RULES
* |
|
Each video entry must belong strictly to ONE category, and it cannot be mixed with other categories. |
* |
|
You can enter up to 4 videos. If you're entering more than one video, then it must NOT be in the same category as your previous one. You can only submit one video per category. You must also specify that you are sending more than one video when submitting them. Any additional videos will be ignored. |
* |
|
Non-Animorph clips will not be allowed unless the video falls under the Non-Cannon category. |
* |
|
All Non-Cannon videos must contain an additional summary explaining what is going on in the description box. |
* |
|
All video entries must be uploaded to Youtube, with the category, song name, and artist stated in the description. |
* |
|
Plagiarism from someone else's work will not be tolerated. By this, we mean that you cannot take someone else's original work and use it as your own, such as artwork, or clips from someone else's videos. Certain edits and cuts taken specifically from someone else's music video will be immediately disqualified. We recommend all of our contestants to watermarks their videos to avoid this. |
CATEGORIES
>> COUPLES / RELATIONSHIPS
This is open past just romance couples, but to relationships between families, enemies, and friends. (example: Tobias & Rachel; Tom & Jake; Visser One & Visser Three, etc)
>> CAST-CENTRIC
Videos that are about all of the members of Animorphs.
>> CHARACTER-TRIBUTE
Videos that are centered around just one specific character.
>> NON-CANNON
These are for videos that are used for Fan-Fiction or perhaps pairings with characters on another show or book series. Anything that doesn't necessarily happen in the regular Animorphs series.
JUDGES & SELECTION PROCESS
Morfowt, Blue22, and Xtrunkx are the current judges.
When your videos are submitted, they will be rated on the following areas:
>> EDITING
Is everything synchronized well with the music, or did you simply just paste a copy of the entire episode with a song over it? This will be very important with judging the rest of your video.
>> VIDEO MESSAGE / SONG CHOICE
There are no restrictions with what choices of songs you pick as long as it works with what you're trying to say in your video. Does the song work with what is being shown in the video?
>> CREATIVITY / ORIGINALITY / CONSISTENCY
Was there something new that you brought along with your music video? Is there something in there that separates it from every other video that has been also submitted?
Did you stay with one style (e.g. black & white, super speed, etc), or jump all over the place? Using more than one style isn't discouraged to use in your videos, but it's more important on how everything worked in the final product.
