Well, of course, if it weren't any good, no one would care to vote for it. There would also be a built-in incentive not to produce total crap in that rare and unusual footage, as well as rare and unusual songs, are something you'd tend to want to show to the best advantage; by using these materials, you're showing you've got something cool that not many other people do. A fairly good example would be that "Center of the Sun" video I saw which combined Metropolis (a movie not everyone has seen or understood) with music by Conjure One (who's that?). It probably wouldn't win in this category, but it would definitely get a fair number of votes.SarahtheBoring wrote:It's not exactly a video editing skill... you could slap together a vid in five minutes from a super-obscure anime, but does that make it a good video?
Of course, on the other hand, there might be an incentive to use really cheesy anime that no one likes or wants to use with really crappy music no one has ever heard of. If this were done the right way, though, it would make a great comedy video. (This works by the same principle that causes some people to fill their days with laughter watching B-grade films.) For example, a song that just drips with mournful sentimentalism set to footage of the not-so-regrettable death of a rather forgettable character in an anime that never should have been made could be outrageously funny. I would vote for that!
