Pin this, plz.

This Thread is the home to the Avatar S3 Final Episodes AMV contest. Here, you will be challenged like you've never been challenged before!
Challenge: I give up! Make an AMV from whatever song your little hearts desire! This comes after some well deserved criticism that SgtHydra was being a nazi...
I repeat: Use whatever you want. All videos that have already been submitted will still be allowed, but will be scored slightly higher to be fair. If you wish to resubmit, go ahead and do so.
----------
Rules:
Rules are simple. Make the best AMV, and you win. Stealing someone else's AMV is not allowed. Copying someone else's is fine. Don't want to have any "I thought of that first!"
----------
Material:
Avatar clips, obviously.
Edit said approved material as you see fit.
Edit: I srsly don't care what footage you use. NYCC is ok now. Your boon (if you wish to use a certian Sokka scene in the credits) or funeral (like for that one person who's gonna have a part in their AMV with some guy's head blocking half the view).
----------
Judging:
Judge #1: SgtHydra
Judge #2: ravenfilange24
Judge #3: edmasterchaos
Unoffical Judge(s): Spike815, EvilTwin77
I am obviously a judge, but I will need two volenteers to be ones as well. Actually, I'm probably gonna be working when it comes time to judge, so I might not be a judge after all.
Simply put, the judges will each give the AMV a score of 10, for a max score of 30. Highest score wins. If there is a tie, It'll go to audience voting.
To be successful with the judges, you'll have to reinterpret American Pie to fit avatar (for example, the phrase "Fire is the Devil's only friend" could be reinterpreted to refer to Azula, or Ozai.) Once you start, you'll get the hang of it.
As for the unoffical judges, think Simon from American Idol.
----------
Due date:
The world premier of the Final Episode of Avatar (whenever that is...). Maybe July? Ish...
Nobody say I never gave anybody time.
-----------
Contestants:
1. Arc64
2. Nightwing Gaang
3. Donut of Doom
4. Zhaguar_
5. teenage_fanatic
6. TheFungusyOne

Note:
None at the moment.

This Thread is the home to the Avatar S3 Final Episodes AMV contest. Here, you will be challenged like you've never been challenged before!

Challenge: Make an AMV of Don McLean's "American Pie." Its a very long song, so I'll divide the entries up into two sections:

Full Length, all 8 minutes and 20-ish seconds of the song, no cuts.
A cut version. The minimum length is 2 minutes. Max is... nevermind...

Rules:

Rules are simple. Make the best AMV, and you win. Stealing someone else's AMV is not allowed. Copying someone else's is fine. Don't want to have any "I thought of that first!"

If you super want to, you could use some other version of American Pie, but if the guy singing is Don McLean and its not the full version (there is a watered down radio version, so watch out for that one), you will be consider a "Cutter."

Material:

Avatar clips, obviously. However, any material from the NYCC will not be accepted. Just wanna throw that out there.

Edit said approved material as you see fit.

Judging:

I am obviously a judge, but I will need two volenteers to be ones as well.

Simply put, the judges will each give the AMV a score of 10, for a max score of 30. Highest score wins. If there is a tie, It'll go to audience voting.

Since I have no musical ability, I'll be an unofficial judge and taking pot shots at your hard work.

Have fun all.

Hm, didn't know that. Should've picked it up when ReflectTheStorm made the 'AMV Making Guide' thread. I'll get to work on the AMV, and I'll probably use a cut version. I expect to show you all that I'm good at what I do. Here's a sample of my work:

I'll take a stab at it. So far, doesn't seem to be much competition. Maybe I can acutally win! Are there any shipping preferences, or any preferences?

Whatever floats your boat (literally). Those are the rules.
