Eibfreak · Post by **Eibfreak** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 3:01 pm

Thats right, a new AMV contest, but this one is a bit different. Each month a new dificulty will be presented, sort of like Iorn Chef.

This months AMV Challenge is Irony, the video must be built around Irony. The winner will be the one with the best use of irony in their AMV.

I am providing an samplpe from my own videos as an example of the kind of video this contest is looking for.

Example: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=66630

Post your info as such

Name:
Link:
Anime:
Song:

Description:

In the description you MUST explain how you video is ironic (such as explaining how the music and video work with and against each other, explain any inside jokes that the video contatins that you must have seen the origional anime for, etc.) The better the descriptioin of what was going on in your mind, the better idea the judges get into how good your video is, so dont skimp on it.

The judgeing will be done by me and two friends who are my partners in AMV crime. Entries must be in by May 5th.

Good luck and may the best video win

/me waits for the hordes of unenlightened who constantly mistake mere coincidence for irony

Just to let everyone know, using the obvious Alanis Morissette song or joke about the song is not ironic.
