Challenge 2 - Persuasive Video - Closed

[xSunshineRain]

Wow! Your own video was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good o.0

[YuesWoman]

Oh god, I am SO SORRY for not finishing my entry. I was way too caught up getting things ready for manifest, the melbourne anime convention, which just happened to be in the same week O_O Between endless sewing, driving, judging and organising of panels for the con, I just didn't have time to finish my entry :( Heck, I haven't even had time to sit down in these last few weeks! I was going to send an apology before the deadline (I haven't been home since Thursday) but I didn't get the chance :(

[YuesWoman]

Ah, word count ran out. Just wanted to say good luck to all the remaining contestants! You're all awesome!! Hmm, now that the convention is over, I don't know what to do with myself! This will be my first free time in ages! Maybe I'll finish my entry just for my youtube account...

Anyway, GOOD LUCK!!!

[TogetherAtLast]

Let me just say, I love this trance song.

[HeroineJunkie47]

Aw, shucks, I was too busy with school to finish my entry =( Oh well, it was fun. Good luck to the remaining finalists!

[dergelbevonderelbe]

Sorry I really had no time to make anything new! I hope one of my already uploaded video is enough to enter!

It´s not my best but it´s one of the longer ones because all my others are too short!

[BethanyJill]

Posted mine! I'm super surprised more responses aren't up since I'm usually one of the last hehe!

[bibiliotina]

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

[animeeditor]

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

animeeditor - It's alright! You can try entering next year when we have another audition round. :)

[animeeditor]

xD thank you very very much ^^

[BottleItUpMichelle]

Mine's up.

[acmmproductions]

Entry posted :) All I have to say is I hope everyone enjoys and good luck to the other vidders! =)

[MytubePr0ductions]

Well I've posted my video so I hoping everyone enjoys it and thanks to the judges once again for letting me get this far :)

[BottleItUpMichelle]

This may be a dumb question, but I was doing a TV Show, and I wanted to do it; gosh, I don't know how to explain it...

Like it says "Next Sunday.."

and

"With only two episodes left until the end of the season"

I was wondering is that too exclusive and not persuasive...

ACKK I don't know.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

BottleItUpMichelle - That is fine, it's pretty much you persuading the viewer to watch the season finale. Just make sure you include some of the story as well. Good luck.

[BottleItUpMichelle]

Thank you!! :D

[mse63]

lol, I didn't first realize that the song during the SPN example is actually "Imagine". it's a "freaking you out" kind of a cover...xD

anyway, nice idea for the round, looking forward to seeing the result of it from everyone ;D

[RandHrShipper1]

This challenge is one I am particularly interested in seeing the entries for! It's such a good idea and I hope you all keep it for next year! Excellently made example, too, girls! :D

[KHIIFINALMIX]

Noooo, my comment didn't go through. D;

-incredibly late comment of d00m-

Ahhh O_O I made it?! =D I'm so happy! Thank you. ^___^

And I can't wait to start the trailer!

Good luck everyone. ^ ^

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

gaby0189 - Asking a question doesn't make you an airhead! Don't worry about it, it's better to ask questions cause it avoids misunderstandings. We prefer you ask then just... sit back. :)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

gaby0189 - Well, I would assume that "b" is alright since it is also used on TV. As long as it's used on a minimal level I would say it's alright.

[Lizsjarofdirt]

*grooves to music* gawd i love techno. A-freaking-mazing example. Good luck everyone who made it through! Cant wait to be persuaded into getting addicted to another show or movie or whatever.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

Lol well it's actually not techno. It's hard trance. But we love it all. Causes for great text vids for the contest.

Thanks a lot.

We are also definitely looking forward to the entries as well.

[Lizsjarofdirt]

XD I can never tell them apart. I'm musically challenged.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

Lol, being able to tell the difference between music genre is hard since they so sound similar. :D

[xEternallyDazzledx]

Completely agreed (:

I kind of need to know the artist..

anyone here know?! haha

[xscarsxofxremiinence]

its by a perfect circle, i think

[xEternallyDazzledx]

oh sorry I didn't see your earlier comment!

thank you so much! (:

[xscarsxofxremiinence]

no problem! :)

they're a really good band.

you should also check out they're song called 'counting bodies like sheep' c:

[xEternallyDazzledx]

I probably will, once I find a song I really like I usually like to look at the band's other songs, thanks =]

[xscarsxofxremiinence]

im glad to help! c:

[sabrinajoan]

a perfect circle <3

[xEternallyDazzledx]

Curious - is that a John Lennon cover used in the example? It's friggin amazing either way.

[BottleItUpMichelle]

WOWOWOW. Congrats to all those who got through!! I'm so happy to have, and I am so scared for this round.

[SweetBrooke23]

Congrats to everyone :D This challenge is definitly challenging lol!

Your example is beyond words, it gives me goosebumps! So wowish... it makes it hard for us to compete with it lmao!! XD

And thanks so much for letting me pass to this round and for the review as well! :)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

SweetBrooke23 - The example isn't meant to be something to compete against, just more of guidelines to what you could do.

No need to thanks us for passing, since that was you on your own. :)

But we appreciate the thanks on the review, it seems lots of people don't seem to know how long those actually take...

Thank you for the Thank you. Good luck, looking forward to your entry.

[idobelieveinfairies8]

Geez, I'd love to see a complete version of the sample video. That was awesome!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

idobelieveinfairies8 - We could get it done in the future but it just provided for this challenge.

[forbiddenloveaddict]

Oooh this is going to be a very interesting round! I can't wait to see what the contestants will come up with! Congratulations to all who made it through to the 2nd round!

[VirtuososV]

wow, this theme sounds really coolio 8D

can't wait to see the people's entries and very nice example. *O*

[Clover27]

This is the round I didn't want to come so soon. :P Trailers are so hard to do! And finding an epic song that hasn't already been used in previous fantrailers are so hard!

Congrats to all who have passed to the next round, this competition gets more interesting with each passing round!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

Clover27 - Music selection is definitely hard for making trailers. A good thing now is that it isn't just heavy music but instead actual bands with lyrics.

Glad you think so.

[AisicsRule]

Holy cow! Those awards are gorgeous!! Great job you two! The reviews are great too, and very indepth. They really reflect the judging process and what we were looking for. I'm sure they'll be very help to all the participants.

Congratulations to all that got through! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with for this challenge. :D

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

AisicsRule - Thanks a lot. Took a while to get them done. haha. Reviews were killer to write. We hope they can help the participants cause that is what they are there for. Shame if people didn't read them.

[kingdomkey1121]

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

MegLayna - It's always excited for the entries. :)

[MegLayna]

*Blushes*

Well, how can you blame me? This Contest is like...the reunion of ridiculously awesome vidders doing what they enjoy and do best, making me happy in the process!

I'm hooked.

[acmmproductions]

First of all I have to say congratulations to all who got through!! :D And second: that example was perfect! I'm already thinking about the fandom I'll use and I can't wait to see everybody's entries :)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

acmmproductions - That's great! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[jkprojects]

This was a really great way to show the clip and then showing the final execution. well done D&G.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

jkprojects -  Thanks Jonathon. We tried to make it as understandable as possible :)

[all4harrypotter]

What fandom is this? :)

[LuminousMetallic]

Supernatural. You should check it out, it's really good! If you want a little preview on what the show got to offer, you should check out Smokeyfiizz . They make amazing Supernatural videos.

[all4harrypotter]

Really? I love Smokeyfiizz but I've never watched any of their Supernatural videos! I will =)

[LuminousMetallic]

You should check out "Running up that hill" first. That really gives a good preview of the show.

[LuminousMetallic]

Wow! Your example was incredible! You really have to upload the whole thing because that was really a beauty. I LOVED the part at 1:01-1:02 where everything lights up with the beat. You truly knows how to master vidding.

It's really sad to hear HBHO won't be judging anymore. You're sort of the golden trio together in SYTYCV.

Congratulations to everyone who made it to the next round! Can't wait to see your entries!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

LuminousMetallic - Thank you! We might finish it one day, but it might take a while. That was a part we enjoyed as well, its very cool looking :)

Yes, HBHO was a big contribution to the competition. However, she will be helping out when ever she can. So she is not completely gone :) I am also looking forward to seeing the entries! I'm sure everyone will come up with something great.

[YuesWoman]

Dude, totally.

[TemariKind123]

YAAAY!! :D Congrats, Kori! :D <333 And that example was amazing. o_o

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

TemariKind123 - Thank you!

[aandbreatheme]

It says on your website is has the be 40 seconds. Does that mean 40 seconds or longer or just 40 seconds?

[balistik94]

It says a minimum of 40 seconds so 40 seconds or longer.

[MytubePr0ductions]

Thanks for putting me through to the next round and congratulations to all the others!! For the song choice in the video are we allowed to use more instrumental trailer type music or does it have to use a a more a proper song with lyrics?

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

MytubePr0ductions - No problem, you deserved it. You are allowed to use any type of music that you want

[OViolentDarkKnightO]

Amazing example...I'm looking forward to seeing the entries!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

OViolentDarkKnightO - Thank you :) We are looking forward to it as well.
