Semi-Finals SR Deadline: November 5,2011 [CLOSED]

[xlovetoxicity]

I'm so grateful I got through but I wasn't able to finish my entry in time. Thanks for the opportunity though :) all the entries look so amazing, I probably wouldn't of made the finals any how lol

[FieryGeniusVids]

I'm sorry I couldn't get my entry in - some things came up in real life that were unexpected and I couldn't finish my entry. Thanks for letting me into the senior round! I'll try again next year!

[DaniDandelion]

Apologies that I didn't get my entry in - had to completely defrag my computer etc. so that the video would render in full, then my internet stopped working so all in all not my week.. thanks for putting me through to the senior round anyway, and good luck to everyone :-)

[brionyx509]

I apologise again for all of the hassle for my laptop breaking has caused but have finally managed to complete the entry and submitted it. Hopefully it's not too late! Thank you for your patience.

[violetpop]

I know I'm entering a little late (it's probably already Tuesday in your timezone), but I really hope I can still be accepted :|

[OneLittleLamb]

Doesn't look like I'll be able to give my entery. Having big computer difficulties that won't be fixed until next week. Still, thank you for cutting me through to senior at least, I'll try again next year.

[DaniDandelion]

I've had a rendering problem so I'll have to re-render after college - I'm so so sorry about this! Hopefully it'll be ready in time before monday ends >.<

[DreamyJuL]

I'm uploading now :) thanx for extending the deadline!

[Bloempje721]

I was wondering why my vid isn't in the video response list? Have I forgotten something do I need to change my vid or video description?

[Bloempje721]

@Bloempje721

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

[AleTheHOUSEwife]

Just posted. :) Happy judging!

[gss42x]

I submitted my entry. Can't wait to see the results. 

[CatAtak12]

So can this vid be 4:00 and some seconds or is it a flat 4:00 only?? I think my vid is going to be about 4:30 give or take a few seconds is that going to be ok?

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@CatAtak12 - that's fine

[TheLucifersVessel]

Hey guys, TheNewQueenb here. Just entered my video, hope everythings okay with it. Happy Judging :D

[Markvadass]

All of the entries so far are precious and I wish I could hug them, but I'm only human. I wish everyone the biggest luck and can't wait to know the results, though I WANT ALL OF YOU TO MAKE IT THROUGH. Sorry, I'm just being emotional as always :) Gina, Diana and co-judges, good luck to you all too <3

[jocone123]

Hey awesome ladies! I just submitted my entry and if ever you encounter problems, please do tell me! Have a great day!

[IrreveRANT100]

I SUBMITTED MY ENTRY! *SQUEE!* LOL :)

[TheKG2002]

Hi girls! I responded with my entry yesterday but I haven't seen up added yet. I just wanted to see if you didn't have time to or if I was missing something from the description =)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@TheKG2002 - Just approved it. Sorry for the delay

[BlacksGodDaughter]

Hey girls! My video is blocked in Germany again, I'm currently uploading it to flickr and if you guys need it please let me know!

[DaniDandelion]

I've had an idea, but I'm unsure if it's going to work.. I want to use a song with lyrics, is it ok to keep changing from each emotion to suit the words? and I might have to use clips at times that aren't very high quality, will this affect my score?

[FieryGeniusVids]

I'm thrilled to have made it into this round!

Question: Can I use multiple songs? My idea is that I want to use 3 instrumental pieces that are actually pretty similar sounding -- except for the tone -- to blend together into one piece. I was hoping to use these to help represent my emotions (hate fear hope) alongside my footage & editing.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@FieryGeniusVids Definitely. You can use multiple songs. 

[Tinchy2010]

part 2

oh and voiceovers as well?is it allowed to use them?

(sorry i'm a bit confused)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@Tinchy2010 That is allowed. We have no issue with text or voice overs for this challenge. You can do whatever you please.

[Tinchy2010]

okay, i have a question..

since the main focus should be storytelling, can we use added text as well?

[EscapeToFiction]

I am so happy to start participating in this amazing contest :) One quick question though, are we allowed to repeat an emotion once we have shown it? For example, I'm in the love, fear, regret group and I am wondering if I show love, then fear, then love again and then regret? Thanks again!!!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@EscapeToFiction - That's allowed. Looking forward to seeing your entry! Good luck.

[404ing]

Regarding the emotions, can we use both negative and positive aspects of them?

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@404ing - You are able to use them in any way you wish. If you'd like to do it that way, by all means. Good luck!

[emmafenty95]

Thank you very much for letting me through!It's such an honor for me!

Congrats to everyone and good luck! :)

[EmoLobster]

I am so honored and very thankful to go onto the next round with such an amazing group of editors.

[kleindummlaura]

Wuhuuuuuu! Never thought I'd get here. ^^

[dusted92]

666 views - ha!

[Shanice12OTH]

Can i ask something? in general, can we focus on two people and something that really happened that way? for example showing them in love, then there was something that brought fear and regret? Cause i keep thinking and thinking, and i might have already started something like this..and i love it so far.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@Shanice12OTH - That's fine, you can show the emotions in any form. If you wish to show it through a relationship between two people then by all means. Good luck!

[RaikoElric]

Good job everyone who made it to SR! :D I wish I could've joined ya'll this year but there's always season 4!! Everyone's videos were super amazing <333

[LeahMarie624]

got a quick question, my group is fear hate hope, is it ok if I put some sadness in it?

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@LeahMarie624 - Sure, you can display your emotions any way you wish.

[TheJessy34]

I was wondering something, we can use different characters or couples for the different emotions, for example **love* emotion**: dean or elena/demon ect...??!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@TheJessy34 - It's up to you if you wish to do a mulit-fandom. Please just keep in mind storytelling is key. Along with creativity. Good luck!

[TheJessy34]

@SoYouThinkYouCanVid Thank you :)

[FetaVideos]

We are allowed to cut the song in any way we want, right? :]

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@FetaVideos - That's right.

[jocone123]

Holy shit. Thanks a lot awesome ladies!

[WickedKiss]

By the way how many editors are to be expected to be making it to the next challenge? :)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@WickedKiss - It depends on how the scores turn out. As of right now we are estimating 30. That could change.

[WickedKiss]

Omg! I mades it!! O_O YAY Thank you! :D

[BottledMichelle]

I'm so excited to take part in this round and I am excited to see what everyone comes up with… all these people are editors I admire!!!

[LJoyK]

I am having trouble getting on to the website.

[LJoyK]

@LJoyK Can anyone Help me & tell me if I got in.

[xX1994rulesXx]

@LJoyK can't see you under the finalsts name, sorry

[LJoyK]

@xX1994rulesXx Thank you for letting me know :)

[Naphie88]

Wow I can't believe i made it through to the next round, i really wasn't expecting it since there were so many amazing entries :) Thank you :) And congrats to everyone!! :)

[LynnisaMystery]

Finding out I made it to the next round: Best birthday present ever. Thank you.

[BlazedSilhouette]

It really is refreshing to come home from a long day and see this! I'm so happy I passed, i'm definitely looking forward to this round! Good luck everyone!

[whiimsy]

ah! i'm gutted i didn't pass through to the next round, but i'm so proud and happy for everyone that did - good luck everyone! :D

[catou121]

Congrats everyone!! :D I cant wait to see all the amazing videos everyone is going to make :)

[ccmrose]

So flattered and excited, thank you so much! Congrats to everyone else who got in!

[gss42x]

thanks so much for advancing me!

can't wait to get started.

just one question: you mentioned storytelling as a main focal point. can we use different footage to create the narrative, or do you want 1 story/fandom?

thanks again :)

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@gss42x - We are allowing complete freedom with your approach. The choice is yours whether you prefer to do a multi-fandom or stick to one. Good luck :]

[gss42x]

@SoYouThinkYouCanVid ok thanks :)

[BlairWaldorfQueenB]

Sucks that i didn't get in, but i loved doing the character study challenge, and even being picked out of lots of vidders to move on from the audition round, congrats to everyone who made it through to the next round, i'll definitely be back if you're hosting a SYTYCV Season 4

[JoiHerusan]

I have a question.

Can we show the emotions in any order we want?

[CrazierGirl1870]

@JoiHerusan

When creating your video you are able to use these emotions in any manner you please. They do not need to be in the order they are listed. For example. Group A could portray regret fear and then love. Or Fear Love and then regret. The choice is yours. (Got that from the website)

[JoiHerusan]

@CrazierGirl1870 thank you for replying :D

I feel stupid for not reading that on the website xD

[CrazierGirl1870]

Whoa I made it! Thank you, very excited!

[JoiHerusan]

I am so Happy I was put in Group 2. Love & Regret is not really my thing

but incorporating emotions is still difficult for me xD

Well good luck to the people who have made it so far ^_^

[LeahMarie624]

I honestly didn't think I was going to make it! Wow thanks so much! :)

[LeighHeni]

omgg:D im sooo happy, thank you SOO much for letting me trough, I LOVE editing!!!<33 and congrats everyone^^

[lumendion]

*SQUEEEE* I made it!!!!! Thanks to all the judges, I'm so excited!!! :)

[VilyaXxX0llwyna]

yaaaaaaaaaay I MADE IT!!! wooohooo *epic dance of happiness*

and I watched through all the entries I could and they were all great, so...really, everyone who didn't made it...YOU'RE ALL AMAZING VIDDERS!! keep up the great work and we'll see each other next season because I may be in now but I'll get sorted out soon enough xDD

[Lsdivoiletgreen]

@VilyaXxX0llwyna HAHA! I think that's what we all thought at first when we saw ourselves in the list ''I might be in now, but I might as well get sorted out soon enough'' Lmao! [:

[VilyaXxX0llwyna]

@Lsdivoiletgreen SO TRUE. first though: OOOH HAPPY ALL OVER....2nd: oh wait...

well I had a look at all the people in my group...! bye bye hope! xD but I think we'll all have fun though!

[Lsdivoiletgreen]

@VilyaXxX0llwyna XDDD ...agree [:

[xlovetoxicity]

Wow I am so surprised I got through! It is such a huge honour, thank you so much! At first I didn't see my username so I just accepted it cos of the level of talent I've seen in the JR but then I looked again and it was there and I did a fangirl-ish reaction haha. Congrats to everyone who made it to the Senior round!

[MinasPassion]

It was really enjoyable to watch all the character studies! Great job guys. And congratz to everyone who made it <3 I saw some friends on the list, so this will be really interesting and a lot of fun! I also love the emotions of group B ^__^

Looking forward to this round :)

[OnlyDoylie]

Wow. I'm surprised but so honored.

I'm mildly confused about this round. How long does the video need to be? Does it need to be Canon? Can it be cross over? AU? I'm guess I'm not sure what you're looking for. Thanks in advance.

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@OnlyDoylie - We are giving complete freedom this round. The choice is yours, we ask for the contestants to use their creative juices and incorporate the emotions in any way they please. The video shouldn't exceed 4 minutes. Congrats and good luck !

[OnlyDoylie]

@SoYouThinkYouCanVid Thanks for the response, ladies. :] I

[InspiresProductions]

so excited to have made it to the next round!! i've been watching the other entries and there are some amazing vidders there that i am just so proud to be listed among them!! :) <3

[deviousdramaqueen]

CONGRATS to ALL of the amazing vidders who got through to the next round!!! <3 the competition was stiff, i knew i'd never get through hehe but it was great that i even made it to the JR round, i was chuffed even then!

good luck to everyone, and if i'm still vidding next year, i'll be entering for sure. you guys are doing an incredible job with this! HUGS

vicxxx

[DaniDandelion]

Forgot to write my thanks beforehand about letting me pass to the SR, I did such a double-take when I saw my name! Congratulations and good luck to everyone in this round :-)

[k9lover27]

I have one small question about this round. It says on the website that we can display the emotions in any order we want, but are we able to use theme back and forth or simultaneously? Like a blend, I guess? Thanks in advance!

[SoYouThinkYouCanVid]

@k9lover27 - We'll allow that! Just as long as the emotions are present, feel free to incorporate them however you wish in your video!

[Shanice12OTH]

let's hope i will meet the deadline, i just started school and i'm going to be super busy, kinda wished the deadline was a bit longer :)

[CatAtak12]

Congrats to the winners and a big thanks to all the judges!! There were so many great vids in the JR challenge. I can only imagine how difficult it was to judge. Good luck with the next challenge everyone! :D
