Trailer: Star Wars Episode Three

Suzuki_Akira · Post by **Suzuki_Akira** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 9:45 pm

I recently made what I believe to be the first trailer on this site for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, as footage is limited to just the initial teaser trailer released by the official Star Wars site. This trailer is currently hosted by PLPFilms. Combining text with dramatic music to bring an epic feel to the upcoming movie. Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Star Wars: Episode Three by myself, The Perfect Soldier.

Unfortunately, you aren't supposed to have this video entered.

New Video Entry Rules wrote:You should only enter videos that meet the following criteria:

[. . .]

2. The video is an anime music video. For the purposes of this site, an anime music video is defined as a music video where the majority of the footage comes from anime. For the purposes of this site, anime-style video gamecut scenes (such as Final Fantasy) are considered "anime".

But it's a direct link, so it should be exceusable

I don't make the rules. If they've changed it, they should say so on the video entry page (the one I linked to). Note that that's not for uploading to the server.

So then why are many other sources that aren't anime on the Choose Anime page? If you feel strongly about it, we can talk it over with Absolute Destiny.

Because you can have non-anime stuff in an AMV - but only if the anime footage is preponderant.

I don't feel strongly about it. I was just telling you in case your entry gets deleted and you don't know why.

No, it shouldn't. Those were new video entry rules, not upload rules.

It's already been stated that entering non-anime videos into the database will DQ the offender from the VCAs, at the least.

Because they were added to the database before the crackdown on non-anime videos.

Also because it's entirely possible for an AMV to also have non-anime footage in it. As long as most of the footage is anime, it's considered an AMV. (Don't ask me to define "most" as it pertains to this definition, because I don't make the rules around here.) But those non-anime sources must still be listed for completeness.

Examples: "It's Tricky to Make a Music Video" contains a short clip from "Clerks". My own "NERV Evening News..." shows Terry Gilliam suffering "a fatal heart attack" in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. AbsoluteDestiny (note: <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... ">Absolute Destiny</a> != <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... Destiny</a>)'s "Do It Right (Shake It!)" has live-action footage near the end, IIRC.

Just to note, exceusable != acceptable
