Anijunkie.com Talent Contest '08 |
|
Last year, you had a chance to show off your artistic skills through the banner contest. This year, let's tap into your musical talent. I am thinking about accepting VIDEO submissions of you performing on camera your favorite anime songs. The performance must include at least one vocal and one instrument. It's great if you can do both yourself. Otherwise, invite your siblings, parents, friends, etc to join in. Performing collaboratively is part of the fun. If singing karaoke is your only talent, beg a friend to accompany you with a guitar or other instruments. If you are a virtuoso pianist (be very careful pronouncing this word :) ) but with no confidence of your vocal, bribe someone with pizza to sing for you. Pick an anime song, fire up your webcam, and impress us with your skills. Your fellow Anime Junkies will rate your performance.
One top performer will receive $50 prize or could be more depending on how much money I have left on Paypal ;) . Top 10 performers could set up your own Paypal accounts and accept donations of any amount from your viewers. It's just like a street performer. The prize is not much. It should be enough for a good dinner celebration. But more importantly, it'll be fun.
Here are the rules:
1. You can only choose an anime theme song (opening theme, ending theme, etc).
2. Video must include both vocal and instrument performance. They can be performed by any number of people.
3. Register an account on anijunkie so that I can contact you.
4. At the beginning of your video, write with a marker on a piece of paper the following: Anijunkie.com Talent Contest '08, your anijunkie's username, title of the song, and name of the anime. For example:
Anijunkie.com Talent Contest '08
Username: ani-san
Title: Michi to You All
Anime: Naruto Shippuuden
Show those information to the camera for about 5 seconds, legible enough so that we can read it. Remember you have to write it on a piece of paper and display it to the camera when you start the recording. No text on video overlay or any other video effects.
5. Upload your videos to Youtube.
6. Use anijunkie's Add Video button and copy paste your Youtube video's link. Make sure you're logged in with your anijunkie account.
7. Entry submission ends on December 31, 2008.
To get you all inspired, have a look at this clip I found on Youtube. No, that's not me on the video :p. But I did get the idea for this contest after watching it. Hopefully, there will be enough people to submit their videos for this contest to be a success.

Here goes a brand new site for you Anime Junkies. Feed your addiction while at the same time share your favorite anime with other animeholics. When you discover those videos on any video streaming site across the net (veoh, megavideo, stage6, youtube, myspace, etc), copy paste those links to add them on this site. Yup, that's Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. It's as simple as that.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Naming convention: the series' name followed by three digits episode number (e.g. Bleach 003, etc).
- In the "Details" field, please include only episode's title since there is only a limited space on the listing page . A few reference sites for titles are Wikipedia, Anime News Network, etc.
- When you're adding a series whose category does not exist yet, please select "Uncategorized". One of the moderators will create the category and place those videos accordingly.
- Added videos will not be available instantly as moderators need to review it. We need to make sure things are tidy and organized. You don't want to waste half an hour just for hunting down a video, do you? Following these guidelines will help us tremendously.
- Use the
 button to inform the moderators when you find videos with problems (dead links, wrong episodes, etc).
- Feeling bored? Why don't you check the "Dead Videos" category and re-upload those videos for others to enjoy.
- For the rest of you, the leechers, please leave your comments on the videos. A simple thank you to the uploaders does make a difference. Better yet, get yourselves involved in healthy discussion about the video.

It had been about two months since I wrote a new post on this section. Been lazy, I guess. :p Just finished watching the latest episode of a new series, Detroit Metal City. It energizes me. Go to DMC!! Another anime to keep your eyes on is Bonen no Xamdou / Xam'd Lost Memories. It's not as fast pace as Code Geass R2, but it's awesome. Someone pointed out that it's got Miyazaki's vibe on it. And as always, thanks to whoever posted those great anime.
My girlfriend's birthday is next Wednesday. Feeling kind of lovey-dovey. Just wanna share this video. It's old, but it fits to how I feel. Sorry, if it's too corny, but hey at least I don't change the color scheme of the website into pink. Or should I?
