  • Just so disrespectful.

  • I wasn't even in this contest, but i just think it's plain disrespectful that you almost a year has passed since this video was posted, and the vidders that spent so much time on this will never know the overall results. Just so disrespectful. You guys could've passed it on to someone else. 

  • Can someone take over it?

  • Would you guys consider having someone else take over? I'm not sure if I could commit to it but good lord, someone needs too.

  • What a waste of my time... It's sort of lame that they made us wait for this, just say that it's canceled. It just looks like they stopped caring because coming from someone who works nearly 95+ hours a week, you are never THAT busy to not have some free time to do something. Especially in a 4 month time frame. Well, I guess there is Soyouthinkyoucanvid. I hope they do it again.

  • I'm so glad I wasted my time on making vids for this competition -_- did you guys even consider handing the contest over to someone else?!?!?!

  • this situation FTL plz

    ]:

  • Well that sucks.

  • Maybe you guys could at least tell us who would have passed to the next challenge? I mean, I know it's cancelled, but I still am kind of curious..

  • I think they don't check out the comments here anymore..:) *hugs*

  • @LeighHeni Yea, I suppose :\ .. Well, it was worth trying :PP.

  • LAMEEEEEEEEE

  • I couldn't agree with you more.

  • @TogetherAtLast

    AMEN to that XD!!

  • I'm not even in this competition and I'm disappointed. Yes, I know life get's in the way but seriously.

    Can't you get some other people to judge it? Just to be fair to the people who have spent hours making a video specifically for the contest?

  • I'm disappointed, not only that this contest failed, because it was such a good idea; but the fact that all of these fantastic vidders spent so much time slaving over making a video. I think, if anything, these people should pass on this competition to someone else. Someone reliable to continue it.

  • It wasn't really an original idea, since there have been so many contests like this. I guess my fingers are going to be crossed for a SYTYCV season 3.

  • Oh, no. I know. But this was directed at people with minimal subscribers, and I found that to be a good idea.

  • @SeverusSnapehasmyhea oh, I didn't know that sytycv was biased on subscribers, but this last season they had people with not even 500 subbers in their top 20. I just want to be a part of something solid. but your right, this idea about getting vidders known was good too! Such a bummer

  • *disappointed*

  • Comment removed

  • Any chance of letting other editors handle the competition?

  • LAWL well I kinda figured it was cancelled a while ago... I didn't pm you guys or anything, but "Please stop pming us." quite frankly, sounds super rude... uhh, well at least the way I'm reading in my head, yknow, considering people wouldn't have had to pm if there'd been like, what? One more update before this? That said I'm totally fine with the contest being cancelled, that unavoidable thing called life gets in the way, darn it, and ofc it's all good :)

  • Erm...is this contest..still going on?

  • The judges say it is, but to be honest I have no idea what's going on at the moment.

  • What I don't get is why you won't acknowledge our frustration or our questions at all. Are we just talking into a big empty void? It feels so disrespectful to me.

  • I normally don't mind waiting for contest results for quite some time, because I understand judging can be hard and all, but judges... It's been 4 months since the challenge closed.

  • Okay, guys now you see, this IS what i exactly think! I can wait, I like to think, that i'm pretty patient, but 4 months..

  • Also- for anyone else who's noticed- the -extended- deadline for this was Nov 8th- which means this is coming up on HALF A YEAR of making people wait. The excuses get old guys.

  • I have a friend in this and I know it's really frustrating for her- she worked really hard on her entry and stressed and fretted over it and this complete lack of news from the judges is disrespectful to the people who put time into their entries. We KNOW you have lives- you get busy- but so do your contestants and you expect them to be able to adhere to deadlines and then you show absolutely no respect for them yourselves.

    I wouldnt be surprised if no one bothers to enter the next round.

  • What's happening? Is this still going on?

  • Umm, guys?? This is getting a little ridiculous..

  • I agree. ^.^

  • Seriously.

  • When will you have the results?

  • It's gonna suck for those of us who won't get through to the next round that the wait has been so long.

  • fair notion. *sights*

    btw finally how many of us would get through? only 4 would be eliminated or still 10?

  • Thanks a lot for the update.

    Maybe you judges should just pick a time that's good for all of you...I have YouTube friends that live practically on the other side of the world and we still find plenty time to talk so I'm sure you can too.

    Good luck.

  • Look, I was ecstatic when I saw the update, But one thing I cannot ignore is this...

    Real life issues? That I can understand. what I cannot understand is THIS:

    Lizsjarofdirt: Last upload 1 month ago

    SakuraxNorrington: Last upload 3 weeks ago

    Scurvied: FOUR HOURS AGO.

    And I sent them a PM weeks ago: 12 Jan 2010. And NO reply. NO updates. Sure, by all means lead your amv lives, but for the love of God, sort out your priorities.

  • Do forgive me for ruining the party mood when you guys have returned, but I seriously need to get this off my chest. not for myself, but for my fellow contestants.

    kay, i'm done bitching now. :)

  • I'm totally with you ;)

  • Thank you so much for the update. It's nice to hear from you again :-)

  • that happened 3 weeks ago..i understand how bad that judge might still feel but there are 3 judges not 1..the other 2 could have posted the results or at least update us.we're just waiting without knowing if they ever gonna post the results!

  • @ xWPrisonLoveMx

    Yea, I mean, it takes long to recover from losing an animal. But everyone is right; there are 3 judges. One unable to do it means there are still 2 left who can do the work. A little update [and results] is all we're asking for..

  • exactly as you say! ..i'm checking this channel and the site every day hoping to see an update but every time i get disappointed. Is it really that difficult to leave a little msg saying .. well anything! if they don't want to continue with the contest they can just tell us..i don't want to sound mean or rude but this is really annoying!

  • Yeah, I totally agree. Maybe they're dead set on all 3 judges making the decision...idk. Either way I want to find out soon.

  • I helped judge this round of videos, and I felt as though I should get them done as quickly as I could. The judges even asked for me to finish them as soon as possible. I really don't understand how this could be taking so long.

    It's unfair to the people competing, and it's unfair to the people watching.

  • OOOOKAY I just msged them all. I think I sounded a bit rude, but I got the point across ;)

  • Did the judges reply to your msg??

  • @xWPrisonLoveMx

    yeaaaa- no. They didn't. :/

    Well, this is quite telling. What a fucked up state of affairs, man, seriously judges you guys pull yourselves together.

  • I'm gonna go msg all 3 judges now, because this is absurd. XD

  • As a contestant, I feel just slightly uninterested now that I've had to wait for so long for the results. We always had a deadline to meet even if we got sick, had to work double shifts and had school. Maybe the judges should make deadlines for themselves? So that they don't get that overwhelmed. It's been right under 3 months since the challenge was posted and 2 months since it was closed. We haven't gotten much updates either which makes us more restless. -_-

  • @fizzlesbabygirrl

    Amen to that! I don't know, usually I have the patience of a buzzard, but seriously, what the hell is this. :/

  • @Keyinei

    Agreed. It's been so long!!

  • I totally agree with everything you said. To me it feels like the contest just... died or something :SS. Waiting 2 months for results is just way too long. I mean, how long will it take to upload a results video? Like 15 minutes or something? 15 minutes out of 2 months is nothing.. If they'd only gave us a reason why it takes so long..

  • @PatronusProductions

    Yes! Like it's dead or something. They haven't logged in for weeks!! I don't mind waiting at all... but it feels like I am waiting for nothing right now. There have been no updates, but the judges have had time to upload videos. I don't know, maybe the competition isn't in their interests anymore. -_- I think making the videos isn't easy, and I honestly don't mind waiting 6 months I'd just like to know what's happening.

  • I don't really mind waiting either, but seriously... they expect us to finish our videos in time, and they make us wait for 2 months O__o"? They haven't logged in on this channel, and I don't think anyone has an idea what's going on. I don't really mean to be rude to the judges or anything, but seriously... If they can't go on with the contest anymore, they should just let us know.

  • @SakuraxNorrington

    Of course I respect your priorities, I understand how busy life can be. But some updates on how everything is going now and then would be a lot easier, I think. Then we know what you guys are up to as well, and it would cause less confusion. Because when we don't hear from you for like a month, people start wondering what's going on.

  • I'm with you.

  • Me to.

  • haven't logged in for two weeks.

    hmmm...either they're REALLY that busy, or something unexpected happened. I hope its the former.

    come on you guys why are there three judges? XD So if one gets too busy to cater to the contestants, the other two can... I don't know, but I'm getting the vibe that one of you is getting all the workload! I hope you guys can get the results up soon.

  • Are you going to post the results soon? Ok,i understand you're busy but there are 3 judges..right?One of them can post the results or at least respond! We have all made so much patience..it's been more than 2 months! :(

  • Sorry guys, I got sick this past week and my cat passed away recently :( I really havent felt up to doing anything.

  • @NextTopVidder

    shit happens. don't stress about it :]

  • I'm so sorry for your loss :((. Hope you'll feel better soon!

  • In that case I'll be patient. No worries

  • Comment removed

  • Are the results coming today!?!??

  • Hope to see the results soon :)).

  • Will the results be posted today?

  • aww the results weren't up yesterday :( Hopefully they'll be up today ^_^

  • Have the results been posted yet?

  • Super excited for the results!

  • Thank god, that means I can still take part in the competition (if I get through obviously ^^;)

    Can't wait :D

  • Yeah, can't wait to see the results up! =D Thank you for updating us, and take your time ;) Btw, the new bg is awesome! =P

  • Hmm. I actually think that a bit more time for this round would be a good idea, as suggested. After all, the holidays are here, people have vacations and gatherings to attend, and, well...I have lots of time-consuming Christmas vid projects XD

  • Yeah, I second that

  • How's the judging going? We're all very anxious to see the results!!

  • Are we gonna have a bit more time for the next round seeing as the holidays are here?

  • I can't wait to see the results! How is the judging?

  • Sorry to be a pain but is there any chance the results will be up before the 21st? I'm going away for 10 days then you see and I'm a bit worried.

  • O.O Um, no offense, but is it really fair to have to wait this long for the other 2 videos? I mean it's now the 20th and that's like another whole two weeks.

  • kay I'm all for extending the deadline a bit if people are having trouble and need a wee bit more time to finish up but this is...a bit ridiculous XD

  • I'm with you. I had to hurry like crazy to finish my entry in time for the deadline (even if the rendering made me a couple hours late) and it sucks that some others get so much more time to finish theirs...

  • Oh I'm sorry ha...we're not waiting for any more entries I just havent had a chance to change the description XD i'm sorry

  • yay 8D Have fun judging =))

  • ahut up at least you have a chance to be in the contest I did not I found out about the contest a month ago.

  • you poor thing. unfortunately, I don't give a damn 8) So piss off, you whiny fucker, and sell your sob story to someone who cares.

  • Are the 2 entries finally entered?

  • I have a question: how many people will be eliminated in this challenge?

  • @rotem270691 Only about 6 I think. Depending on how many vid responses I have this weekend.

  • oh, how many entries are we waiting on? I lose track of numbers ~ XD

  • @Keyinei waiting on two entries, I believe. lol

  • ^^ Sorry my entry is so late, and, well... not good, I've been quite epically faily this challenge :( If my entry is still allowed, thanks so much for the extra time.

  • My entry might be a tiiiny bit late, I'm having trouble with my external hard drive again.

  • Argh, like I said, my vid will be a bit late, it's done but the rendering is taking forever (for absolutely no reason apart from the fact that I am cursed by evil forces of uh... evil)

  • That's fine, just submit when it finishes rendering/uploading.

  • hi, i am so sorry, but my vegas surprised me...totally surprised me, so i am renderering my video for about 4 hours. I will post my video soon, is that okay then? i am sorry again..

  • Okay, it's uploaded and video-responsed... xD

    thanks for the understanding :)

  • Finally done!

  • Gah I am loving all these entries this round. Good luck to the judges for sure! haha!

  • Entered :)). Good luck to everyone!

  • I'm going to render my entry now. Hope Vegas will be quick, lol :).

  • I've sent my reply ! But might change my vid before the end of the deadline (yes I know a bit late now !)

  • I AM DONEEE YAAY

  • Nevermind my question, I changed characters :)).

  • Erm, does it matter that there will be more character studies about one character? Because I'm doing one on Edward Cullen, but I see someone else did that as well. Just asking to be sure, lol.

  • i know it's like 53498539475 years too late to join (well, over-exxageration, but still xDD) but i was just curious as to are you guys only allowed using real life characters in this contest? :3

    like, gossip girl, twilight, ect? and not, lion king or anything?

    just curious ^_^

  • nope; any fandom, it's just that anime/animation is less common in this competition. :P Death Note and Disney are the only media I have; and I'm in it soooo yeah. x)

  • Well congratulations. You've finally understood something. And that is one of the many rules in YNTV. Now, understand the rest of them. I wouldn't be surprised if you got banned from YNTV forever because of your bad attitude.

  • Everyone: I know you are upset and so irritated about that guy (he's getting on my nerves too). But that guy in question doesn't need you to care of what he says.

    He has proved he can not understand a word. You have already tried to make him realize he was wrong and he can't entered. He doesn't seem to understand once again. You have been patient enough

    Give it up. As I said it's going nowhere.

    And if people doesn't give a damn of what he says, believe me he will certainly stop.

    Worthless talk

  • Hey i would like to change my entry to "I will not be moved" thanks hun!

  • Deadline extended to Sunday Nov 8 2009 at 11:59 PM EST time

  • Great! Thank you!

  • I was wondering, since we never got reviews, is there going to be an extension for the deadline? Many viddders do not know what they did wrong in the last challenge to help them in this challenge. I entered to try to get better, and I am a little nervous with posting my entry this round.. please let me know

  • I agree on the extension. I've been smacking my fingers and telling myself "No! Be patience and wait for the reviews before you start on your entry, or else you'll just mess up everything" every time I've tried opening Sony Vegas xD

    Perheps it would be better if you waited with posting the next challenge until after you're done with our reviews? It must be very hard for you to start judging and writing new ones only days after you've done with the previous ones. You judges deserves a break too^^

  • I'm glad I'm not alone. ^.^ My thoughts too... I've gotten pretty far but I am not comfortable yet.

    My thoughts as well. Maybe it would be easier to post the reviews and the challenge together instead of reviewing, judging and then reviewing again with no breaks in between. I can't even imagine how hard it is to judge so many videos!

  • I had planned to release the reviews after I posted the new challenge but real life took over my time. And then my computer crashed and I had to redo all of the reviews <_< So yeah, this long a wait won't happen again hopefully.

  • Real life can be hectic, I know the feeling. That's why my entries have been late since I've had so much trouble in my real life. Computer issues never help either and I always have those.

    It's not a problem waiting. I wouldn't mind waiting 2 months for results in all honesty. ^.^

    It's just not having reviews and then having to submit another video without knowing where you went wrong feels ... off. So I want to thank you on behalf of everyone for the extension. It's highly appreciated.Thanks

  • maybe it would be better next time to wait until you've had time to do the reviews before you post the next challenge? so if a rl issue does come up it's not a big deal.

    also, i'm sure there are plenty of us not entering the contest that would be more then willing to help you shoulder some of this stuff.. even if its just beta-ing the reviews for you or helping respond to questions. It's a big job for just one person.

  • Has my video been acepted yet?

    -ActiveFJM

  • That's an extremely conceited thing to say. It's not this contests fault that you didn't enter your video in the audition round. If you have a really good video, post it. And let people review it in the normal way. But don't go around saying that you can beat other vidders if you didn't even enter in the first place.

  • You are really full of your 'editing abilities' aren't you? It's your own fault that you didn't enter in time, just get over it >__>"..

    And what does it matter that you started a video in Vegas and finished in Adobe? Editing programs aren't really that important.. it's about the outcome, not about the program.

  • hello sweetie, it looks you cannot really grasp that you should have entered the auditions, but if it's not enough, you should have read the competition rules, at lest. 2nd point: •Any fandom is allowed. No videos of yourself, it has to be a fandom. [ex: Fanvids about movies, tv shows, artists, video games, and anime are allowed]"

  • You amuse me :D

    firstly, your tactics are S-H-I-T. Not that I had any respect for you in the first place, but what with your 'holier-than-thou' attitude and 'you'll regret this's, I'm nearly wetting myself laughing at how pathetic your act is.

    secondly, learn to use punctuation.

  • I second tht! :)

  • nobody gives a shit what his videos are like. It doesn't matter; what matters is that due to real life, he didn't have a chance to enter the contest and he shouldn't be stupidly grovelling/threatening the judges so he can get in. It wasn't his fault, it wasn't the judges' fault. I don't know why he's kicking up such a big fuss over this, and acting like such an egoistical bastard.

    and - 'It's their loss' - how can they lose what they never had?

  • Comment removed

  • out of curiosity, what do you mean 'fake'?

    Because, in my opinion, I think you are just saying that because you're butthurt that you're not participating in it.

  • People, don't bother responding to them, it's not going to achieve anything. Liz isn't going to accept their entry because they didn't audition for this contest. There are plenty of other contests out there and if they truly believe that their talent is so beyond that of anyone else, then they should have no problem winning any other contest that they enter.

  • I'm responding to them out of curiosity. and boredom. x) But I do agree wholeheartedly with everything you said :D

  • Gabz you stole my words !

    Some people can't use their brain : no more time to waste there, it's going nowhere...

    Also wanted to thank the judges for the extended deadline ! ^^

  • Haha Anais :) Are you having any luck? I've spent the whole day trying just about everything to make this video work, but every clip I add just looks wrong. Gah.

  • WTF U ARE MASTERSUN88 JUST ON A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT! "I was also known as Mastersun88" how stupid do you think we are?!

  • Comment removed

  • A few words in response to this.

    GOOD! Piss off and leave people alone.

  • good riddance darling <3

  • Now you know how we feel. We also use hours on our videos and works really hard. What if you were in challenge 3? And had made 3 videos that took a lot of time, and you didn't get to do whatever you wanted. You had to follow the rules. Would you then think it would be fair that some random person get's to be in challenge 4 when he/she haven't done any of the other challenges?

  • Done. :) I used Dawn Summers for my video.

  • Amazing challenge!

    already thinkin about the character :D

  • Just incase my question didnt make sense...

    I meant if the song is about how hard it is for the character and how she depends on someone can we still use tht song or would it count as a couples vid? :S lol

  • You can use whatever song you want. Just as long as you do a character study vid of 1 character

  • UR NOT IN THE FUCKING COMPETITION U DUMBASS! don't you get it!?!?!

  • Please understand this; you - cannot - enter - this - competition. If you can't understand some of these words, please buy yourself a dictionary. I'm sure you can figure out the meaning of the sentence then. Just stop asking if you can compete... it's getting really annoying. I really don't get why you keep on asking. Just try again next season.

  • I need to fuck off? What about yourself? I think that if there is anyone here that should fuck off, it's you. Dude, I don't give a damn about your 'bad ass' video, I don't think anyone here does. You just think WAY too highly of yourself and your videos. And having a program is one thing, knowing how to use it is way more important. I'm wondering when you're going to understand that you can't enter. And I'd NEVER EVER wish for someone like you to be in this competition.

  • wow. In the beginning, you were just a pain in the ass, but now you've evolved into a three finger prostate exam. Fuck off please. Get off your high horse; you think you're so glorious and awesome that you can bypass the rules.

  • In fact, I'm almost amused to think what would happen if you WERE let into this competition, and then not passed to the next round and slapped with an honest review on all your flaws. Then you'd probably throw a tantrum and walk out in a huff. Darling, what you want is not to enter this competition, you want us to fall to our knees and give your ego a blowjob. Sadly that's not going to happen anytime soon. :]

  • Let's face it. He is just a tragic, lonley boy who is so desperate for attention that he needs to embarrass himself to get it.

  • I love you. Marry me?

  • hey liz i know that on the site for challenge 2 it says that we can change our entry if we make something better and i just wanna be sure that rule still stands =] i finished my entry but i still have plenty of time left that i may be inspired to make a different one =]

  • Yeah, you can replace entry before challenge ends

  • AWESOME challenge, I'm PSYCHED! XD

  • Wooo!!! Yea!! i love you guys!! haha amazing challenge!! i saw this vid before but i didn't comment cause i want just so excited and started making the vid!!!

    question: is it ok if i make a 5 minute vid?? or is it too long..? thanks :)

  • No thats fine :)

  • Um, yeah. TOTALLY did not see this coming. Yougaiz are really (really) good at surprising us, you know? x)

    are we permitted to mix songs this round? Like, one song for one aspect of the character or something...

  • Go ahead, you can do that :)

  • Are you reviewing all the ones that did challenge 2, or just the ones that got to this round? x

  • im reviewing all the entries

  • Good luck everyone! I can't wait to see the new entries! :D

  • I have no idea what character study is!

  • omgg:D yesterday i was thinking what challange you can give and it came into my mind.. but then don't know.. I just didn't vote on thisx) so wow:D love the challange! i guess it will change and i realize that it's so hard like the previous two, but atm im optimistic:)

  • SWEET! This is going to be so much fun. Good luck & have fun everyone! :D

  • If the song u use mentions someone close to the character tht helps them and stuff like the lyrics "and it leads me to you" can u still use the song?
