megea crap special

Post by princess myu » Fri Sep 01, 2006 5:54 pm

With the new year coming in lest then 18 weeks (4 and ½ months)
I thought I should make a megea crap special

Again, same as my newest MEP, most of the rules are from my sister, Niji Tsuki's, Disney Tribute Contest, but re-written to fit this thread (I think she's a little mad at me though :evil: )

Niji Tsuki off-screen: You better frikkin' believe it! Plagia-frikkin'-rizer!


:lol: (nervous laugh) *ahem* anyway...

What the heck is megea crap anyway?

Songs you could not use all of it. Like oh that opening would make a good music video but the rest of the songs no good or that one part makes a good music video but nothing else does.

CONTEST STARTS: September 1’st 2006
CONTEST ENDS: December 29TH 2006
Check back weekly for updates.

YOU’RE OBJECTIVE:

Make a music video worthy of the megea crap name

This week begins: September 9th, 2006
this week's deadline: September 15th, 2006

Prize:
your avater as a ham-ham

Contest ends: December. 29th 2006
Video premieres: January 1’st 2007

Don't understand what all that means?

READ ALL OF THIS POST THOROUGHLY FIRST!

What is it?
A compilation of music videos Song you could not use all of it. Like oh that open would make a good music video but the rest of the songs no good or that one part makes a good music video but nothing else does.

The Contest! ^. ^ How does it work?

Every Friday I will judge the videos and the I like the best will be put in the video

What Anime Should I Use?

Any anime that you find best fits the song you’re using. There’s a multitude of anime out there. Be creative! Be original! But above all – Have fun!

There is one exception to the use of anime:
HENTAI WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. You will be reported immediately.
This must be “Org-able”, meaning it must follow the rules of the Org. This will be a Local download, and besides!
And you can use as many animes as are needed. If one anime suits a certain part of the song than another anime, then go ahead. Whatever makes your video the best!
Also, original animation and drawings are welcomed. If that’s how you want to do your video, go for it!
What if I only have pics and gifs? Try your best. You never know what might come out! (But, if you’re using fanarts that are not yours, please give credit where credit is due. Don’t know who made the fanart? Then it’d be better not to use it at all.) no blood gut or stuff that can't be put local

What Song Should I Use?
No rap cussing that’s all

How many songs can you use?
One per video, please!

Sound Quality:

I request that the sound quality be as crisp as a new dollar bill, i.e. CD quality. After all, the sound puts “Music” in “Music Video.” If one sucks, they may as well both suck.
And have the volume at a decent level. I don’t need it blaring in my ears, but I don’t want it so low only a flea can hear it. If I have to turn it up or down, the sound quality might be in jeopardy. For the final vid, I’m going to level out the volume, but the less I have to alter it, the less chance there is of bad sound quality.

You must use less then half the song and do not fade out you sound.
Songs can be anywhere from 2 seconds to half the song and must send an opening 2 seconds -15 seconds

Video Quality:

The minimum requirement is “Medium” quality. I understand that not every DVD ripper is high quality, but go for the highest possible. It may take up quite a bit of space, but once the video is made and sent to me, you can compress it or re-save it in a lower format for your own hard drive. But if your footage is of bad quality (i.e., color unintentionally changes to black and white, or inverted, or there’s a “ghost” image, or pixel breakage and so on) then your video is in danger of being looked over for a better video.
I will not, however, disqualify a video based on quality if the idea behind the video is a very good one.

Aspect Ratio:

There may be some of you out there saying, “Asp-ah What-now?” Aspect ratio is a fancy way of saying, “Movie Screen or TV Screen?” Browse around your video editor (under things like Tools or Preferences or Options, etc.) and you’ll find something along the lines of Aspect Ratio and then choose 4:3 for TV (Full screen) or 16:9 for Movie (Wide screen)
For most people, I know they enjoy watching things on full screen, so 4:3 it is! I won't disqualify you for using 16:9, but most animes are made for TV so they're probably already TV sized. If you put it in 16:9, it'll come out all squishy! -_- Now however, if you're using an anime that's a movie (like Advent Children or something like that) the movie comes in Movie size. You can keep it 16:9, or you can make it 4:3. TV-sizing it doesn't really hurt it that much, but if you don't like it, you don't have to TV size it.

Video Format and File Type:

(Also under Options ^.^)
NTSC is usually the default for most of your American computers, so send it in that format.
Also, I don’t care if you’re using the Windows Movie Maker. Many people are very discriminatory about this, but don’t judge a movie by its program. A person could have great ideas and the ambition to use any combination of programs along with the WMM to create a really great video.
As for file type, basically any video file except for something like Real Media (*.rm) Quick Time (*.mov) or a Flash file (*.sfw) unless you save that Flash as an .avi
Also, I want you to name your file distinctively. Put the movie first, followed by the song and anime, and then your username (and/or what you want to be called in the credits).

How many videos can I make?

3 and an opening(must send thais in)

if you download megea crap 11 you'll see what i mean about an opening
it's a short sound clip any where between 2 seconds to 15 seconds
a sound clip with video
the best will go to week 2 till the week 18
then the best of the best will be the opening to the whole video

How do I send my entry in?!

The best ways to do it are:
to use YouSendIt, an online mailing service that allows you to send up to 100MB via email for free and it stays available for 7 days (that’s why the cut-off dates are weekly). Click to go to YouSendIt

http://www.yousendit.com/

or to use FileFactory.com which let's you send up to 300MB if your video comes out really large. But you must copy and paste the video link into another email in order for me to download it. Click to go to FileFactory

http://www.filefactory.com/

Send your entries to:

sailorkitty_8@hotmail.com

in your email, tell me:
1) Your username (or what you would like to be called in the credits)
2) What anime you’re using
3) What song you’re using
4) And name of skit


Who’s judging the video entries?

The judging will be done by Rose Studios. No guest judges will be used. Rose Studios is the final authority of this contest.
I’m simply warning you right now that I don’t care to hear anyone are whining during or after this contest about, “Oh! My video was bette-e-e-rrrr! Aw! That’s unfa-a-i-rrr!” NO WHINERS!
Be a winner, not a whiner.

How are the videos judged?

Videos are judge on the same criteria as Opinions. If you've ever given or received an Opinion for a video, you know what to go for. If you haven't, I highly suggest opening this in another window and reading them over later:

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... nscore.php

In addition to the normal Opinion criteria, I will also be judging the video on how well the anime you've chosen fits

How do we know who wins which round?

The winner will be announced on the forum the following week of the cut-off date. The winner’s video will be available through our homepage only until the video premieres on janaruy 1’st, 2007. (Link will be posted once first winner is announced).
All other videos will not be posted (i.e., “Runner up? What is this 'runner up' of which you speak?) However, the video creators are welcomed to upload their videos to the Org, BUT ONLY AFTER THE CONTEST IS OVER AND THE FINAL PROJECT HAS PREMIERED.

Have questions or comments?

Either posts them in this thread or Private Message me through the little PM Button. If a Private Message I receive is of great importance, I will update the post to fit it. there is also a wild card one one who gets it is put in with that weeks winner

I have a weird segment that might count. I'll just submit every week because I'm bored and I have no life. I even made a new avatar just for this.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?a ... D959F6F666

Anime: Club to Death Angel Dokuro-chan
Song: Dark Chest of Wonders
Artist: Nightwish

I put the info for you so you don't have to go back and ask anyone for it. Well...I hope someone else posts a vid in the next four days...I'll advertise it as much as possible.

And congrats, you got my 100th post ^^

I'm sitting at school, bored, so I thought I'd amuse myself.

"I like-a to say, 'Holy Crap!'"

Yes, that was pointless. No, I don't care. And yes, I thought I'd annoy my sister with a pointless post because she would see someone made a post and she'd think it was important, so she gets her hopes up, and it turns out it just me being bored.

Stnanks happens.

Seacrest, out.

(singing) I friggin' hate Sibbie...
