I recently sent in 2 vids to your contest.

I'm just curious now over your rules if it meets the standards on one particular video of mine. For you see, one of them has a level of violence that lasts about 30 seconds and I included a filter on there that gives it a shadowy effect, so the violence is still shown, but not in intense, graphic detail as it was shown originally.
