(Another) Avatar AMV Contest!!
Song is "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire
Enjoy the random video!
If you're going to enter, make sure you read the rules carefully. Have fun :)
Please post your entry as a video response.
Rules:
1) Can be any length.
2) Must be your own work. Individual clips may not be taken from other user's AMVs either.
3) You can't enter a video that I have in my favorites already.
4) Must be made using only Avatar; The Last Airbender clips, screenshots, or fanart.
5) Song choice is completely up to you. I won't dock your score just because I don't like the song.
6) Please say which editing program you used in the video description. (Again, this won't affect your score, I'm just curious.)
7) One entry per account, please.
Judging:
There will be three categories for scoring; use of effects(5pts), song/ clip choice(5pts), and emotional response(10pts). Use of effects is based off both the effects you had to work with in your particular editing program, and the style or amount that is appropriate for your song choice and theme. Programs like Sony Vegas won't have an advantage here over Window Movie Maker. Song/clip choice is based on how well the song goes with the theme of your video as well as if the clips match the mood of the song. Things like lip-syncing definitely wouldn't hurt your score in this area. Emotional response is the most important element of a video, in my opinion. It's the feelings a video stirs up in you. It's what makes you laugh or cry when you watch it, and in the end it's the only thing true AMV makers really aim for.
Prizes:
Every entry will get a friend request from me, and a short comment on their video that will include their _/20 score.
Honorable Mentions- (This means that I really liked your video even though it didn't win a prize. I'll hand these out as I see fit.) A 5* rating, and a very detailed message of praise and constructive critique.
3rd - A 5* rating, a very detailed message of praise and constructive critique, and sending the video to all my friends (300).
2nd - A 5* rating, a very detailed message of praise and constructive critique, sending the video to all my friends (300), and favoriting your video.
1st - A 5* rating, a very detailed message of praise and constructive critique, sending the video to all my friends (300), favoriting your video, and subbing you.
***The deadline will be sometime around Christmas break since that's the first chance I'll have to take time to jugde. If December rolls around and you still need more time, just let me know and I'll hold off posting the results until I get yours, as long as it's before New Years.
