I have a question...
Umm, does it have to be just ONE ship. I'm not planning on doing like every character kinda thing, dont worry.
I'm just curious, if it still goes along w/ the theme, does it have to be just those two ppl in the ship??



I'll check back with the other CMs, but I'd say it's fine to have more than two people in the contest vid as long as it's still kinda plausible and believeable.

I'll let you know what the others said asap.



EDIT: Yep, it's fine as long as it still has the anti-ship theme and it shouldn't be tooooo montage-y. So you can use more than two people / more than one ship.

So, I have a question about okaying a song... Is "always" by salvia okay? I'm not even sure if i'm going to use it yet, it's just that it has a "i hate you" in the chorus, so I wanted to be positive that that doesn't fall into the realm of completely obvious.

Again, I'll have to ask the others first, but I had a quick look at the lyrics and they seem to be alright if you ask me. I'll get back to you asap.

I asked the others and they say it's fine if you want to use the song. It's a bit like "I hate everything about you", but as it hasn't been used as often as this song and since the lyrics aren't that obvious you can go ahead and use it.

okay, sorry, i have another question concerning a song. it's the last one, i promise. It's called "She ****ing hates me" by puddle of mud. I know it has the word hate in the title, but I thought i'd run it by you guys anyway.

I'll check with the others and let you know! (Sounds like I'm going off to confer with Ben, huh??? )

And while I'm here, I'm going to claim a song. Yes, me. The viddergirl who last entered a contest in June...2005! June is apparently my favorite month to do contests, what can I say? I'm claiming Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder."

*runs off to vid like mad*

Since we're "claiming" songs, I claim "How Long" by Hinder. Not sure if I can finish in time, or even if this vid will fit this contest, but I'm gonna try!

I've never entered a contest before, so I might try & enter this one, even though it's a bit late now. I've got a question though, when you're submitting your video, how will you know that it is a contest video or not? Or is there another way of doing it? Thanks!

Hey there, Lizzie! Hope you'll enter your first contest here! Check on the first page of this thread or on the June contest page of the main site for the full rules. But to answer your question about how we know it's a contest vid:

Quote:
When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "June 2007 contest submission" exactly in your vid's Description.


That let's us know which are "regular" vids and which are meant to be held for the contest. Good luck!

You're welcome, Lizzie!

riay_night, so sorry we haven't gotten an answer back to you yet. We're still "in conference" about it. As soon as we've reached an agreement, we'll let you know!

Here's what we've come up with on the "She ****ing Hate Me" front (and pretty much any other song that might be close to that ).

The contest rules said:

Quote:
1. No using that "I Hate Everything About You" song. WAY too easy! (Ditto for other REALLY obvious ones)


Which is just basically our way of trying to get everybody vidding their hearts out instead of getting a big boost from the song. But, we don't want to make this an impossible contest either, so we will allow the Puddle of Mud song. We just strongly suggest using something else and really letting your vidding skills shine through! However, we won't disqualify for use of that song. We are still requesting no one use "I Hate Everything About You," though.

Again, sorry to have taken so long! If you (or anyone) need an extension on the deadline, feel free to ask! Best of luck!

I've got a question too. I have a vid that would fit to your contest. Problem: it's not a music video but a crossover trailer (Lost scences to the trailer of a real movie). Can I submit this in the contest or is it music videos only?

If you don't accept it I will submit it on LVI anyway, so it's no problem if you say that you only want music videos for your contest. Just wanted to ask...
