I'm not suggesting it's plagiarism, just noting that the scenes are similar enough that it might fall under the category of "obvious." But then again, that's part of AMV Hell's charm, I suppose...

Well, I have never seen Evangelion ReDeath, and none of the judges brought any sort of similarities to my attention either. Regardless of whether or not it ripped-off the idea from ReDeath, the decision will stand.

Oh, I wasn't trying to appeal the descision or object to the judging, just commenting on what jumped out at me.

I can't exactly prove that I didn't steal the idea, but you have my word of honor as a US Marine that when I made my entry, I had no prior knowledge of this other video. If that doesn't do it for you, just remember: there are currently 83,513 videos listed on AMV, and to have a similar video with such a popular anime (NGE) shouldn't be too surprising.

Damn, killed my buzz...

I don't see the harm as long as AmPsy didn't do it on purpose. I still think it's absolutely hilarious.

Besides, my idea has been done before too. When I had my idea and decided to start making it, I searched the Org for a Naruto video that used the Log theme. I found one.

At first I was like, "Well crap, and I thought I was being original," but then I decided to watch the AMV.

First of all, it was terrible. We're talking subs, lack of sync and quality, he threw in his own pictures of logs with "OMFG" written on them, and he said he did it overnight. Then there was the fact that he used a different version of the Log theme (he used the international version).

So I left him an OP saying what I thought about his video and then basically saying that I intended on making a better one, and I did.

I guess I'm just saying that no one is completely original no matter how hard they may try, but that doesn't mean they can't create something good.

Besides, if 4 experienced judges hadn't seen that AMV before, I doubt that a majority of the viewers of AMV Hell will have either.

*Cyclops watches all the winners/runners up at work...*

Must... Not... Laugh... Out... Loud....

Ok. Those were funny as hell. The one from AmPsy was one of those ones that is strangly funny. But, I found it funny enough....
pat_hulse made great use of Nartuo with a good audio... Where can I get one of those Logs?
rogueintellectproductions managed to totaly change what the footage shows. Nice....
ngsilver - Keep on rollin' rollin' rollin'....
and the other one... (File isnt named) Well, it makes sense to see something like that...

Again, Congrats to all ofyou. Total laugs!

Planet of the Apes. In the end the main character sees that the post-apocalyptic, ape-dominated planet he's on is Earth in the future and goes crazy spouting stuff like "You blew it up!" and "Damn you! Damn you all to Hell!"

AmPsy used the audio from that and put it to the apocalypic mind-f@$% scene in End of Eva.

So genius.

Thanks Pat, you rock. Using older movie audio like that, you kind of run the risk of half the audience not understanding it. It was a gamble, but I was glad I made it. I once sat though a Planet of the Apes marathon. Five movies (if I remember correctly) in one day. Strange movies...

Here's a picture from whence the audio came:

Just finished up the almost-final version of my second entry for round 11. Good grief is this song hard to edit for! This is a good challenge, Youko Seishirou! o.o Despite it being hard, though, I think what I've turned out so far looks fairly good. I'm actually rather impressed with my ability to synch fast action. And both are much better than my wildcard entry. ^^ Still not sure if either vid is round-winning material yet, but I'm pleased with my efforts if nothing else.
