Posting Partially Complete Videos...

Well, unless a /major/ disaster happens in my life, I'm finishing this video. It's screaming to be made.

By the way, if you want, check it out at http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=14315

All it is, si the eyes fading in, and then out

I was hoping for at least 30 secs of video.

I've got another 5-6 seconds actually done, but I didn't have time to upload them before I ran out of the house this morning.

Hey mwalker,

Videos should not be entered into the catalog until they are completed. If you want to have 1 or 2 people give you some constructive criticism as you complete your video, that is fine; just give it to them privatly. But mass distributing a partially completed video is dumb. It makes you look like someone who can't complete a video or get it right the first time so they have to re-tweak it and re-tweak it and re-tweak it again. None of the good, well respected video creators would ever enter or mass distribute a video that was not complete.

The Golden Donut rule for uploading videos will be one upload per video; that's it. You should upload your final, completed video only. You don't get a second upload to replace it with. (Well, maybe I will implement it so that you can have the possibility to re-upload after a year or so of the initial upload because of the changing methods of video compression with better quality, but that will be at least a year after the Donut opens.)

So, to sum up: Partially completed videos should not be entered into the catalog.

Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^

Hey Phade,

I entered my incomplete video so I could point people to it in order for them to read about it rather than explain it over and over again. I don't put the beta downloads up though. If that's a problem, by all means get rid of it. I'll live.

Nope. That's against the rules.

Hey flint_the_dwarf,

The trick to that is to not tell them what you are working on.

As long as you actually finish the video, that will be fine. I just don't want unnecessary entries cluttering up the database. I have better things to do than to go around cleaning up stuff.

Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^
