When you enter please let us know the title of your film. You may also include a brief statement explaining the content of your video and how it was made.

Thank you! I really needed some extra time too! :)

I was just coming to this thread to say I probably won't make it in time, but the extension MAY change that :)

one question, what if you do a mash-up with ayu video with a US artist like say britney spears would that be ok?

and another questionm its kinda the same as the first but, what about audio could it also a mash-up like ayu x "insert US artist" mash-up?

EDIT:

and would i need to ask permission to use the mash-up audio, and but if i do get permission would still be ok? and the person is from here

Mash up of videos should be ok as long as ayu is feat. in the music or video.
As for the mash up I'm not sure whether this applies.

DO NOT use artwork created/edited by someone else to make your entry. This means that the source materials must be only official TV spots, PV, films, songs, etc. You can't just modify another person's fan art or videos.

^thank you for your help ^_^

Not entirely right from what I understood. The source material can also be footage you created from scratch, it doesn't have to be anything official.
Any other way a video contest would feel rather watered down, too haha

I think the question is essentially "Can I use a fan remix made by someone else as the audio track for my video"? The answer is no. You can't any use video or audio elements made by another fan. You must either create your own original audio and video, or you can mix and edit official source materials.

Btw, if you have a question that would reveal details about your entry please PM the question to AHS Staff instead of posting it here.

I heard a song I chose for video so many times today, that started to hate it %)

This was quoted from the first page ^^ and it's correct as it is refering to the key item that ayu is being featured as in ur video. regardless of video / music. the main source must be from official release. with the source, u can do whatever u like to it.

reminder
 
The deadline to enter is about 35 hours from the time of this post.

Eewyi 2nd December 2011 07:58 PM

Aah, I hope I'm able to finish mine till the deadline >__< [Thank god for 7 hours difference, I have some time tomorrow as well..] but really, I don't wanna fail to enter, I have dedicated over 12 hours [about 6 hours/day] nonstop for this, and it isn't even ready [I'm missing about 30 seconds of material, but I tell you, in video editing that's like you would have an hour left XD]
How's others videos are?

Would you change the deadline just for a day or two? That we would have the weekend as well.
But well, I'll try my best!

Tom Punks 2nd December 2011 08:16 PM

^ They've already extended it once. D:

kinix 2nd December 2011 09:18 PM

so excited for this contest ^^
Hopefully there's alot of submits.
Hoping to see creative and nice PVs from fellow AHSs

Eewyi 3rd December 2011 04:12 PM

My video is now ready, but the problem is that it's actually over the size limit and is 144MB. I have no options to get it any smaller, as I don't wanna loose the HD/Widescreen quality. So please, don't disqualifie me just because the file is little bigger >__<
EDIT: Sent the video and summary~

MissElin_ 4th December 2011 01:58 AM

^Maybe you should send in you video again but within the size limit just to be sure to get your video into the contest. :)
Cuz naturally I would love to have HD in my video too but I had to make the quality less good to make it fit within the rules so...

Yeah, staff said they try to get it to fit the size limit :3 But I'm just afraid that if it's converted to less good quality [I used AVCHD, and surprisingly avi. is bigger than it, although the quality is better.] the video will look grainy etc. And that would ruin it...I tried mp4 as well, but it doesn't support widescreen, so : (

MissElin_ 4th December 2011 10:09 AM

^Yeah I'm sorry but that's just the rules. My videos quality isn't really awesome and it's kind of grainy. But the quailty isn't what matters in the end, it's the video itself and ppl will still see your thought behind it. So I think you will be okay even if the quality gets lower for you too. :)

majrakun 4th December 2011 10:22 AM

Oh wow, wish I could've helped you guys! I encountered the same problem the with the quality:size thing, until I found this awesome free video converter that could actually convert my video into another format and barely affecting its quality! The file size was reduced to 20% of its original size!

Well anyway, here's the link for future use, I suppose :)

Have we passed the deadline yet? I'm horrible with time zones XD

Ah, I'm now converting it with DivX conventer and it seems it will get smaller :3 Hope this works!
