That's what I mean, the name 'originality' may be too confuseing, it doesn't mean ORIGINALity, but effectiveness like you said.
Um, no.
Originality is just what it looks like.
Effectiveness is supposed to go under the Overall score, not Originality.
If you've been considering a video's effectiveness when giving it an Originality score, then you've been doing it wrong.
Consider trythil's <a href="

HEY! I remember downloading that video now! First AMV I EVER downloaded yet I wouldn't give it the time of day. But it bodes the question, why give something high originality that you hate?? I'da given that a low originality score definiteley. Just cuz somebodys got balls (or a weird sense of style) you don't go praising the geek with the underwear over his pants.
Another example. Say Shaq wants to show Dwayne Wayde who's boss by out scoreing him all the time. What would Shaq have to do?? He'd have to become a shooter. Shaq is not a shooter. How pissed would everybody be if Shaq put up brick after brick at the 3 point line?? That would get him closer to where he wants to be but ppl would hate him. It's a very unconventional approach but is it original? How bout, where would Karl Malone be if all John Stockton wanted to do was prove his worth? It wouldn't help any cuz he'd just show that he is half the shooter Malone is. It's just easiest to put this in terms of basketball, but when put in terms of anime (where everybody can just do EVERYTHING) we have to look harder. So hard. .... Only the Shinji type charachter in anime seems to have a glaring weekness at some time yet they ALWAYS get over it so... Anyway what you have to do is take the ORIGINAL in ORIGINALity in a different perspective. From the objective to the subjective view, you don't become original by going for the soccer goal every time you come up to bat! You have to PASS, it's not original if you do it the same way anybody else could every single time. So yes, ORIGINALITY does mean ORIGINAL, but it would be incredibly one sided to judge it that way. If you want a counter example (and WHY I am so gung ho about the issue), try my own video
here. I'm not gonna get into a your word vs. my word arguement but just tell me how original you think that is.... Why?? it's not a freeking repeated series of a dozen still pictures like the other one, it's been done before but WHAT CAN MAKE IT ORIGINAL????
