Voting ends today for the first heroes_lvms challenge...

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

Today is the last day to vote in the first heroes_lvms challenge.

Here are the rules:

1. Vote fair! I cannot stress that enough. DO NOT vote against a video if you don't like the pairing or character.
2. Vote based on the QUALITY of the video.
3. Vote based on the ability of the program. If someone used Windows Movie Maker (which is not that great), but did perfect beat uses and nice effects verus someone who used Sony Vegas (great program) and did a lot of fancy effects and overlapping, but did not pay much attention to the beat of the song and the lyrics, vote for the one made in WMM.
4. DO NOT tell other people to vote for you.
5. What you should look for:
-Timing/Beat use
-Originality
-Lyric interpretation
-Use of Storyline/Alternate Universe (a plus, but not a requirement)
The 1st of the month: Challenge begins
The 7th of the month: winners of previous challenge announced
The 30th/31st of the month: challenge ends, voting posted

And here is where you should go to vote:

Vote. Vote now. Do it.

All of the candidates are streaming at that post, by the way, so you don't have to download anything. [/public service announcement]

Stage6 (DivX Streaming)

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

For those vidders who are putting their vids up on Stage6, Ive started two vidding related 'areas':

1. The Vidding Fans channel - if you tag your vid with 'vidding" I will try (at least for the start) to collect the vids by TV show. Personally I am not certain of the utility of Channels on Stage6 when using the tag 'vidding' will do much the same thing.

2. The Vidding Fans Forum - very much similar to the Vidding Forum we have on iMeem -a place where vidders can chat.

Finally, Stage6's performance is intermittent and for uploaders it is hard to use - if your vid gets stuck in the 'Ok I've uploaded it but now I cannot publish it stage' the best thing to do is delete and reupload.

If you're a viewer you will need to download the DivX plugin - the quality of the vids is amazing however.
