Most contests will allow for anime-themed games (i.e. the FF series, etc) to be used as footage.
However, the CGI from the early FF games isn't the clearest in the world. And even with FFX, you can only watch so many vids before you've seen it all. Only game footage I've seen in a competition was at Anime Boston, which had two FF vids (both by the same guy, IIRC) with... well, iffy video quality.

But, "GUN KATA!" Won something, and it was live-action....Fungie½ wrote:First off, I couldn't decide weither this belongs in the General AMV forum or the AMV Contests forum, so mods, feel free to move this wherever you please ^_^
Lately I've been seeing a lack of non-anime/VG videos that have made the finals in AMV contests. For example, their were quite a few FF videos sent to Otakon, none made the contest. In AWA Pro, 3 non-anime videos were submitted, but they all got so few votes that the non-anime category was dropped and none were nominated for any of the other categories.
Is it just that people have been more adapt to seeing anime music videos and thus shrug off non-anime ones or is it the fact the non-anime videos lately haven't been as great? I can't seem to figure it out and was wondering what others thought might be the reason.

There were quite a few good live action videos in expo imo.

Dammit Sarah read the damn thread before you unleash the scathing wittay-ness upon us next time.SarahtheBoring wrote:Or perhaps they just like anime more, or they're actually reading the rules. I mean, it's an ANIME video contest. I wouldn't be caught dead sending a non-anime vid to an anime vid contest. There are other contests for that.
Nothing personal, Fungie, but I really don't feel much sympathy for the vidders there. I've even made non-anime vids, but I know how to read the rules and send things to the right contests.

If there's a music video contest that's designed to include non-anime videos, then maybe you'd expect to see non-anime videos winning it. But we would you think that things that are not AMVs should do well in AMV contests?

It's mostly FF that is overused/saturated as opposed to other games. There was a nice Radiohead/Parasite Eve that won an award in Pro two years ago, but it doesn't seem to be in the org database.dokool wrote:Most contests will allow for anime-themed games (i.e. the FF series, etc) to be used as footage.

If I could somehow cpature the footage(I'm working on buying stuff for that now) I'd be working on a Shadow Hearts AMV.
That's original. ANd it's a good game.
Too bad hardly anyone's heard of it. =\

It all leads to the eternial qustion that has plaqued music video creators for atleast.. a week or so.
If it's good will it do well in contests?
Yep, it will... but I can't help it if the non-anime videos suck
