Re: Sakura-Con 2024 AMV Contest - DEADLINE: Saturday, February 3rd

Hey, not sure if it's just me, but whenever I click on the sheet to check the AMV status, it always says there's no connection available no matter what. I tried going on my laptop and phone and have connected to different wifi, as well as trying to open it with different Google accounts and it says...

Re: AMV Contests Banning or Discouraging Editor-created Subtitles?

[giant wall of text that didn't address the reply at all] Please go back and actually read my reply, because it's clear you had not. To reiterate, a potential solution at the operations/technical/presentation level is being discussed (though granted, nothing is solid yet) that would go above and be...

Re: Sakura-Con 2024 AMV Contest - DEADLINE: Saturday, February 3rd

(Though, did the rules change slightly before the deadline? I could have sworn there was a shorts category, with a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 90 seconds, and shorts are still listed once as something that an editor can submit, but when I was reviewing the rules again prior to submitting...

Re: AMV Contests Banning or Discouraging Editor-created Subtitles?

I think one of my key arguments here is that subtitles are, undoubtedly, an accessibility tool. There are laws requiring them to make content more accessible, even if not in the case of AMV contests specifically. Subtitles aren't like backflips in figure skating or American cartoons in AMVs. They p...

Re: AMV Contests Banning or Discouraging Editor-created Subtitles?

I opened up a conversation about this in the Sakura-Con contest thread , but a separate thread is more appropriate. Most of my personal thoughts on the topic are summed up in this post , but the short of it is that I find rules banning (or even strongly discouraging) editor-created subtitles (for s...

Re: Sakura-Con 2024 AMV Contest - DEADLINE: Saturday, February 3rd

I think the spirit is AMVs are MUSIC videos. Therefore, I think the idea is that it's for people to enjoy the music. (so, to some degree, it's already exclusionary, because not everyone enjoys music for one reason or another.) Disclaimer - i myself is quite new to this space... still also learning....

Re: What do these contest rules mean exactly?

A) No Clipshow Entries – Reels of micro-AMVs (AKA “AMV-Hell”) will not be accepted. B) No “Low Effort” Entries – Entries that consist largely of unedited segments of video may be disqualified. Those look like rules 6 and 8 from Sakura-Con's AMV Contest Rules, respectively. Those were written by me,...

Re: Sakura-Con 2024 AMV Contest - DEADLINE: Saturday, February 3rd

Interested in submitting! I just have a couple of questions. Hello, and welcome! I'll be glad to answer your questions! First, are AMVs with voiceovers prohibited? While I could potentially remove voiceovers from my AMVs, as they are always paired with the music, I think that'd really be to each AM...
