deserved it.
I would be happy to throw this at the judges next month if you want to send me a d/l link.
Be sure to include all the other information (music, etc.)
Your ONE f-bomb at the end is permissible, too.
Sweet!! And Lol you want me to send the version with credits??? (aka the f bomb)
