Hooray, time for clarifications and stuff.
NEW VIDEO GUIDELINES (Aimed mostly at potential new editors.)
- It must use fullscreen footage.
- It must have instrumental music.
- This is not limited to current project members.
[EDIT: forgot about this one before] - With VERY few exceptions, it must be a new, unreleased video.
(Obviously, that was the easy part.)
- The project is titled "Animasia." Don't forget about the whole "Fantasia" aspect.
- Contribution to this project does not end with a video. You must write a commentary piece to go with your segment. You must be okay with revealing your full name and possibly a photograph of yourself for the credits. If there are any betas out, you are highly encouraged (if not expected, by me) to comment on them.
- You must take a serious approach to this project. This is not a MEP bandwagon that anybody can jump on. The video must be well thought-out and executed. After all, it's getting the so-called VIP treatment, with commentaries and painstakingly recorded voice-overs, and wrapped up in an elegant theme. You, and the rest of us, should feel that your video is WORTH all of that.
- The deadline is
August 23. I'd prefer to have them all in by Otakon. (August 19.) There is little room for flexibility, so I am not going to discuss that at this time. Please be serious about this, guys. Despite all the previous interest, nobody had mentioned anything to me on July 23.
- Your finished video will be voted upon by the current project members. When you've finalized your video, drop me a note and I'll tell you where to upload it on Kalium's server. The rest of us will take care of the voting.
- If your video is accepted, you must be able to get the other components to me ASAP.

VOTING GUIDELINES (Current project members, pay attention to this.)
- All new videos will be subject to voting. That includes mine and those coming from other current project members.
- All current project editors are eligible for voting. This includes downwithpants, ooshna, songbird, bakadeshi, otohiko, rose4emily, pen-pen, anubisx00, chris nguyen, and me.
- Voting will be blind. Kalium will collect and tally our votes. Once you've watched the final video, PM him with your decisions, under an appropriate subject title.
- Majority rules, but there must be at least 3 yes's for a video to be accepted. We've got plenty of eligible voters. I do NOT want to hear about a 2:1 decision where only three votes were cast total.
...
I think that's all.
Next up: stuff about the commentary voice-overs...
