YNTV Challenge 2 [CLOSED]

[PatronusProductions]

Hiye, I was just wondering if the results will be up today? Not to push or anything, but I'm going on a school trip tomorrow and I'd love to know the results before that. Only if it's possible of course, because I understand that judging must be hard.

[fizzlesbabygirrl]

I just finished watching all of the entries! This is a tough competition.. I am so nervous about it, please take as much time as you need with posting the results ! you have to make the best choices possible so I think everyone can understand the time it takes. thanks again for doing something like this for all of us vidders ^.^

[NextTopVidder]

Another update: Finished judging, got everyones notes and scores. Elimination is going to be tough because there were a lot of good entries and we're going to have to eliminate 11, i think.

[Keyinei]

o.o

so, the amount of people cut can vary slightly based on how good the videos are? ... like if two videos tie in score, you'll let them both through...?

[NextTopVidder]

I doubt we'll do that. What I usually do is get all the judges notes and organize a list of most liked vid to least liked. We discuss, I'd say like the bottom half of the list [which means the least liked vids] to see which ones get cut. This round however, we got a bit more picky because as the competition moves on, the vids get better and better which makes it harder to find flaws haha. Oh and right now theres 5 vids running for the title of best video of the challenge.

[LeighHeni]

well, that's hyperamazing cos i'm dyeing from the excitement, but still, maybe will you upload the results on this week?

[NextTopVidder]

Yeah, this weekend

[freddymichaeljason]

YEY! i cannot wait :)

[briony509]

You'll totally get through m'dear. Your video was EPIC. You know how much I loved it!

[LeighHeni]

[xWPrisonLoveMx]

[Keyinei]

ahhh I'm checking back every day to see how progress is coming along. lmao. xD by far the best contest I've EVER entered. why can't all vidding competitions be like this?

ah, take your time judging; don't get pressured, although of course the sooner the better :P

[NextTopVidder]

Just so everyone knows, I'm organizing the judges notes/votes/etc. Lol we've been really busy lately so sorry about the late results!

[PatronusProductions]

Thanks for letting us know :)) !

[freddymichaeljason]

[freddymichaeljason]

The competition is only for those who got through auditions and challenge 1.

-ActiveFJM

[SweetLadyBat]

I playlisted a few of my favs, though it's hard to choose ;)

[BottleItUpMichelle]

I have my favorites in a playlist! :D

[freddymichaeljason]

I bet u judges are glad u only have 46 vids to watch instead of 400 like last time XD

[hermioniehalliwell03]

I was wondering is there going to be another cycle of this once the winner is chosen? or is this a one time thing? if it is i would love to enter the next cycle

[freddymichaeljason]

Do want us to choose are faves again like last round?

[NextTopVidder]

Yeah, that'd be a good idea. :)

[alli6]

[kellygirl2002]

LOL!!! I am DEFINITELY this contest's stalker lol!!! But...I have failed to get a restraining order so stalk I shall do and we definitely need to go to Patty's house and force her to make a video. We can sing random songs to her until she finishes her vid lol!

[SeverusSnapehasmyhea]

Agreed!

[SnowFloProductions]

I'm just about to enter

It's very last minuet I know but I took me forever starting and finishing and starting and  you get the gist ;)

[DarkJuliet]

[PazGranger]

[PatronusProductions]

[DarkTory1000]

Thanks :)

[SweetLadyBat]

So, I'll def enter, won't be able to finish the whole vid, but I'll enter a preview. Just to let you know :)

The contest will be closed at 12 EST again? That would be 6am CET, right?

[PatronusProductions]

I have a question, before it's too late. I'm using an instrumental part of a song which normally has vocals in it. Is that allowed? Kind of stupid that I didn't ask this before, hehe..

[DarkTory1000]

Can somebody tell me :Is the end of contest at tomorrow night?

[buffyadict3]

Hey,

Just letting you know I do plan on entering; i've just been going through alot of stuff in my rl thats making vidding a little slow.. But I was wondering, is there any specific time the video is due before on the 25th?

[PinkGl8er]

hey i have a video can i enter]

[othfan45]

can anyone enter?

[NextTopVidder]

No, sorry, only the people who auditioned for the competition :\

[Asu95200]

Omg awesome challenge! good luck everybody

i love instrumental song video

& i hope my vid is okey :D

[PazGranger]

how many videos by person?

[xWPrisonLoveMx]

one

[freddymichaeljason]

I hope everyone is entering and not leavin like last round cuz so far theres only 10 vids.

[briony509]

Is the Challenge 1 page still up on the site? I never got to see my review, or the judges response to my vid...

[NextTopVidder]

Yeah, theres a link to the reviews on the previous vid. And sorry about late reply but yeah, you can use part of song that doesn't have lyrics as long as it doesnt have vocals.

[briony509]

Okay and no problem. Thanks for replying!

[chloex93]

ALL DONE *shines* I feel so special and speedy this round XP

[briony509]

Can we use part of a song if it doesn't have lyrics?

[JohnnyDeppsGirl4life]

I like how u made this video cool, I think i will enter..I prob wont win though..so many people are WAY better then me

[kellygirl2002]

You would have had to pass through the audition round and the last challenge to be able to enter this round. You can always try out for next season though =)

[JohnnyDeppsGirl4life]

ohh, ok..sorry then

[kellygirl2002]

Lol! You are fine! And like I said, you can always try out for the next season after this one has finished =)

[BottleItUpMichelle]

Is it ok if there is the 'B' word in a quote? It's just one.

[NextTopVidder]

Yeah, that's fine :)

[ActiveFJM]

Done! yey lol

[PirateTillTheEnd]

I've finished but I think I'm going to wait before I submit it, just in case.

[analeian]

OMG it's going to be so hard ! I'm one of those who exclusively use lyrics to build a vid ! I've always admired people who manage to make really good vids only using instrumental and voice-overs.

I've still no idea of what I'm going to do but that a real challenge, excellent idea ! ^^

Thanks !

[BottleItUpMichelle]

Since we can do a trailer, I'm guessing we're permitted to mix songs?

[NextTopVidder]

Just as long as both are instrumentals.

[BottleItUpMichelle]

Is it ok if we take from songs that have lyrics, but we take  only inst.?

[NextTopVidder]

Yes, that is okay

[SweetLadyBat]

Can I use a song that has a choir in it, but you don't really understand what they're singing? (something like "Duel of the Fates")

[NextTopVidder]

I'm kind of struggling on wether or not to say yes on that. Because with Duel of the Fates, the choir is actually singing something in another language so it would count as vocals. Would you mind PMing us exactly what song you're thinking about using?

[Irinis]

I have the exact same question...I'll send you a PM! :D

[briony509]

Am I allowed to do a trailer? It's an instrumental still :D

[NextTopVidder]

Yep, you're allowed to do a trailer. :)

[bubbleforest]

This may be a stupid question, but does originality in terms of the vidding subject count? Or are you more focused on the creativity of the actual editing in this round? I was thinking of doing a Skins ensemble vid, but I realize that may be a 'been there, done that' for the people who are judging. :D

[NextTopVidder]

This is hard to answer because creativity is one of those things that doesn't have a clear answer and it just varies. It could be creativity in the idea of the video or the editing. Just something we haven't seen before or something that sets you apart from other vidders.

[xXLoveEdwardCullenXx]

oh cool challenge! i hope i hav time to do it :/

do the videos havta be new?

[NextTopVidder]

Yeah, they have to be new

[KILLINGxLOVE]

goodluck everybody!!

the deadline is on my brithday, :D

[evrlastinggaze]

sweet! Happy almost-birthday~ Pretty sweet way to celebrate!

[biteme104]

Yay, can't wait to see all the entries here! :)

[RandHrShipper1]

I always love instrumental vids!! Looking forward to all entries. GOOD LUCK ALL!!

[EllyTheMetaller]

AMAZING challenge!

:D

I love instrumental songs,so I hope to do something good :)

[briony509]

Yay, I alrady have a gazillion ideas.

[xWPrisonLoveMx]

An instrumantal vid! I'm full of ideas :) I'll get to it right away!

[LeighHeni]

oh this gonna be interesting:P nah i would have a question, already, so can i use more than 1 song? (with editing)

[NextTopVidder]

Yep, you can as long as both songs are instrumental.

[kellygirl2002]

Great choice for this challenge! Instrumental videos are definitely great to see when they are pulled off nicely. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with and good luck to all of you! =)

[NatyS86]

Oh great decision on the challenge! :) I can't wait to see the entries! :D

[fracturedheart101]

yay!

[gidget14]

Oh no! Why did I have to pull out in Challenge 1!! I love instrumental vids- such a good challenge....wish I could have been in this one...

[LyzabethSay]

this is a totally new challenge separate from the last one right? so if we got kicked out of the last challenge we can still enter this one? please say yes =)

[kellygirl2002]

Sorry but anyone who was eliminated from the last challenge can't participate in the rest of the challenges in the competition this season. If there is another season, I am sure you can try out again =)

[NextTopVidder]

Kellygirl2002 is right, once you're eliminated, it's for the whole season unfortunately.

[ToxicExistance]

ah hurrah! This might get my muse back up and get myself in gear so i can finish the instrumental vids I've already started. xD

Thank you for the opportunity!

Cant wait. :)

[PatronusProductions]

Oh, I love instrumental videos, so I'm looking forward to doing this challenge :DD.

[felicim]

This is a great challange :]

[rgqf]

Sounds awesome!!: )

btw, do the videos still have to be family friendly??

[NextTopVidder]

Well we would prefer not to see nudity in the video lol.

[rgqf]

What about blood or gore??XD

I thought of a cool "Final Destination 3" video idea, but the movie is rated R. If I'm allowed, I'll try not to put too much blood in the video.

[NextTopVidder]

If you minimize the blood in the vid, then i think that'll be fine.

[Keyinei]

ilu you guys. I've been itching to do an instrumental for AGES now and this will certainly get me off my lazy bum x3

Can you use the instrumental version of lyrical songs, though?

[Keyinei]

lol sorry. Didn't see my question already answered up there

[josephandtoby]

^_______^

[404ing]

That's going to be interesting...

[TogetherAtLast]

*head desk*

[buffyadict3]

Such a good idea! I already have my video idea in mind ;)

[fizzlesbabygirrl]

looking forward to this! I hope I can get it done by the deadline ^.^

[freddymichaeljason]

can we use instrumentals of songs?

[NextTopVidder]

Yep, as long as it is an instrumental with no vocals.

[freddymichaeljason]

Ok thx :)

[k9lover27]

Oh, wow! I'm actually really excited about this challenge! I've never done an instrumental vid before, but I can't wait to get started!!

[thewinchestergospel]

Whhooo! This should be most fun! Good luck to everyone! :D

[gss42]

I have a question. in the results video, you said something about prizes and notes on each of our videos. i just wanted to know where we could find out both those things.

thanks.

[NextTopVidder]

I gave a direct link to the reviews on the previous video as for the prizes, those are taking awhile just because I haven't had as much free time :\ sorry about that.

[gss42]

oh ok. i'll just have to look back. and it's not a problem with the prizes lol. just wanted to know about them.

[gss42]

very cool challenge. can't wait to start on it!

[Dakateah]

Oh yeah! Amazing choice of challenge! Right in our syle of vidding, can't wait to get started =D Good luck to all the contestants! ;)

[freddymichaeljason]

Tht is so weird!!!!!!!! ive been thinking of vidding an instrumental and look wat happens! yey :)

-ActiveFJM

[PirateTillTheEnd]

*Head desk* Of course it has to be the same thing I did for the last challenge.
